Help me make a mix tape

[peapod1980]

Going to a friend's 40th birthday party tomorrow night. No gifts allowed unless they are homemade. I was thinking a 40th birthday-themed mix tape. I have a few songs so far, but I need suggestions! Couple of ideas I have: "Get the Party Started" by Pink and "You've Got the Look" by Prince. Your turn.

Stir It Up - Bob Marley and the Wailers

Hey Pea think of songs from when the birthday guy/gull was in high school..so that would be 1981-1985. You could probably research this on the net and find just the right songs, grayt idea by the way!!

Cindy Lauper, Chaka Khan, Three 6 Mafia

Lily Allen - "Friday Night"

The message of this song is pretty much, "Let's have another drink and beat the crap the totally stuck-up girl across the bar."

But, geez, it's so catchy.

Also: Frou Frou - "Holding out for a Hero"

Is there a theme? Or just great party music?

Sorry. I just re-read your post. It's a 40th bd theme.

Ooooh, good one, and I won't have to pay 99 cents for it since I own it already. ^5!

Yeah, I can look up the Top 100 charts, good idea. Mr. Pod suggested putting a song in there from the year she was born.

Cindy Lauper, Chaka Khan, Three 6 Mafia

Cindy Lauper, definitely. "Girls Just Want to Have Fun," and maybe some more 80s standards.

Lily Allen - "Friday Night"

Lily Allen cracks me up, PV! Love her and her attitude. I'll check out "Hero," can you believe I haven't heard that? Sorry, Immy.
Thanks, guys! Keep 'em coming!

When I think of music from the mid-80's I think of Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, etc.
