Top 10 Obnoxious Party Songs

What do you do when you don't really like clubs (except in certain situations), but love getting drunk with your friends and acting like idiots? Have regular house parties, of course!

While I love pop punk, heavy shit, Irish folk songs etc, they're not always the right soundtrack to get a party going. I'm talking about a 'let's keep drinking all night, woooo!' kind of night, when everyone is feeling like they're in a rated R movie. Then you gotta break out the obnoxious party songs! Plus, I generally have a low tolerance to clubs, so big houseparties where I have some control over the music is best. Also, a lot of parties use the youtubes, so bonus points for songs that have videos.

Kesha - Blow (Cirkut Remix)

This is an ideal song to get the party started. Nearly everyone knows/has an opinion on Ke$ha so there's a common ground to go on and a nice introduction to the ridiculous dubstep that is to follow. I actually jam Ke$ha on the reg, which confuses/irriates some people, but I genuinely like her pop songs. No homo, no troll. Shout out to my internet homegirl Ashley for awaring me of this track!

Breathe Carolina - Blackout

I still remember first seeing this video on Scuzz and not knowing what the hell what was going on. They look scene as fuq, are playing instruments but...I want to dance? This jam is Serious! So catchy. I don't think this song ever got as big as it should have but I did hear it being played in my local Safeway when I was picking up groceries at like 5.30 and that made me lol.

Sam and the Womp - Bom Bom Bom

So hopefully by now, everyone is good and drunk, because this is the kind of song that can turn the party up a notch, or send everyone retreating to bed. It was number 1 in the UK so obviously some people like it, but you gotta judge the timing of this one. All going well the beat and infectious melody will whip your fun friends into a dance frenzy and seperate those who are there to party from those just looking to crash.

Dizzee Rascal - Bonkers

I love this song as it's got some funky dance beats going on for a little while before going full obnoxious club song. Dizzee can shite on about whatever he wants, but it's all about the build up to dat dirty bassline. If you have access to a strobe light, now would be a good time to use it. Have danced to this in an apartment kitchen in the early morning at least once.

Millionaires - Party Like A Millionaire

Another make or break moment in the playlist. This is the ultimate college girl 'finds herself' at a houseparty song. Imagine if Ke$ha had sleazier cousins that were fun to party with, but, you know, not at your house.. This is a sweet song though, I love sing-song rap and the chorus is so good it's annoying. At the very least people will be mildly offended by how obnoxious the song is! It's time to embrace the excess or go to bed.

Azelia Banks - 212

What an absolute banger! I heard this song on the way to work one day and spent the whole day thinking about getting drunk and playing it that night with my friends. It's the ultimate white person at a club song. Simple enough to dance to, explicit enough to feel like you're edgy/a gangsta and catchy enough to stick in your head.

Knife Party - Internet Friends

I was at a party once where a guy rolled his eyes when I played Skrillex, then proceded to play Knife Party. LOL. Oh yeah, cos the two dudes from Pendulum have so much more street cred than the dude from From First To Last... Anyway, this is a sweet choon though, and I actually think it's easiers for noobs to get into because of all the media references. This is the opening to play some dub/brostep. Just remember not to go full dubstep.

Skrillex - Bangarang!

Yo, fuck what dubstep nerds say, this shit is bananas. The concept of 'real' dubstep is ridonk, it's a dude programming on his laptop either way. But yeah, this goes hard. Shit gets heavy at times, there's a lot going on, but there are hooks too.


Celldweller - I See Stars Filth Friends Unite

This remix is RIDICULOUS. Celldweller takes a trancecore song and molds it into a metal-influenced eurotrance track that goes balistic when the dubstep drops around 35 seconds in. With the exception of one hiccup it all flows beautifully. And you and your crew can feel badass shouting 'I go looking for friends in the filthiest places' and then going mental.

LMFAO ft Lil John - Shots

If LMFAO aren't enough craic by themselves, there's also the most obnoxious man in the planet Lil John shouting at you to drink more! If people know this song, this could be an epic moment. If they don't know it, the party is probably done immediately. I like to think Lil John is a sweet, soft spoken man who drinks tea and honey when not in character.
