Remember old school music...the stuff your 13th disco party was made of complete with cool black bag material covering the dark unseen crevices of the garage, the large colourful black and pink sign screaming a glittering happy birthday to you (like the guests had no clue whose party they were at...well... that wouldn't be a first actually)...the robot disco lights blinking to the beat and the deejay i.e. your dad/ mom and sister playing the sickest tunes of the 90s!
My colleagues and I decided to take a trip down memory lane yesterday and downloaded all the life-changing, necessary growing up songs that we could guilt our disco grooving feet into! Check out some of these winners:
All that she wants - Ace of Base
I saw the sign - Ace of Base
Marky Mark - Good Vibrations
Pump up the jam - Technotronics
Acky Breaky Heart - Billy Ray Cyrus (a sorry excuse for country)
Macarena - Los Del Rio (this actually is still a lot of fun and had *Plaas Boy grooving away a la Paarl style in the office)
Mm'Bop - Hanson (*this song scared the bejaysus out of my ears*)
No limit - 2 Unlimited (*we actually nearly broke our necks trying to go along with the beat*...must be getting old!)
Saturday Night - Whigfield (*still sucks*)
Sexy Eyes - Whigfield (*still sucks*)
I'll make love to you - Boyz II Men (*wtf...shut up*)
I swear - All 4 One (*the stuff made for slow dancing...remember those*)
Can't touch this - MC Hammer (*still a winner according to Andre Visagie and the etv studio*)
Slave to the music - Twenty 4 Seven
Wannabe - Spice Girls (*pass*)
Backstreet Boys - I want it that way
Black and White - Michael Jackson
Wicked Game - Chris Isaaks (*what a great song...always a winner*)
Barbie Girl - Aqua (*bubblegum witkak*)
Lemon Tree - Fool's Garden
To the moon and back - Savage Garden
And a little bit of the older vibe that you can't go wrong with...
Club Tropicana - Wham
Don't you forget about me - Simple Minds (*probably one of the best songs of all time...and movies*...Breakfast Club is THE cult movie*)
Ma Baker - Boney M
Thriller - The King of Pop
Material Girl - Madonna
Funkytown - Lipps Inc.
Ride Like The Wind - Cristopher Cross
Jessie's Girl - Rick Springfield
Any tunes that you hold dear to your heart and still can't live without...remind me, I'm sure it'll be cringeworthy stuff!!!
Over and out y'all!

ReplyDeleteAnyways also going through a old school reunion. Found some CD in my dad cupboard with the best all time hits on it.
Might be a little old for you but stuff like:
Spin Doctors - Two Princes
Joan Osborne - Bad reputation
Crash Test Dummies - Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Louis Armstrong - What A Wonderful World
ABBA - Waterloo
Ben King - Stand by me
...just a few I know of hand now. Busy listening to the CD's in the car atm.
Have fun in sunny London!
Lol...I love that CTD song...Dumb and Dumber :) Love all those songs and not too old!
ReplyDeleteUK Pass is handy indeed but not like I enjoy using it and I certainly don't claim to be linked to Mud Island...don't dig it! It will come in handy when I go to Aus later on in the year though :)
Enjoy the tunes and say hi to the lady :)
