please settle a party music arguement for me

WiDGe->

rite fellas!! just back from a party where ive had a party with one of my so called best mates. i had youtube going towards the end of the nite and i had some terrible tunes going, for example five, will smith, and the king of all songs wes - alane when my "friend" tells me that im wecking everyones head and he turns on boring **** like arcade fire.

now dont get me wrong, i like a bit of that kind of stuff but i think its a bit boring at a party. so the party dies IMO and i say it to him, cue him going onto a big rant about how much of a c u next tuesday i am listening to this kinda music at partys. i could keep going on about what he said but that really doesnt matter as im very drunk.

my only questio is in regards to party music - do you prefer to listen to pop ANTHEMS no matter how **** and catchy they are, or are you one of these proper assholes who only likes music "from the heart" as my freak friend would say.

ps will smith - gettin jiggy wit it = best tune ever

Xavi6

Will Smith's music should never ever be played again.

He should probably give up the acting game too come to think of it.

WiDGe->

are you one of these guitar playing lads??

Jesus Wept

That's rich comming from a backstreet boys fanatic Xavi.
Glasse houses and all that.

I agree with the OP.
Gettin jiggy wit it be the SH1tnizzle

Watch your step you might fall
Trying to do what I did
Mama-unh mama-unh ima come closer
In the middle of the club with the rub-a-dub, unh
No love for the haters, the haters
Mad cause I got floor seats at the lakers
See me on the fifty yard line with the raiders
Met ali he told me Im the greatest
I got the fever for the flavor of a crowd pleaser
Dj play another
From the prince of this
Your highness
Only mad chicks ride in my whips
South to the west to the east to the north
Bought my hits and watch em go off a go off
Ah yes yes yall and ya dont stop
In the winter or the (summertime)

Gettin jiggy wit em

Whos the kid in the drop
Who else will smith
Livin that life some consider a myth
Rock from south street to one two fifth
Women used to tease me
Give it to me now nice and easy
Since I moved up like george and wheezy
Cream to the maximum I be askin em
Would you like to bounce with the brother thats platinum
Never see will attackin em
Rather play ball with shaq and um,
Flatten em
Psyche
Kiddin
You thought I took a spill
But I didnt
Trust the lady of my life she hittin
Hit her with a drop top with the ribbon
Crib for my mom on the outskirts of philly
You trying to flex on me
Dont be silly
Getting jiggy wit it

And let's not forget this classic!

Xavi6

Fair enough Rig, I'll give you the Fresh Prince tune but his other stuff is horrendous. 'Wild Wild West' being the main offender.

WiDGe->

eh no.

miami and will2k are my particular favorites

Jesus Wept

Ah summertime is a classic summertime song

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_W9kcxdPPjk

And what about Miami?

You're clearly doing him a great disservice Xavi

Come on now, I'm all for cheesy party songs but 'Miami' is a shocker.

OP, you need to embrace the 80s instead

Here's some backpassage boys instead to placate you Xavi

No.
That is just wrong.
Seek help.

Widgie, no offence but your taste is bloody awful. If you're going to listen to the cream of the 80's/90's at least make it the good, less cringeworthy stuff.

Will Smith is a cool dude though :P

Cheese is great to have for a party. Back when I was a yung'n, just like you are now WiDGe->... ahh I remember well.. I had a grand selection of cheesy tracks to pump out at the party.

You should add these to your cheese collection, they go down a treat:
Balini - Samba De Janeiro
Jimmy Ray - Are you Jimmy Ray?
Sagget - Funk That
Sin With Sebastian -Shut up and Sleep with me
The Kelly Family - An Angel

I'd soon get told to turn that **** off and it'd go back to the same music you hear at every one of these parties by the same people. Guaranteed to hear the same music at each party

Flamed Diving

I hate when people get back and stick on hip-hop and start throwing their poses.

**** off! Dancing is meant to be about having fun, not furthering your arsehole agenda.

nobodythere

OP, me and you would get along. I would enjoy every second of torturing you.

**** yeah! Getting JIGGY!

A song written as a movie theme tune is bad you say? Well I never.

They are rarely classics. Will smith on the other hand is a legend. Oh and before I forget, thats a FACT.:cool:

You do realise you can play good music at a party without it being boring?

And when someone starts looking up youtube at a party you know it's gone to ****.

Toto Wolfcastle

I'm with you OP, 90s crap FTW!

I'm going to crack out my Will Smith CD and then maybe my Hansen tape.

Mmmm Bop also FTW!

Epic Tissue

I'd be on the OP's side for this one!

It most certainly isn't a fact.

His music is shite and he hasn't done a half decent movie since Enemy of the State ten years ago. Legend for the Fresh Prince, tool for pretty much everything else.

Lets not go down that road. Theres only so far you can stretch that 6 points against Utd, it doesnt equate to winning anything more than 2 games. In fact, as it turns out you'd probably have been better off losing both games and staying out of Europe, it doesnt seem to agree with you.

I think a ceasefire is needed.





Will Smith is a legend btw.:p

When your the guy in charge of the music at a party know your audience. If there a bunch of hipsters chances are they'll want some electro with a pinch of house/grime dnb dubstep. Metalers want to listen to metal / rock. If the crowd are wearing skinny fit jeans with waistcoats they'll want to listen to Arcade fire and whatever else indie people listen to.

I'd say you were wrecking everyones head and killing the party. Its never acceptable for a guy to play blazin squad or five! unless of course they are playing it to 8 year old kids, a scandalously hot girl requests it or your gay (camp gay at that).

When you sober up you may see the light

Edit:

what you were playing isnt cheesey 80's tunes its sht 90's pop. That poll is rubbish

source

i'm all for cheesy music at parties, but not crapy pop music, give me 80's any day of the week, however, i firmly believe that at a party you should try to match the music to the tastes of the guests and the mood of the party.

phasers

My parties usually just turn into a "sit-down-drink-and-smoke-athon" so I play stuff people actually enjoy listening to

Creature

Let each person put on some music of their choosing for a short while. That way one person doesn't control the flow and alienate others. Sure you'll get someone who wants to put on Maniac 2000 or some other tripe but it wont be on the whole night.

Dave147

This is all you need.. nice and loud!

nyarlothothep

yeah totally, going to miami surpasses anything by The Arcade Fire, cheesy but good pop like that made by smith/MC Hammer/Seal/Timberlake/early 90s dance and that chick who sings behind a psychedelic background in a music video for that song from 1990, is waaaay better than indie.

120_Minutes

to be honest, judging from the op, him and his mates parties sound like the seventh layer of hell. but then again i do have impeccable taste in music.
