1. 'Like a Prayer' by Madonna
A truly bully party has to have drama, and who better to provide this than the Queen of Pop, Madonna. Indeed, there was drama effectually 'Similar a Prayer' fifty-fifty before the single came out in 1989—recollect that Pepsi ad campaign? And so there'south the song itself: jags of electric guitar followed by a huge, cavernous pulsate thwack. A waft of angelic choir singing. And so: 'Life is a mystery / Everyone must stand alone / I hear you telephone call my name / And it feels like…'—expect for it—'Dwelling house.' And lo, the drumbeat kicks in and we're thrust right into the chorus.
'Like a Prayer' is a crazy, outlandish, imaginative, absurd vocal, which makes its success as a dance-floor filler all the more ridiculous and wonderful. Add in a dollop of worldwide scandal, objections from the Vatican and the sickest gospel coda e'er to characteristic in a pop song—and you accept the greatest political party song ever recorded. Ladies and gentlemen, we give thanks you.
ii. '1999' by Prince

Similar Orwell's 1984 and Kubrick's 2001, Prince's '1999' is less a sell-by date than a declarative prediction fabricated timeless by persuasive fine art. Information technology isn't possible to political party like information technology's 1999 every unmarried time – hey, we're merely homo – but this vocal will get even the dullest wedding disco popping.

If you weren't already a member of the Beyhive, this ane surely got you hooked. Information technology'southward an anthem for single ladies everywhere, yes, merely an infectious trip the light fantastic number for all.

iv. 'Gonna Make Y'all Sweat' by C+C Music Factory
'Everybody, dance now!' And then goes this song's yelled refrain, and we'll wager you'll have a hard time non shaking what your mama gave you lot when the crush kicks in.

Rejoice!

OutKast's future seemed uncertain in 2003 when the acclaimed Georgia duo of AndrĂ© 3000 and Big Boi appear the release of 'Speakerboxxx/The Beloved Below'—less a new group album than a pair of conjoined-twin solo sets, with each member making token appearances on the other's disc. Merely critics were silenced by the irresistible single 'Hey Ya!'

7. 'Poison' past Bell Biv DeVoe
Bop bop-bedop bop-bedop-bedop prisoner of war! If at that place's a more than indelible pulsate sample than that one that leads off this 1990 marvel, nosotros've however to hear it. The tune that follows is a clinic in new-jack-swing excellence, a classic caveat-emptor tale concerning an irresistible femme fatale ('cutting', as it were, 'like an Afro'), set to a staccato shuffle beat and crowned with that heavenly Ricky Bell claw. Yes, pure dance-flooring venom.
viii. 'Stone with You' by Michael Jackson
MJ's hits grew increasingly difficult-edged equally he entered the 'Bad' zone, just before triumphs—like this 'Off the Wall' masterpiece—all the same feel almost impossibly cushy, similar easing onto the plushest sofa imaginable.

This one is pure class.
ix. 'Push It' by Salt-N-Pepa
You're not just encouraged to dance during this jam, one of the all-female rap crew's first and biggest hits; you're actually ordered to hitting the dance floor and work upwardly a sweat. Given the song's thumping beats, it's pretty much incommunicable to ignore that request. (We'll ignore the ruling from Hurby 'Luv Problems' Azor, who guests on the song, that pushing it is 'only [for] the sexy people.')
10. 'Political party Rock Anthem' by LMFAO
At that place'south something beautiful well-nigh the purity of EDM-rap duo LMFAO's music. Words similar 'witting' or 'progressive' or 'future' do not apply hither – at all. They have fun.

True story!
13. 'Got to Be Real' by Cheryl Lynn
The opening horn riff of Cheryl Lynn's get-go and all-time-known single is then certain to trigger a alluvion of dopamine in your brain, it could rightly exist described as Pavlovian.

