\/\/illy Posted January 17, 2003 Report Share Posted January 17, 2003 I'm DJ'ing a friends Stag & Doe on Saturday night and I'm looking for help with my selections. Now be serious here: I cannot play a 72 minute version of the 'Dead playing Crazy Fingers. So, what are some tunes that would be cool to play yet also be crowd pleasers? I tend towards the funk but I will need to mix it up for everyone. Any suggestions provided will be greatly appreciated! Love and peace, \/\/i!!y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booche Posted January 17, 2003 Report Share Posted January 17, 2003 Well, Stag and Doe? I am going to assume you arent dealing with blue haired people.........man, I gots ta be careful or I am going to go on for an hour! Beatles Beatles Beatles is safe in the early 'non-dance' stage. After that, holy moly, good luck. I hope you know your crowd. Get on Kazaa or something similar, and look for: Lay Down Sally, Getting Jiggy With It (I'ld be up!), Pump Up The Volume, ok, I am done. I could go on and on and on. You have to know your crowd, so bring EVERYTHING. Just make a crapload of cd's, but keep them in some sort of order (eg, Funk, Dance, Hip Shit, Old Time RocknRoll) and you should be alright. The more you bring, the safer you are. A DJ is like a referee.......no one notices when they are good, but BOY, do they notice when they are bad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paisley Posted January 17, 2003 Report Share Posted January 17, 2003 Zepellin "Rock and Roll" always gets me dancin once the drink is flowin any popular Marley some Clapton Neil Young um, assuming the age group, some 80s suggestions... I melt with you - Modern English Lips like sugar - Echo and the Bunnymen any pop English Beat Smiths The Fixx I want candy - Bow Wow Wow Tainted Love - Soft Cell (for those there who aren't married yet) Talking in your sleep - The Romantics The politics of dancing - Re-Flex some Elvis Costello (I'm the man, Allison, Watching the Detectives) The Police Peter Gabriel or Genesis Wang Chung The Knack Drugs in my pocket - The Monks The Clash New Order well, some ideas, good luck on all that... you're the man for the job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booche Posted January 17, 2003 Report Share Posted January 17, 2003 quote: ask backbacon for his Mega mix....it covers pretty well everything!! For a guy that just recently came out of the closet, that makes alot of sense. What is your ex/girlfriend's number again? I think a few people are looking for it. Speaking of which, George Michael goes over very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Low Roller Posted January 17, 2003 Report Share Posted January 17, 2003 Stag huh? Let's assume you want things to get out of control: - Jimi Hendrix - OLD Metallica - Cypress Hill (Hit from the bong...) - Alice in Chains Unplugged - Sex Pistols - Nirvana - Static X - Stone Temple Pilots That stuff will guarantee property damage. For when the strippers get there: - That "Dirty" song by Christina Aguilera. Of course it sucks, but have you seen the video?? Very apropos. That reminds me of a joke: Q: "What's the opposite of "No Man's Land"? A: Christina Aguilera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Not Bob Posted January 18, 2003 Report Share Posted January 18, 2003 I would love to get a copy of the full show of the Rolling Thunder Review in Toronto (IMSMR) where Gord played with Bob. I have a full RTR set, but I believe it is Montreal (I know for certain Gord isn't on it). Rob Not Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Not Bob Posted January 18, 2003 Report Share Posted January 18, 2003 Suffering sucotash! I do have that set! Rolling Thunder review, 12/01/75, Gord Lightfoot comes out and does Life Among The Ruins, The Watchman's Gone and Sundown (right after McGuinn does Eight Miles High and Chestnut Mare).
