I want to make a compilation of songs about going out and partying. Give me suggestions.

GO!

[hpdrifter]

Examples:

Beware of the Boys
Summer Madness
How Do U Want It
Take it Off - The Donnas

You know, not stupid played out stuff, no disco. Just good songs about going out and having a good time.

I think

[Savage Jimmy]

Whenever I'm getting ready to celebrate I gotta put on
Party Hard: Andrew W.K.

then these are some that I'd put on during a party.
The Brews: NOFX
Yellow Submarine: the Beatles
Party at 174: Bouncing Souls
Friday Night, or, Everything's Wonderful: Lily Allen
Bullying the Jukebox: Bouncing Souls

Great party albums to just play all the way through: Strictly Rude by Big D and the Kids Table. Or anything thing by the Slackers would be really fun. Same goes with the Aggrolites. Really laid back albums great for a lively but not chaotic parties.

[Drederick Tatum]

I avoid Yellow Submarine like the plague. awful song.

[Drederick Tatum]

there's at least about two dozen James Brown tracks that make perfect sense at any party.

[Drederick Tatum]

The Hold Steady - Massive Nights
Sam Cooke - Twistin' the Night Away
Rick James - Dance Wit' Me, Below the Funk(Pass the J)

[paul jones]

'Werewolves of London' - Warren Zevon

[hpdrifter]

Little do they know, ha!