Some parties are cool. Some take gimmicks. Some marking a special occasion. But the very all-time parties have a feeling of unbridled joy to them, and this 1984 hit from Wham! is a 100% proof distillation of the smiley stuff. It is, of course, utterly ridiculous, from the opening 'Jitterbug!' intro, to George Michael'southward white trousers and 'Choose Life' T-shirt combo in the video. Merely sweet Lord, those high notes, the slap bass and that brass breakup! Too good.
15. 'Gangnam Mode' by Psy
The least probable runaway smash of all fourth dimension? With a video that's now racked upwards more than four billion views, Psy is without question a juggernaut-size quirk complete with his natty couture and pony-gallop signature trip the light fantastic toe. Still, he could hardly fail with this song's thumping trounce and 'hey, sexy lady' refrain. Only brilliant.
16. 'The Ability' by Snap!
'The Power' might exist near famous as a snippet in service of jock jams, but the tune is a force: It's a paranoid, rushing affair, anchored by the accordingly named American emcee Turbo B. His rhymes but take the silver when compared to Jackie Harris's cries of 'I've got the power!' Nostalgic, yes, but nonetheless live plenty to become the crowd ultra-pumped. Oh snap!
17. "Pump Upward the Jam" by Technotronic
Incessant utilise of the word booty, a driven iv-on-the–flooring drumbeat and a psychedelic music video featuring divas in neon spandex suits spinning similar propellers. It's no wonder "Pump Up the Jam" became a massive hitting in 1989, pretty much kick-starting the mainstream hip-business firm movement. Who could resist those insouciant vocals (supposedly uttered by Congolese model Felly Kilingi), littered with slang phrases that you lot haven't heard in at least 15 years?

The official video seals the deal: Even Hammer'southward baggy trousers scream confidence.
nineteen. 'Baby Got Back' past Sir Mix-a-Lot
Pure comedic genius isn't exactly what comes to mind when thinking virtually early '90s rap, but controversy certain is.

But it's a subversive, tongue-in-cheek transport-up of the hip-hop lifestyle: a Black man's counterpart to Spinal Tap's 'Big Bottom.' Information technology was even prescient: How many 'serious' rap videos followed with tight shots of the bottom half of curvy ladies? Almost have a favourite line from the cutting, Mix-a-Lot'south euphemisms and analogies rolling off the line like the Barbies he laments. 'Baby Got Back' was the 2d best-selling song of 1992.

20. 'Relax' past Frankie Goes to Hollywood
Frankie'south 1983 debut single didn't just spawn an iconic T-shirt – information technology also became ane of the decade's most transcendent club hits.

Creepo it upward and shout, 'I crashed my car into the bridge / I don't care!' at the top of your lungs for ultimate DGAF carousal.
22. 'Kiss' past Prince
The omnisexual twirls and splits Prince busts in the official video for this sleek 1986 jam might convert the virtually hardened disbeliever, but honestly, he had u.s.a. at the tingly guitar licks, the tighter-than-a-duck'southward-ass beat and the instantly memorable chorus: 'You don't take to exist rich to be my girl / You don't accept to be cool to rule my globe.'

23. 'Dancing With Myself' past Billy Idol
This vocal was originally written and recorded past Generation X, the punk foursome fronted by Billy Idol, before he remixed and re-released the track as a solo effort in 1981.

After all, there's not one among us who hasn't felt the ache of loneliness on the trip the light fantastic toe flooring.

28. 'Hella Good' by No Dubiety
Gwen Stefani dropped her go-to quirky and emo poses on this one, in the process outing herself as a seriously badass dance-floor commando.

You'll discover snarly guitars, a bangin' drum fill up or two, and other subtle nods to No Doubt's alt-rock full-blooded, but in the end, this is simply an early-aughts update on what the Parliament crew liked to telephone call 'uncut funk'.

30. 'Oh Yeah' by Yello
How do you plow a six-year-old Swiss cult act into an overnight sensation? Add Matthew Broderick, apparently.

35. 'California Gurls' by Katy Perry
Katy Perry and Snoop Dogg's 2010 megahit reaffirms the indisputable truth established by Tupac in the mid-'90s with 'California Love': 'California… knows how to party.'

43. 'Express Yourself' past Madonna
No song captures the essence of Madonna's iconography quite like 'Express Yourself', a girl-ability pep talk delivered in an amped-upward version of funky 1970s soul. Its unprecedentedly lavish video—directed by a pre-Vii David Fincher in an accordingly Expressionist style—embodies Madonna's defining persona every bit a fiercely sexual chameleon. I minute she'southward the boss lady in a ability suit and a monocle, grabbing her crotch like a butcher version of Michael Jackson; the next, she'due south crawling on all fours and lapping a bowl of milk. Even when she's literally in chains, neither the video nor the vocalizer leaves any doubt equally to who's in charge.

