Mumsnet Talk

Hi there! I love cooking, but my talents for tomorrow's party have been overlooked and I've been asked to provide the music! Eeekkk! Suggestions please for your ultimate New Years soundtrack. Thanks in advance. X

What kind of tracks do you need? Dancing, chilled out, golden oldies?

I think more dancy, please. X

Definitely lots of cheese - lots of 80s, liberally mixed with more cool stuff. Rhianna's tracks always get people up and dancing. Kasabian's "fire" was the party-starter for us at last party - its a good bet as popular with both sexes. Also love Will Young's recent stuff - Jealousy is a great dance track. Kings of Leon, Tinie Tempah, Adele, Katy Perry.

well well well - didn't know you got hooked on here

I really did make her do it you know..................party play list - pass

AT midnight - Baby You're a FIIIIIIREWORK
Followed by U2 New Year's Day
Perhaps some Chariots of Fire to welcome the year of the Olympics
Gotta have a bit of Celebrate good Times COME ON We're going to have a paaaarty tonight...
Shakira usually gets people's dancing
As does the Black Eyed Peas Tonight's Going to be a Good Good Night
Ricky Martin

Baroque: you are totally useless

Everyone else: thanks for the ideas. Much appreciated.
