Quite possibly the best party game ever is my fave

January 27, 2009

Is anyone else hating winter already and searching for something fun to do? I have the answer. It’s called throw a casual party and play the best game ever invented by Melanie then laugh your pants off.

The Details:

Invites- keep it casual, just evite friends or call them on the phone

Food – Pop lots of popcorn and offer add-ins and flavorings. Set a stack of cups next to the big bowl so friends can just dig in and stock your cooler full of glass bottled soda (so you look semi-fancy).

Game – Load your i-Pod with all the best dance songs (or if you still have a boom box like me prepare an all mighty dance CD beforehand). Have each guest stand up one by one while you push the shuffle button on what ever technical option suits you. That person then has to come up with a dance to whatever song starts playing and has to keep dancing for at least a minute. This game has been tested and I can guarantee that your stomach will hurt from laughing so hard afterwards. If you want to add a competitive element to it you can incorporate judges. This is what your guests will look like


So the question remains, what are the best dance songs? And what song would you hope that it landed on for your turn? I would hope for Dr Jones by Aqua and cringe if it landed on anything by Smash Mouth.

    You are correct – this *is* the best game ever! I’d really want to dance to The Knux’s ‘Bang Bang’ and really want to avoid anything by Pearl Jam.

    Because that’s hard to dance to, yo!

    I clicked on the song you liked and Reagan said “oh this is a beautiful song.” Greg would like to get “Proud to be an american” and he would incorporate a lot of marching, playing the drums, and saluting the flag. I would like to get anything by cindy lauper.

    Ummm… that game sounds AWESOME.
    I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’ by Scissor Sisters and Boogie 2 Nite (Seamus Haji Big Love Mix) by Bootyluv. Yes, I know it may sounds silly, but that is my song and if you haven’t heard it before, you must. It’s gold. Solid gold.

    OOOOH, love this game! I would want Like A Prayer by Madonna b/c I already have an interpretive dance to that one. Or Push It by Salt n Pepa.

    Mel, we will do this for the family reunion. Sounds like fun times. I don’t think Ken or Jim may participate though.

    How would you possibly dance to Dr. Jones without Megan and I? That routine was developed for the NYH threesome!
