    acctually, Billy Idol is the right idea- and yeah, the cha cha slide ? i dont think they'd ever heard of it?
    Basically, they probably wanna hear dave mathews and pearl jam, but i refuse to play that- but i dont wanna alienate the crowd??? No dipset (too gangsta), no M.I.A. (too hip) - maybe Prince and like Rock Lobster -

    You underestimate the power of the Wild Thing. It prompts a lot of lip synching, fist pumping and ass grinding among this set.

    This is not a joke: if you want to get a square white people to dance you gotta play the Jackson 5. Drop 'I want you back' or 'ABC' and it will pop off. Mom, dad, grandma and grampa will do their best James Brown. trust me, I know white people.

    No, someone there WILL ask for the Cha Cha slide and that Miami Sound Machine 'Conga' jam. Bring 'em.

    And instead of asking us, ask the couple. If they don't tell you anything, then yeah...ask us.

    80s 80s 80s, but 70s disco hits too.

    and bring some 90s country hits, someone will also demand "Friends in Low Places" or "Travis Tritt".

    I hate to say this, but you're gonna have to play "Kiss" by Prince.
  • batmonbatmon 27,574 Posts
    ABBA-Dancing Queen
    Rolling Stones- Start Me Up
    Madonna- Vogue or anything else.


    Dont sleep though, there is always that one/two kids who listens to Hip Hop and asks for some other stuff just to prove he's "real" so I'd have the Bat-backup hardradiohit w/ me.
