Party Music - Obscure 80's
I'm looking for suggestions for some quite obscure yet danceable songs to play at an upcoming party... it's this weekend so i've left it a bit late I suppose, but any suggestions are very welcome.
The only songs I can think of that reflect what I mean at the moment are: For America - Red Box Don't Talk To Me About Love - Altered Images Give It Up - Evelyn King Empire State Human - Human League Computer Games - Mi-Sex One Night in Bangkok - Murray Head Cheers in advance. |

What I Got Is What You Need ~ Unique
Do It To The Music ~ Raw Silk Mind Up Tonight ~ Melba Moore Very danceable and quite obscure. Last edited by Jimmy Connors : 27-02-2007 at 15:34. |
