llcooljoe 0 Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 I've been making a note of many of your playlists because as much as I love music, what I like my not be what the audience like, and probably isn't. I just wondered how well the following songs go down. Shout To The Top - Style Council Happy Hour - The Housemartins Tell It To My Heart - Taylor Dane Reet Petite - Jackie Wilson Any of Bananarama's songs. Respectable - Mel & Kim Perfect - Fairground Attraction I Think I love You - The Partridge Family I know the age of the audience would be a big influence, but are any of them popular? I am whatever you say I am Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Smith 0 Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 The only one from that list I've played this year is Reet Petite if that helps Link to post Share on other sites
jamesmurphy 0 Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Played 'Reet Petite' & Bananaramas ' Venus' Link to post Share on other sites
JCarey 0 Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 I play Happy Hour and Reet Petite regular. Perfect is one I use at a pub I work in the odd time it's more of a sing-a-long gig so it works in that setting quiet well. John DJ John Carey Link to post Share on other sites
Secret Disco 0 Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Diffrent reactions for diffrent functions in diffrent areas i suppose. I havent played any of them for a long time. Link to post Share on other sites
KolaNut 0 Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Respectable is a great track, not sure how well it would go down though. Never played it as a DJ, whack it on the jukebox regularly though lol. Link to post Share on other sites

Happy hours - popular at an 80's night or during an 80's set Reet Petite- Popular at a general function (higher and higher is more popular) Bananarama - Venus or Love in the first degree Respectable - fine in an 80's set Perfect - I play it alot during buffet breaks Link to post Share on other sites
TonyB 0 Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Shout To The Top - Style Council - I would probably play early on while guests arriving but I've not played in the last 12 months Happy Hour - The Housemartins - Hmmm, can't think of a time I would play it and haven't in the past Tell It To My Heart - Taylor Dane - Merry girlies song only got the Kelly Llorenna version played once Reet Petite - Jackie Wilson - Would play as part of a cheesy/rock 'n roll set, played twice Any of Bananarama's songs - Venus, played 15 times, Help played 4 times usually part of late evening set Respectable - Mel & Kim - Haven't played in last 12 months and would probably only do if requested. Perfect - Fairground Attraction - Played 6 times. Was requested in a pre gig playlist for a 40th I done a couple of weeks ago. I Think I love You - The Partridge Family - Not played, don't have it on CD Link to post Share on other sites
Norfolk DJ 0 Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Happy Hour - The Housemartins - Hmmm, can't think of a time I would play it and haven't in the past I played it to death in 1986 when it was in the charts. I'm thinking of giving it a well deserved play again in the next couple of gigs. Link to post Share on other sites

robbiedj 0 Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Jackie Wilson at some functions, both Reet Petite & Higher & Higher. David Cassidy (aka Partridge Family) goes well with crowds who like Bay City Rollers etc. Bananarama - Venus, Na Na Na Na (Kiss Him Goodbye) & Love In The First Degree go well too. Depends on the crowd what I play. I just go with the flow and throw in what looks like a goer. You want me to play what?

Not often requested but fills the dance floor when played. Link to post Share on other sites
llcooljoe 0 Posted November 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Thanks for all your answers. I have much more idea what will be the kiss of death but what also may be ok in certain situations. Can I ask another question? I have the Stock Aiten and Waterman album Gold. Yeah, I'm not proud of it! On one of the cd's there are some really good remixes of Dead or Alive's "You Spin My Round" , Kylie's "Better The Devil You Know" and Ricky Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up". They are obviously a lot longer than the hit versions, but I think they are really good. Has anyone ever played them or is it a big mistake to play remixes? I am whatever you say I am Link to post Share on other sites

It would probably depend on the audience and their age, but if it's something like a 40th I'd be more happy sticking to the original, which people will remember well, something like "Never Gonna Give You Up" would have been quite big in 12" format anyway, so I'd probably play that, and if it went down well would probably mix it into Colonel Abrams "Trapped" Neil B Link to post Share on other sites
D.X 0 Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 Respectable - Mel & Kim Take or leave it, only please believe it. It ain't never gonna be respectable. Like it hate it, but you'll never change it. It ain't never gonna be respectable. Not really a wedding classic but would be ideal in some sort of 80's retro set ! Link to post Share on other sites

Well not in a disco kind of situation anyway, and especially with a pop song like that. I'm doing an 80's/90's Diva themed night and just feel the song could go down well.

Has anyone ever played them or is it a big mistake to play remixes? the 3 tracks mentioned are reasonably popular, but i play the actual full version rather than remixes. depends how far remixed these tracks are, otherwise stick them on early on and see what happens Rob Link to post Share on other sites
