God loves a cheerful giver.
Lies in Disguise -- Electro411 Remix
Britney Spears - Toxic (pleeeease, it's my friend's birthday)
Mystery Jets - Hide away (switch remix)
eddie huntington
Heart - Barracuda (sooooo good!)
who can it be now - men at work
reacquaint yourself and if you haven't seen the video you should. the end.
CAN's "I Want More" or anything by A Certain Ratio. Uh, also, I hate to be that guy, but it's Pat Mahoney, not Mohoney.
"Wall Street" by Jackie Mitoo
Yeah - Erik is too busy to fix the flyer and add the new names, but we still like it.
Primary 1 - Hold Me Down (Foamo Remix)
"Party All The Time" by Eddie Murphy
Or anything by Huey Lewis
I'm down for a little bliss.
corrections:
men at work - overkill
britney - break the ice
mine:
lionel ritche - you are
wilson phillips - hold on
peter gabriel - sledgehammer
remixed, of course
if you can't find any, make your own
why remix perfectly good songs? that is the problem with 2008.
That jackie mitoo and can requests are winning IMO right now
Lo-Fi-Fnk - Adore
Chaka Khan - I Feel for You
!!! - Must Be the Moom
remixes were a joke for precisely that reason
Michael Jackson - Pretty Young Thing
Jamie Lidell - Hurricane
LCD... - Tribulations
Fugazi - Turnover
Battles - Atlas
Some Massive Attack, !!!, Barry White, Al Green, Hot Chip, blisspop.
I second "Barracuda".
even better, "Magic Man"
These are joke requests, right?
Taking the Can request to the next degree hows about some Moonshake? "Sweetheart" or "Exotic Siren Song" will do. No tix - I just want someone to play Moonshake. I am easy that way.
Can clears the floor. Trust me, I've tried. This isn't We Fought The Big One. Also, here is a mix I posted a while back with !!!'s Must Be The Moon:

which also never goes over well. I don't think the ladies like dancing to !!!.
@Michael
I don't joke about Heart, bro
@John
wow ... Moonshake, talk about no jokin.
i can't go for that. hall & fuckin oates.
must be the money. neon deion sanders
Just go with "Blister In The Sun" and be done with it... or any other Violent Femmes song or, better yet, really terrible covers of Violent Femmes songs.
gui boratto- beautiful life
mammoth by interpol, surprisingly good remixed, or anything by nine inch nails!
I love Battles by Atlas, but I can't picture it on the dance floor. Listen to it on a very nice pair of headphones (or nicer-than-most anyway--I have Sennheiser 555s) for a wonderful bit of auditory brain massaging.
I can't believe I have to miss this for a wedding. Stupid friends...
H&FO always, gotta love the yacht rock
speaking of which, when is your party next weekend Fritz?
corrections yet again:
Interpol - Evil
Heart - If Looks Could Kill
Personally, I like listening to my 7506's. I can really feel the extended frequency response in that 10-15hz area that the 555's just don't have.
and a Kanye jam that hardly sees enough rotation:
Flashing Lights
TICKETS PLZ K THNX
Uhm... ok let's see.
Klaxons - Atlantis to Interzone
Justice - D.A.N.C.E
Mystikal - Shake It Fast
:]
Kanye- Flashing Lights
This is easy. Starship - "We Built This City"
2 Skinnee J's - The Whammy! (or anything by them, really)
Queen - "Don't Stop Me Now"
Can? A Certain Ratio? Moonshake? Really?
Cale's got you there, you got lost on your way to the WFTBO website. I mean, "Shack Up" could work, and if anyone can make Starship and Lionel Richie fans dance to ACR, it's Will.
PS Nice use of the Can/Moonshake transition. Clever. If you haven't heard it, pick up Moonshake's First EP on Creation. "Coward" and "Gravity" are head-and-shoulders better than anything they did after.
Let's make a list of other bands that directly reference Can, I'll start:
The band Moonshake named after the Can song
The band Spoon named after the Can song
The song I am Damo Suzuki by The Fall
The song Dear Can by !!!
The song Losing My Edge by LCD Soundsystem
Speaking of Can, I think we should bring back the word can as slang to refer to shapely asses (not that there are many of those in DC, at all).
And again: unpanty-line your cans, ladies. It's unsightly.
Dahhh you got almost all the references I came up with. The Mooney Suzuki is named after CAN's first two lead singers, though (Malcolm Mooney and Damo Suzuki).
i second Starship and Queen
anytime
Mooney Suzuki! Duh.
A couple others I found on the internets:
The electronic band Egebamyasi, formed by Scottish musician Mr Egg in 1984, after Can's album Ege Bamyasi
Hunters & Collectors after a song on the Landed album
Kanye West has sampled "Sing Swan Song" on his song "Drunk & Hot Girls" from his 2007 album "Graduation"
The U.K. band Loop was deeply influenced by Can for their repetitive polyrhythmic style, covering Can's "Mother Sky" on their Fade Out album.