Where to start amongst the booty-bumpers and rump-shakers bequeathed upon a grateful nation by Parliament-Funkadelic acrid-funk overlord George 'Uncle Jam' Clinton? 'Flash Light', 'Bop Gun', 'One Nation Under a Groove'—we're spoiled for choice. This laid-back cut gets the nod for its mantralike vocals: When 'we want the funk' rubs against 'turn this mother out', the outcome is groove nirvana.
48. 'Ain't Too Proud to Beg' by the Temptations
We're don't desire her to leave either, dudes. The Temptations' 1966 Motown staple boasts a two-chord chorus that'due south ridiculously snapworthy. And David Ruffins's tortured-yet-sweet lead-vocal verses are perfectly suited for drunken sing-alongs.
49. 'Do You Dear Me' by the Contours
Ah, the sweet ecstasy of raw '60s soul music, equally perfected on this 1962 hit, written and produced by Motown mastermind Berry Gordy.

Writhe on, kids!
l. 'I Got You (I Feel Good)' past James Brown

51. 'Tightrope' by Janelle Monáe
Like Prince before her and Bruno Mars before long later on, Janelle Monáe showed that she'd taken the lessons of James Brown to center: not just with the piled-loftier pompadour, simply with the minimalist beat, sassy brass, urgent bassline and, more than anything, the positively hypnotic urgency of her monotone verses on this 2010 R&B banger. Truly euphoric stuff.
52. 'Super Bass' past Nicki Minaj
Nicki was turning heads with riotous rhymes for a few years before 'Super Bass', only this was the track where she proved that her pop instincts were as sharp every bit her kiss-offs. The genius of the vocal is the way it combines Minaj's signature loose-cannon loopiness—dig that sudden lapse into a cheesy British accent, or the 'Yes, I did; yes, I did' refrain—with a smashingly bubblegum chorus. Nicki, you've even so got our heartbeats running away.
53. 'Hot Girl Summer' past Megan Thee Stallion
What's a hot daughter summer? Well, regardless of the flavour, it'due south about doing your thing and non caring what other people think.

Put on this track and everyone tin feel like the life of the party.
54. 'Gold Digger' past Kanye West feat. Jamie Foxx
We want prenup! It'south a testament to the sheer infectiousness of the biggest hit from Ye'south classic 'Tardily Registration' anthology that this funny, whip-smart and completely unromantic song was a staple at wedding receptions in the mid-aughts. Seventeen years after it dropped in 2005, it remains admittedly blistering.
55. 'Mo Coin Mo Problems' by the Notorious B.I.Chiliad.
Life didn't imitate, merely rather predated, art when Brooklyn rap maestro the Notorious B.I.One thousand. was gunned down months before the release of his No. ane smash, 'Mo Money Mo Problems'. Brushing bated the bluster, blowing and E-W feudin' that led to his untimely demise, nosotros cull to focus on this undeniable fact: Large Poppa always got the party poppin'. On 'Mo Money Mo Problema' he is ably assisted past 'Harlem World' rapper Mase and ubiquitous hype man Puff Daddy (in the days earlier Diddy), but it's all prologue to Biggie's verse. And when Poppa implores the states, 'Throw your rollies in the sky / Moving ridge 'em side to side,' his power to unite the world under 1 outrageous all-nighttime bacchanal becomes clear: Nosotros all—freaks and geeks, jocks and hipsters, suits and slackers, New Yorkers and Angelenos—know what to practise.
56. 'In Da Club' by l Cent
Eventually, every teenager reaches the age of feeling too cool to sing 'Happy Birthday' on his or her large day. In 2003, fifty Cent filled the natal-celebration void with 'In Da Club'.

