High Fidelity 0 Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Do you have any tracks that you'd like to try playing, thinking they might go down well, but have never had the courage to try them. Two tracks that I'm fairly sure would go down well at the right time are: Bucks Fizz - Making Your Mind Up & Gina G - Ooh Aah Just A Little Bit But somehow, the right time never seems to appear to give them a go. Another one was Nena - 99 Red Balloons, but somebody requested it once, so I've now managed to play that one. How abut you?

robbiedj 0 Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 I play all three, Paul. With the right crowd they go well. And I've played the "studio" version of The Beautiful South, Kevin Wilson and other studio versions for Stag nights. :ads: You want me to play what?

mick 0 Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 I played the Gina G track a few weeks ago at an autumn ball and it worked well with the crowd. I have loads of tracks that I know would go well but never seem to get around to playing them. I have a rule that we always play at least one completely different old track at my regular venue and sample the reaction - Good choice there although 99 red balloons has an erratic tempo and is strange to dance to.

Bucks Fizz - Is reasonably popular, mainly at weddigs and I play it after chubby checker. Gina G is more popular than Bucks Fizz - as it's mid 90's the younger crowd know it. Nena - is sometimes requested. If so, then I play it. I think of a lot of tunes and have the same dilema. Do I play it or not? Sometimes it comes off and the florr fills and sometimes it's a killer. I do like to try something a bit different so I would say on a whole I tend to try a different track or two at each function, but possibly not at peak times. On a serious note Sunshine after the rain - Berri a fine track, which works well in a 90's style set. Link to post Share on other sites
rictic 0 Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Good question! Without You - Nilsson Don't Marry Her (Naughty Version!) - Beautiful South Forever Autumn - Justin Haywood Smack My Bitch Up - The Prodigy Strokin' - Clarence Carter i have played strokin more than once, great tune. i just slip it in (forgive the pun) and i reckon its cleaner than a lot of r n b type stuff nowadays anyway. listen to some of millie jacksons rude stuff too, real near the knuckle. <a href="http://www.djassociates.org"><img src="http://www.djassociates.org/anims/compres_banner.gif" alt="Join the DJ Associates Disc Jockey Association" border="0" width="468" height="60"></a> Link to post Share on other sites
Supradave 0 Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 My songs would be:- Rocks - Primal Scream Rock and Roll - Led Zepplin I am sure with the right crowd the sonds would work well but as the original poster states I have just never found the right crowd. With regards to Gina G it is quite a regular one to play for me. I find it goes quite well with Tiffany (I think were alone now). Link to post Share on other sites

Corabar Steve 0 Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 I got asked for Love - "Alone again or" last night, I wouldn't normally consider it as part of a gig (even though I love the song), but I took the plunge anyway for some reason.
