Submitted by on

Hey there everybody! It's Tuesday night so it's that time again - time to leave all the bad news and politics behind us and instead focus on escaping into our favorite songs.

Well, the Democratic National Convention is going on, so it's a party by a party, so I figured that was a good enough reason to party!

Tonight's theme is songs about parties. They can be songs about parties (any kind) or types of parties, or things you do at parties. It can be songs from albums with titles that refer to parties or related terms or by artists with names that are party related.

So what are your favorite songs about parties?

Come down below for a few of mine!

Also, one quick note: In an effort to try to cut the upload time, if you can remember, when you go to embed in the comments, you can change the size to a smaller one, like 350 width. Maybe this will help. If it doesn't, back to the drawing board. And no worries if you don't want to or don't remember - no big! :D

It's My Party and I'll Cry If I Want To:

(You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party):

Gypsies in the Palace:

Party Crowd:

Sly and the Family Stone

Not as pointed as I would like, but the second song fits in with my current feelings about "party"

" Don't call me nigger, whitey. Don't call me whitey, nigger."

I don't care about the cheesy set-up. They're pretty good. And I like 'em.

Smart things Washington said about parties

I have already intimated to you the danger of parties in the State, with particular reference to the founding of them on geographical discriminations. Let me now take a more comprehensive view, and warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the spirit of party generally.

This spirit, unfortunately, is inseparable from our nature, having its root in the strongest passions of the human mind. It exists under different shapes in all governments, more or less stifled, controlled, or repressed; but, in those of the popular form, it is seen in its greatest rankness, and is truly their worst enemy.

The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries which result gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of public liberty.

Without looking forward to an extremity of this kind (which nevertheless ought not to be entirely out of sight), the common and continual mischiefs of the spirit of party are sufficient to make it the interest and duty of a wise people to discourage and restrain it.