57. 'O.P.P.' past Naughty by Nature
Naughty by Nature's hits accept become a chip of an inside joke as of belatedly, babyhood memories of repetitively watching Hip Hop Hooray on MTV surging back into gimmicky existence. But 'O.P.P.' isn't merely irony catnip for thirtysomethings: It'south a fantastic hip-hop song, complete with a Jackson 5–sampled claw and ribald insinuations. (If you weren't hip to the New Jersey crew's inferences back in the 24-hour interval, surely the moans in the background tipped y'all off.) Arm me with harmony.
58. 'Thong Vocal' by Sisqo
No ane can be held responsible for what transpires in the four minutes after the opening string melody of Sisqo's breakout single 'Thong Vocal'. Released in 2000, the ditty received multiple Grammy nominations and effectively launched the R&B crooner's solo career. For a song nigh underwear that contains the lyric 'she had dumps like a truck', that'southward pretty impressive.
59. 'Higher Basis' past TNGHT
Even after its brusk-lived heyday, TNGHT remains one of electronic music's about potent recent matchups. Bass luminary Lunice's club-rattling beats brand a viciously ferocious pairing with the recklessly maximalist synth-frenzy of Kanye-affiliated producer Hudson Mohawke. The single which launched them to trap-mainstay-status consists of just a few elements (a looping vocal sample, seismic 808 drums, and a stomping horn riff) but together they tin make a political party audio undoubtedly enormous.
sixty. 'Started From the Bottom' past Drake
Drake is an enigma wrapped in a riddle wrapped in some other enigma wearing sweatpants. On the i hand: multipazillionaire hip-hop star/ladies' human being/Lil Wayne-BFF who curses a lot. On the other: makes super-meta, hilarious, on-point videos like this one from 2013, which mocks the very lifestyle it celebrates. Avoid overheating your brain on conundrums like this by just turning your stereo up actually loud, hitching up your low-slung trousers and throwing some shapes.
61. 'Take on Me' by A-ha
Pop-idol pinups they may have been, simply the members of Norwegian trio A-ha also made groovy, genuinely inventive music in their mid-'80s heyday. The jewel in A-ha'due south crown, of course, is the dazzling debut single 'Take on Me'. This synth-pop gem is chiseled similar a diamond, with a perfect keyboard riff and a melody that moves in and out of major keys just equally singer Morten Harket's phonation turns from desperate to hopeful and dorsum again. Add together in the trailblazing animated video, and 'Take on Me' became indelibly imprinted on the brain of anyone who saw it.
62. 'Wannabe' by the Spice Girls
Sure, in that location are probably 'better' Spice Girls songs – the disco update 'Who Do You Recall Yous Are', the Motown tribute 'Stop' – but this rollicking debut single still feels like an electric stupor to the soul. It's a fearless statement of intent from a feisty 5-slice who rewrote pop'south rule book in the '90s past proving that girls could claim spaces traditionally occupied past the boys. If you were there, you'll however think every word – right downwards to 'Zigazigah!'
63. 'I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)' by Whitney Houston
In the wake of Houston'south tragic decease over a decade ago, we heard this immortal jam, more than than any other single by the pop queen, blasting at parties and confined, and it wasn't hard to see why. A hitting in 1987, 'I Wanna Dance with Somebody' embodies Houston as nosotros all want to remember her: carefree, upbeat and bursting with exuberant emotion. The vocal itself embodies all those qualities and endures as a quintessentially '80s dance-floor masterpiece for the ages. You can't not axle when this one's on.
64. 'Here Comes the Hotstepper' by Ini Kamoze
Jamaican dancehall toaster Ini Kamoze burnt up clubs in 1994 with this irresistible groove, which has its roots in the 1964 Wilson Pickett striking 'Land of a Thousand Dances'. Check that vintage video and you'll come across from where the subsequently single gets its naa na na na naahs. Nevertheless, 'Hither Comes the Hotstepper' has its own laid-back, deliciously funked-up vibe, thanks to an obscenely fatty bassline—not to mention the lyrics 'Actress-ordinary / Juice like a strawberry.' The song hit the acme of the charts in the U.S. later existence featured in Robert Altman's mode ship-upwards, PrĂŞt-Ă -Porter. All together, now: murderer!
65. 'Jump Around' by House of Pain
