Can’t wait! My request is C’mon Eileen – party like it’s 1989!
Oh, Beth. You must be a real young ‘un. 1989? I remember that song being out in 1983. The music trivia geek in me also remembers that it was Number 1 in the US for one week, knocking off Billie Jean and being replaced the next week by Beat It…
I bet you don’t even know that KISS sang a song about you
I’m ready to party like it’s 1995 again. That meant Hootie and Dave Matthews, but for pure dance-ability, I’d request Tootsee Roll, This Is How We Do It and of course, Madonna never goes out of style. Can’t wait to see everybody dressed up tomorrow!
Top of the list is the obligatory Pretty in Pink favorite:
If you Leave- Orchestral Manoeuvers in the Dark- 1986!

U can’t touch this- MC hammer -1990

More Prince More Prince More Prince! When Doves Cry and Kiss, for sure.
Some dancy Elton John, like Crocodile Rock.
