Stepping away a little bit from the Sad Bastard theme, today’s installment is about party songs, those ones that when they play everyone in the party will stop and start singing, even if they are mid-sentence. Even if you don’t want to, you are COMPELLED…by the jamz.
Baby Got Back – Sir Mix-a-Lot
Don’t act like you don’t know all the words to this. Or that the second you hear, “Oh. My. God, Becky…” that you didn’t get excited. If I come to a party at your place, this song BETTER be on the playlist, or I’m taking my Franzia and going home.
Rump Shaker – Wreckx-n-Effect
All I wanna do is zooma zoom zoom (and a boom boom)…what about you?
Hip Hop Hooray – Naughty By Nature
The best part of this song is at the chorus when you go “Hip Hop HOORAY! HO! HEY! HO!” and then point at your hooker friends on the “HO!” parts. Never stops being funny..
Early in the Morning – Gap Band
This is one of those old school ones that make me go, “Oh my GAWD, this is my JAM!! Hold my purse!” (Oh, like I’m the only one, DON’T EVEN PLAY…)
O.P.P. – Naughty By Nature
I think I was about 20 before I knew what O.P.P. stood for.
Da Butt – EU
Oh, woe if you had a name listed off in this song…like Melissa, which is close to ALYSSA. Yeah, a little traumatized with my parents chanting “UH-lyssa got a big ol’ butt, OH YEAH!” on car rides in the 80’s. *sigh*
Alrighty, moppets, what song makes you throw your purse at a sober friend and shake your booty on the dance floor?

Bad Touch by Bloodhound Gang! I’m pretty sure I know all the words to that one, and start dancing around like a maniac whenever I hear it.
And yeah, “I like big butts…” was like the theme song in high school!
Jump Around by House of Pain! That song + me = giddy. “I ain’t goin’ out like no punk bitch…” Aw yeah…
(There are more, but that’s at the top of the list for sure.)
We could party together & have a grand ole’ time. Love every song on this list & EU… I so wanted to be the girl in the video, she was in the front dancing down the hallway in the blue biker shorts.. she had the cutest angled bob that was all the biz back then!