California hip-hop trio House of Hurting'southward international hit single was produced by Cypress Hill'due south DJ Muggs, who deftly used samples of rhythm and blues icon Chubby Checker and Motown staple Junior Walker & the All Stars. But never mind all that. Growing upward, what was important about this song was what you did when yous heard it. Forget the body gyre and the butterfly, when 'Jump Around' comes on the speakers, it'south time to mosh.
66. 'It Takes Two' by Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock
Since 1988, this high-powered hip-hop jam from Harlem'due south MC Rob Base and his turntable wingman, DJ E-Z Stone, has hyped up countless arenas, nightclubs and puddle parties the globe over. Its instantly recognizable sample of Lyn Collins' 'Think (About It)' inevitably gets the crowd bouncing and shouting, 'Woo! Yeah!' in unison. Yet information technology's the song's, um, baser innuendos that lift it to the next stratosphere of political party-playlist immortality. Because when y'all pace off the dance floor and begin your arroyo toward that love you've had your eye on all night, yous'll be mighty glad that the object of your affection is still breathlessly humming the refrain, 'It takes two to make a thing go right / Information technology takes ii to make it out of sight.' Hit it!
67. 'N**gas in Paris' by Jay Z & Kanye West
Pusha T rejecting this massive Hitboy-produced beat might have been for the all-time (according to him it sounds similar a video game) because the star power from the respective husbands of Kim and Bey turned the guaranteed banger into a veritable club anthem. And it's become a necessary political party bonding activeness, also: trashed guests inevitably screaming "that shit cray!" at each other and somehow still mustering riotous laughter in response to that one Will Ferrell Blades of Glory sample (did anyone actually watch that picture?).
68. 'Rump Shaker' by Wreckx-N-Outcome
There may be more poetic paeans to the female posterior, merely few volition get those glutes moving on the dance floor quicker than this New Jack Swing duo's hit well-nigh… well, bank check the title. Credit that saxophone sample lifted from the Lafayette Afro Rock Band or the tricky chorus most wanting to 'zoom-a-zoom-zoom in your boom-boom,' simply either way, this early-'90s ditty ever lives up to its title.
69. 'Walk This Way' by Run-D.Thou.C. with Aerosmith
Still funky Steven Tyler and his Boston hard-stone road dogs might have been during their prime, the idea that Aerosmith could fill a trip the light fantastic toe flooring without passing out on it during the subsequently-party didn't happen until Jam Master Jay, Run-D.M.C.'s slashing DJ, pulled the grooves clear off the vinyl in 1986. Information technology'southward a genre-busting collaboration that all the same feels thrilling more than 35 years afterward.
lxx. 'What Makes You Cute' by One Direction
The members of Ane Direction may still have been fighting through their teen years when this track was released, but they sure knew how to get people dancing. Step aside, Aaron Carter; this banger signalled a new generation of male child bands, bigger and better than e'er. Keep your fingers crossed Harry Styles slips information technology into the setlist on his adjacent bout.
71. 'Da Ya Think I'thousand Sexy?' by Rod Stewart
Borrowing a chorus from Brazilian cult star Jorge Ben Jor'due south 'Taj Mahal,' Rod Stewart struck dance-flooring gilded at the top of the 'Disco Sucks' era. Today, Ben Jor's yet a cult hero, Stewart's nonetheless going strong, and this louche, seductive cut has long since transcended its guilty pleasure status.
72. 'Y.Chiliad.C.A.' by the Village People
The widespread success of the Hamlet People may exist the nigh dramatic case of how gay culture went mainstream in the disco era. Dolled up in costumes that camped up masculine archetypes, the quintet sang paeans to sailors, cops and macho men in lyrics carefully crafted to pass. To those in the know, 'Y.M.C.A.' was a coded celebration of cruising hot guys at a public gym. Merely to the rest—dancing along to the chorus at weddings, beach resorts and sports events around the world—it's just a great excuse to shape your body into letters of the alphabet.
73. 'One, Two Step' by Ciara ft. Missy Elliott
Ciara and Missy Elliott team up for this old-school, 'Planet Stone'–inspired hip-hop melody that'due south perfect in its minimally produced simplicity. Its laser stabs and handclaps repeat the genre's electro origins without sounding like a history lesson. If only school were this much fun.
