We are family...I often wonder in my profession, what makes a good party song? I know that there is a top 100 in every genre that is updated weekly. But what makes one song make more people "shake their groove thing" than another. Of course this question needs to be answered in several parts. There needs to be answers for each genre. An answer for each era. Every age group will have a different answer on what makes a good party song. On my website, the top 200 most requested songs changes every week. There are, however, quite a few songs that stand the test of time. The top 200 dance songs as I have them at this time is as follows:1 Ac/Dc You Shook Me All Night Long 2 Abba Dancing Queen 3 B-52's Love Shack 4 Morrison, Van Brown Eyed Girl 5 Outkast Hey Ya! 6 Lynyrd Skynyrd Sweet Home Alabama 7 Def Leppard Pour Some Sugar On Me 8 Black Eyed Peas Let's Get It Started 9 Sister Sledge We Are Family 10 Kool & The Gang Celebration 11 Clapton, Eric Wonderful Tonight 12 Commodores Brick House 13 Bee Gees Stayin' Alive 14 Sir Mix-A-Lot Baby Got Back 15 Usher Feat.

Are these the songs that you want to hear at your parties this year? Are there any songs that you don't want to hear ever again. Be honest with yourself. There are songs on this list that you love to hate. In public, you will say, "I am so tired of hearing that one!" In the privacy of your home or car, you will turn it up and get "Jiggy with it." These are my thoughts at 4:57 in the am on a Tuesday.Call on me anytime...
