You could be the unfortunate designated driver with a bunch of half pissed mates, or sharing make-up secrets with your bestie, but whatever you are doing before a big night, there’s always bound to be a track or two booming in the background to get you into the mood of things.
Without further ado, here’s a list of tunes that are bound to keep you feeling pumped for the big night ahead.
5. ‘Kernkraft 400′ by Zombie Nation
Often mistakenly known as ‘Zombie Nation’ by party goers, this classic techno anthem is more than ten years old but is still played and used nowadays as a popular sports chant. The song’s instantly recognisable hook samples a chiptune from the 1984 video game Lazy Jones-and will have you and your mates in chanting and grooving to the deep bass line in no time. A must on your playlist or car stereo.
4. ‘Let’s Get It Started’ by The Black Eyed Peas
This Grammy-Award winning song was originally known as ‘Let’s Get Retarded’ but was later changed due to political correctness. Nevertheless, whichever version you have, its theme is clearly expressed with a funky and powerful melody, innovative and vivid lyricism, and Fergie’s impressive backing vocals. Whether or not you are a fan of The Black Eyed Peas, this will have your body compelled to move right from the intro.
3. ‘Jump Around’ by House of Pain
A hit from the days when hip-hop was hip-hop and not some hybrid of vocal house and pop like it is today. Used in countless of films such as Mrs Doubtfire and Happy Gilmore, this song is the epiphany of hyping up a big night. With its either lovable or loath able horn fanfare, and incredible chorus, it’ll have you jumping around, literally, on your bed, or mate’s car’s backseat, as the dawn of the night looms ahead.
2. ‘Party Rock Anthem’ by LMFAO featuring Lauren Bennett & GoonRock
Overkilled by the radio and television networks-and famous for putting the Melbourne Shuffle back onto the dance floor-this catchy electro-pop tune was certified platinum 12 times in Australia, and stayed number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for 6 weeks. Combining a driving formula of a heavy bass track and quirky rhymes, this is the song that not only is going to pump your blood full of excitement-but it’s definitely going to have you shuffling every time you play it.
1. ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ by Queen
This countdown wouldn’t have been complete with at least one rock song-and what a rock song it is. Immortalised by the film Wayne’s World, this 1975 masterpiece is compromised of a ballad, an opera and hard rock segments making it one amazing song to take in the big night, before it’s started. Whether or not you are a fan or Queen-or music from this era-this is without a doubt a song that can make anybody bang their heads and sing along to, terribly, as well as fill you up with an enormous sense of joy. Sheer brilliance.