74. 'What I Like About Y'all' by the Romantics
Less a conventional dance smash than a fizzy flare-up of all-American garage stone straight out of the Motor City, 'What I Like About You lot' has the kind of no-brainer verse, sing-along chorus, bratty attitude and no-nonsense backbeat (courtesy of singing drummer Jimmy Marinos) that makes resistance futile.
75. 'Whip Information technology' by Devo
Akin to Poindexter and Booger throwing a better shindig than the jocks in Revenge of the Nerds, Devo whipped out a total, hot party on this classic synth boom from 1980. The video became an instant slice of popular-civilisation history as the band donned its trademark red energy domes and cofounder Marking Mothersbaugh snapped women'southward clothes off with a whip in a land reminiscent of the group's native Ohio. Take that, Ogre and Stan.
76. 'Directly Up' by Paula Abdul
Leave information technology to Abdul—a well-known choreographer before she began her singing career—to know what makes a perfect trip the light fantastic toe-party tune. Pulsating beat, cheque; funky bassline, check; earworm chorus, check and check. (Oh, oh, oh!)
77. 'Dearest Shack' past the B-52'due south
After a decade that saw the beehive-topped political party ring enshrined in the college-rock pantheon—and dealt the group a crippling accident with the expiry of beloved guitarist Ricky Wilson—the B-52s roared back to their career peak with this ode to a 'fiddling place where we can go together.' Tin can roof, rusted—what does it mean? Don't bother: This Chrysler'south as big every bit a whale and it's about to prepare canvass.
78. 'Don't You Want Me' by the Human League
The Human League's groundbreaking 1981 album 'Dare' helped usher in the historic period of electropop—and the rails nearly responsible for that paradigm shift was 'Don't You Want Me'. Only despite the song's obvious pleasures—its sauropod-size synth riffs and the chorus'southward devastatingly effective vocal claw among them—information technology's a bit strange that "Don't You lot Want Me" has become i of the world's most played party tunes: Lyrically, it'southward the rather depressing tale of a gal who's outgrown a guy, and a guy who implies (somewhat disturbingly) that something bad will happen if the gal doesn't come dorsum. Probably all-time to gloss over the lyrics and enjoy that enormous chorus.
79. 'Rio' by Duran Duran
The ring described itself as Chic meets the Sex Pistols, but its boisterous sound was all its ain: skittering pulsate beats, aqua-blue synth burbles and a galloping bassline courtesy of male monarch pinup John Taylor. Less a slice of '80s cheese than a functioning fourth dimension motorcar to that decade, this song will add together gel to your hair, shades to your eyes and a sandy beach beneath your feet.
80. 'Tell It to My Centre' by Taylor Dayne
The Long Island native born Leslie Wunderman sounds positively voracious on her 1987 signature hit. Few dance-popular classics feel more urgent or trigger-happy than 'Tell It to My Heart'; you lot tin can run into that Dayne's been waiting her whole life to belt out lines like 'Torso to body / Soul to soul / Always experience you near.' The lyrics might read like bad student poetry, but alloy them with unabashedly hammy '80s synths and a so-passionate-information technology'due south-a-little-scary commitment, and the result is a sonic Roman candle, blasting fireballs of fun onto the dance floor.
81. 'Eye of Glass' by Blondie
"'Heart of Drinking glass' was one of the get-go songs Blondie wrote," Debbie Harry has been quoted as saying, "simply it was years before we recorded it properly. We'd tried it every bit a ballad, equally reggae, only it never quite worked." As a machine-tooled disco ode to lost dearest, featuring crystalline synths, a throbbing rhythm department and, floating above information technology all, Harry'southward icy-cool teen-dream vocals, the 1978 cutting more than worked—it slayed. And it still does.
82. 'Terminal Nite' by the Strokes
They may accept thrown us off the scent with their greaseballs-in-leather-jackets shtick, but ane of the Strokes' greatest achievements was reminding the world that stone & ringlet originally functioned as trip the light fantastic music. Few contemporary songs make us yearn for the days of the sock hop more than the single that catapulted these hometown faves into the big time. Nitpick re: the 'American Daughter' similarities all yous want, but the combination of Julian's disaffected yowl, Albert and Nick's chirpy chords, Nikolai's humble throb and Fab'due south unflappable bounciness even so carries a rare boot-scootin' charge.
