Posted by Firecracker, Tue Feb-13-18 10:39 AM

Wedding, club (regular or strip), bday bash, baby shower, u name it

What's the ONE song that's guaranteed to get you up out your seat?

Me: Appolonia 6 «Sex Shooter» - everytime

13234166, Return of the Mack - Should be the New National Anthem
Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Tue Feb-13-18 10:55 AM
Can't think of a song that gets more of a cross section of people bobbing their heads.

I actually do a bar trick where I get it played on the system at random bars to show how many people start the head bob when it comes on.

13234175, I'll have to think of mine. But my girl loves Usher's "Yeah!"
Posted by Marbles, Tue Feb-13-18 11:03 AM
She has given me strict instructions that any time "Yeah!" is played at any function (wedding, bar, club, party, networking event, parade, etc.), I have to immediately stop what I'm doing and find her to dance with her.

Whatever I may be doing at that moment, I have to excuse myself and find her.

13234274, Being a DJ, it's hard bc I play so many songs and burn them out. But...
Posted by -DJ R-Tistic-, Tue Feb-13-18 12:53 PM
Maaaaybe "Super hyphy." Or just something super West Coast like "Dollaz, drank, and dank."

For an old school song, for surely "Housequake"
13234342, What songs do you THROW ON at the function?
Posted by Firecracker, Tue Feb-13-18 02:56 PM

That's bonafide.... And not February 2018 Blocboy & Drake, but February 2010-11-12-etc
13234402, So many. "Blow the whistle" is easy for every crowd, but a true CA crowd
Posted by -DJ R-Tistic-, Tue Feb-13-18 04:50 PM
will get more hype to "Super hyphy," "Yay Area," "Burn rubber," sometimes even Turf Talk "Groupie" if it's the right age group.

It's the cliche songs that cross generations....Before I let go, Candy rain, Poison, This is how we do it, Jay "Give it to me," Mariah "Back that azz up," "Fantasy," Cameo "Candy," etc. etc. But there's certain songs that only work for certain age groups, yet they work amazing wonders. Such as....Mo pussy, No vaseline, I'd rather give you my bitch, for the 35+ L.A. "Luchini" goes hard for basically any 35+ crowd, East or West. "Benjamins" is kinda cross generational, but goes hardest with the 35-45...same exact thing as "Crush on you." "Housequake" "Head" "Let's work" and several Prince songs go HARD with a 45+ crowd, West and Midwest, possibly the East too. "Nasty girl" works a bit more universally.
13234356, Candy - Cameo

doesn't matter how many songs they mixing or what the blend is I'm on it.

I almost called up a radio station one night cause they played it right before going to a commercial break. How dare you.

Brought this up in another recent post but this song gets a TON of hate from people (saying it doesn't fit the album, among other ridiculous things) which I just never understood at all. Beautiful, beautiful piece of music.
