Good party tunes

[Tallison]

"Fat Man in the Bathtub" inspired this.



Name me some others.

[aquaman]

1. Reign in Blood.....

By Slayer....tune gets the party pumped up everytime.

[hickman1937]

2. J Geils, Lookin For A Lovin.

From the Full House album. Works every time.
edit for I forgot how to spell their name.

[Tallison]

3. How 'ya doin?

Happy Friday and when was the last time you listened to it? I'm a little out-of-my-whatever right now, and love listening to Fat Man in the Bathtub at times like this :headbang:

[hickman1937]

4. Haven't heard it in years.

Stopped buying the damn thing after the last time it got stolen/borrowed, around 1987. Can still hear the opening bars in my head though. Da da DA Da, da Da DA, somebody help me, da da DA Da. :beer:

[Tallison]

5. Ha! I'm on my 3rd copy...

That and "Let it Bleed" have a knack for disappearing

[hickman1937]

7. Don't get me started.

Full House, Dark Side of the Moon, Yellow Brick Road, all stolen, and I kind of understood. But why did some fuckwad take Born to Run? Jackasses didn't even know who Bruce was. They were all about Fleetwood Mac. :nuke:
edit for disjointed ranting and leaving out words.

[Tallison]

8. Speaking of Elton John...

"Rocket Man"'s another good one




I also like "State Trooper" from Nebraska

[hickman1937]

10. Was Badlands on that album?

Another one stolen. Time to start replacing some of this stuff. Lost Leo Kottke in the divorce, and stopped buying music. Too broke for too many years.

[Tallison]

13. Not Badlands

I think the whole was planned as a concept album.

I love Leo Kottke's playing, can't quite get into his voice, which sounds to me a lot like Greg Brown. I'd be happy to some time burn you the 4-5 Kottke albums I have if you PM me w/info. :)

[Elidor]

6. I love me some Feat

Waiting for Columbus is possibly the best live album of all time. I certainly can't get enough of it.

[Tallison]

9. You're either a Feat person or a Dead person

[KitchenWitch]

15. ummm, I like both!

[Tallison]

19. But you really PREFER one

Admit it...

[KitchenWitch]

20. Okay, okay, I am more a Deadhead at heart

x(

[Tallison]

21. My theory lives on...

Thanks for indulging me :D

11. "Half a Boy and Half a Man" by Nick Lowe

will get any party started.

[Tallison]

14. Don't have any Nick Lowe

Will check this out :thumbsup:

[Tallison]

22. Just listened

to a bunch of his stuff online through itunes. Thanks for the introduction. He may be among my new favorites right now. :thumbsup:

[musette_sf]

30. He's one of my all-time faves forever

I got hip to him from Rockpile days way back when. I had the experience of a lifetime when he played at Sweetwater in Mill Valley CA a few years ago. We were able to get in early because we sort-of-know Austin "Audie" DeLone, a longtime friend of Nick's who opened the show, then did a few encore tunes with him. Sweetwater is about the size of a McMansion "bedroom suite", and we had seats right in front of The Man, who did a stellar solo set, with many of the tunes from "The Convincer".

Audie came on for the encore, and they did "Half A Boy And Half A Man". Whatta groove!

If you get into Nick, one of his most fun CDs is "The Wilderness Years", a collection of weirdness and "we recorded this when we were really loaded so we don't remember very much" tunes. The Bay City Rollers songs, written in an attempt to write and record the world's worst song to get out of a shitty contract, actually were hits.

[Tallison]

33. I'm burning his stuff

right now to take in the car with me tonight. Wish I could remember what I downloaded. I'll look for "The Wilderness Years." What I heard last night just floored me.

[Tallison]

34. Have you heard Leo Kottke?

[musette_sf]

36. yes, since back in the early 70s

but Leo just never really did it for me.

[Tallison]

39. Having just heard him...

I like the basic sound, but after a while it starts sounding almost too much like itself. :shrug:

[musette_sf]

42. Nick Lowe on Trio today 10/23

Montreux Jazz Festival marathon today on Trio.

Montreux Jazz Festival 1995: Rock & More

[Tallison]

24. Thanks to hickman and elliot

I've spent about $160 on Nick Lowe and that other guy at itunes since 4 this morning.

:hide:

I think I need to stay away a while.

[TroubleMan]

25. Apparently "Celebration" by Kool & The Gang is a DU favorite

especially at weddings:

[kwassa]

27. Early Kool and the Gang was MUCH BETTER than that piece of

pop dreck. They re-invented themselves much like the blues band Fleetwod Mac into a pop mainstream band.

The early Kool was songs like Hollywood Swinger, Jungle Boogie, and Funky Stuff.

[TroubleMan]

29. Actually, I like all of their stuff

including "Celebration." It's not their fault it has been way overplayed in cliched situations.

[Left Is Write]

26. This Beat Goes On/Switchin' To Glide by the Kings.

Rock & Roll Party In The Street - Axe
Moneytalks - AC/DC
Volcano - Jimmy Buffett
Low Rider - War
Play That Funky Music - Wild Cherry

[kwassa]

28. James Brown, George Clinton, Early Kool, Sly and the Family Stone

gets the party going every time.

[Tallison]

35. Bootsy Collin's Watermelon in Easter Hay

No, wait, that's Zappa...gotta' check my sources here.

[brentspeak]

31. "Runaway" by Bon Jovi is a good way to kick of an 80's theme party

[Tallison]

40. My coworker is a Jovi head

Got a big poster of him next to her desk in a professional social work office.

:shrug:

I'll have to ask her about that one.

[musette_sf]

32. "Double Shot Of My Baby's Love"

by the Swingin' Medallions, of course!

Woke up this morning, my head was so bad
The worst hangover that I ever had
What happened to me last night
That girl of mine, she loved me so right
She loved me so long and she loved me so hard
I finally passed out in her front yard
It wasn't wine that I had too much of
It was a double shot of my baby's love

Double shot of my baby's love, yeah yeah, yeah
Double shot of my baby's love, yeah yeah, yeah
A potion that I had too much of
It was a double shot of my baby's love

It was such a thrill it was hurtin' me
I was sufferin' in ecstasy
She had me turnin' flips and-a shoutin' out loud
A sip of her love and I was walkin' on a cloud
One night a week is-a plenty enough
It's a good thing for me they don't bottle that stuff
Well, my heart begins to fly like a dove
When I take a double shot of my baby's love

Double shot of my baby's love, yeah yeah, yeah
Double shot of my baby's love, yeah yeah, yeah
A potion that I had too much of
It was a double shot of my baby's love

Double shot of my baby's love, yeah yeah, yeah