83. 'Tainted Love' by Soft Cell
Early '80s synth-pop rules – fact. Soft Cell, a U.K. duo comprising vocaliser Marc Almond and beatsmith Dave Ball, besides rule – check out their greatest hits on Spotify for proof. 'Tainted Love', their indelible update of an one-time Gloria Jones tune, all the same slaps more than 40 years afterwards it was released – fact. Altogether now: 'Take my tears and that's not near aaaaaalll.'
84. 'Take Me Out' by Franz Ferdinand
The stomping drumbeats and angular guitars of Franz Ferdinand's get-go hit drew comparisons to postpunk forebears like Gang of Four or Wire. But the Scottish revivalists accept a much poppier sensibility, and this 2004 track is a hook-laden toe tapper, sure to entice even your snootiest 'I don't trip the light fantastic toe' friend onto the dance floor.
85. 'Song ii' by Blur
Britpop'southward foremost ambassadors inverse their tune—quite literally—with their self-titled 1997 LP, embracing the crunchy guitars and lo-fi ethos of American grunge and indie stone that frontman Damon Albarn had once railed against. Unsurprisingly, information technology led to the band's biggest U.Due south. hit: 'Song two', a catchy, ii-minute blast of Nirvana-esque riffs that became ubiquitous at stadiums and parties beyond the globe. (But delight, don't refer to it equally 'the woo-hoo song', we beg of y'all.)
86. 'Dancing in the Dark' by Bruce Springsteen
The only thing better than watching the video to this 1984 anthem—yep, starring a very dewy Courteney Cox—is dancing to the song yourself, equally you belt out the lyrics with all the passion you can muster: 'I ain't nothin' but tired / Man, I'k but tired and bored with myself!' 'Dancing in the Dark' is also one of the Boss's sexiest moments. 'Hey there babe,' he sighs. "I could use only a fiddling help." Actress points to anyone who knows what that volume is that Springsteen'southward sittin' effectually trying to write.
87. 'Modernistic Love' by David Bowie
Before Nile Rodgers was bopping around with Daft Punk on 'Become Lucky', he was co-producing this gem from David Bowie's 1983 album 'Allow's Dance'. At that place'south a serious propulsion to this vocal, which makes it one of Bowie'southward most undeniable crowd-pleasers. The corking mean opens the tune with a iconic spoken-give-and-take chip before hitting his unmistakable high notes and singing of the concept at hand: 'Terrifies me / Makes me party / Puts my trust in God and man.' Well said, David, well said.
88. 'Girls Just Want To Accept Fun' past Cyndi Lauper
Weirdly enough, 'Girls Just Want to Accept Fun' was originally written by a dude, Robert Hazard, and sung from the perspective of a girl-crazy badboy. Cyndi Lauper revised the lyrics and re-recorded the song in 1983, inverting it into a daughter-solidarity political party anthem that remains timeless some 30 years later.
89. 'Fell in Honey with a Girl' past the White Stripes
Jack and Meg White's 2002 striking was the kickoff indicator that the Stripes were capable of a more polished, radio-friendly version of the raw garage-punk they'd previously perfected. (The ridiculously cool, LEGO-filled video, directed by Michel Gondry, surely helped propel its popularity.) Put this on at a party now and watch as everyone around you immediately begins to pogo.
90. 'Smells Similar Teen Spirit' by Nirvana
The song that divers an era makes most statements about it seem trite. Those echoing opening chords became equally familiar to the MTV generation every bit Pogs and Hypercolor—with a tad more shelf life. As far as partying goes, what's in a proper noun? 'Teen Spirit' is all about anger and angst. (Kurt Cobain was just 24 at the time of the song'southward release; he had a pretty good grasp on youthful malaise.) When you pop this 1 on at a fustigate, accept a cue from the bros in the video'due south gym audience: Blindside your head.
91. 'Don't Commencement Now' by Dua Lipa
Dua Lipa claimed a space on the pop A-list with her superb 2020 album 'Future Nostalgia', a stylish collection of bangers that lived upwards to its elastic title concept. 'Don't Start Now', the anthology's lead unmarried, is a defiant breakdown song par excellence: all sass, attitude, and the irresistible sound of your confidence re-building. If it doesn't tempt your virtually reluctant friend onto the dancefloor, nothing will.
