Rock&Roll suggestions?

So, my sweet Ivy is turning 1 in a week, and we ageing rockers are planning a Rock&Roll themed party this Sunday - I've got a couple of ideas for music and games, but looking for more suggestions, the weirder the better!

What I've got so far are:

The Who's "Kids are Alright" and "My Generation" - DEF! And one of the contests will be The Pete Townsend, with inflatable guitars.

I've thought about a paddling pond and a ramp and various toy cars.

The piñata will be record-shaped (gold record, maybe!) which is a bit Keith Moon - Sheesh! Didn't any groups besides The Who do interesting things?

OK, possibly too interesting: Would it be too sick of me to make bat-shaped biscuits for the kids to bite the heads off?

Ham sandwiches, maybe? I know the Mama Cass story is apocryphal, but in my lexicon, hilarity trumps pedantry.

A little more staid:

Kiddie jam session
Name badges that look like back-stage passes
Buffet table with full-sized deli slices and half-sized slices of bread (that's a bit obscure for most people, I suspect)

Prizes for: Best Dressed and Best "Hotel Room Redecoration"

More music ideas? More games ideas? More food ideas?

Thanking you, ta
Marina & John & Ivy

did you see the episode of kirsty allsops xmas homemade thing? as far as i can remember she used old vinyl records to make serving dishes. she put one over an oven safe bowl and put them in the oven until they went soft and the sides flopped downgiving you a bowl shape. try googling you will probably find it.

It's a nice idea in theory but, No, vinyl is sacred to me - even if it was an album by an artist I didn't much care for. And even then I'd worry that the artist's bad mojo would jinx my party.

Keep the ideas coming, though - thanks!...