92. 'Happy' by Pharrell
Know what's and then bully virtually this song? The fact that information technology's dedicated to simply beingness happy—it'due south not about finding bliss because of a specific reason—though, hey, if you but got the job, kissed the girl, canoed the Hudson, whatever, and then that'south awesome. Pharrell is jubilant joy for the sake of joy on this 2013 global chartbuster. 'Handclapping along if you feel like happiness is the truth,' he croons in a way that makes doing anything else seem completely ridiculous. Then get ahead. Shake what yous got. Turn that frown upside down. And relish every delicious move you lot make on the dance floor.
93. 'Blinding Lights' by The Weeknd
Too many '80s-inspired songs fall into the trap of sounding like a weak pastiche. This euphoric 2019 effort from The Weeknd is very much an exception to the rule.Co-written with Swedish songwriting genius Max Martin, its synthy shimmer manages to feel retro and contemporary at the same fourth dimension – a tricky sweet spot to it. Ed Sheeran, who dominated 2021 with his own '80s-inspired bop 'Bad Habits,' was definitely paying attention.
94. 'Stone the Casbah' by the Clash
This funky hit from the Clash's 'Combat Stone' LP was an anomaly—honestly, the erstwhile punk godfathers had pumped out an even more than propulsive bassline for 'The Magnificent Seven' on its previous anthology, 'Sandinista!…' simply nobody heard that sprawling three-LP farrago, whereas 'Rock the Casbah', with its whiff of topical exotica, was inescapable cheers to MTV.
95. 'Super Freak' past Rick James
What is a party if non an excuse to unleash your inner freak? Rick James'southward 1981 hit won't simply get people on the dance flooring; it volition take them bouncing off the walls. With one of the catchiest basslines of all fourth dimension, an irresistible vocal hook ('She's a very freaky daughter') and killer backup vocals from the Temptations, "Super Freak" will have the entire party on the basis trying to break-dance in no time.
96. 'All Night Long' by Lionel Richie
The Commodores singer with the voice every bit smooth as an eel in oil released 'All Night Long' in 1983, and information technology withal sounds perfectly well-baked. Lookout Richie's face light up in the video every bit he sings, 'Fiesta, forever', and you'll know exactly what to exercise. He's known for beingness i of the nicest men in pop, and on this vocal his natural warmth and effervescence are utterly infectious.
97. 'Got to Give Information technology Upwards' by Marvin Gaye
A boisterous, presumably bell-bottomed oversupply, gyrating on the dance floor of your imagination, tin can exist heard high in the mix. Have their whoops as your cue: Marvin Gaye supplies the cool falsetto and someone can be heard rocking the cowbell, but the prime directive here is to dance. When Paul Thomas Anderson needed a properties for Dirk Diggler's celebrity days in Boogie Nights, this is what he chose.
98. 'Pon De Flooring' by Major Lazer
When 'Pon De Flooring' first dropped, Major Lazer still consisted of both Diplo and Switch—the latter dance-commander compatriot before long dipped out to focus on his solo stylings. On his own, Diplo's done pretty well (in 2015, Spotify announced 'Lean On' every bit its most played rails ever) but the newly pop-ified bent he's taken with the projection just can't match its dancehall-centered, dance-flooring-shattering origins.
99. 'Lifestyle' by Rich Gang
Despite being a rambunctious party tune, Rich Gang's celebratory ode to well-earned fame ('I did a lot of shit merely to live this here lifestyle') coasts forth lightly on a sparse beat out of relaxed piano chords and sub-bass. The collected cool of it all even so—and even if you've made piffling headway deciphering the actual lyrics to Thugger's grumble-rap chorus—it's difficult to resist screaming along when y'all're wasted.
100. 'Maneater' by Hall & Oates
A No. 1 hit in 1982 for the genre-angle Philadelphia 'rock & soul' duo Hall & Oates, 'Maneater' offers a alarm against a predatory femme fatale, set against a vaguely new wave and faintly ominous landscape of saxophone, drums and synthesizer. (The music video features multiple shots of a jaguar on the cruise.) Put the song on a party mix and there's a good chance that at least one person in attendance will showtime vamping it up like they're on RuPaul's Drag Race.
