At first I thought this couldn’t be real, but apparently, it is: before there was Kidz Bop, the mysterious 1980’s produced a party record of musak versions of lame, silly songs to get your extremely lame party started. Remember the guy who wouldn’t dance? He’s your dad:
Hahaha, “The Bird Dance” — because “The Chicken Dance” was too avant garde and copyrighted and super cool. If Google’s list of weird file sharing sites with track listings from this album are to be trusted, this was a very real thing that existed, though it’s hard to believe these records weren’t just secretly filled with cocaine. (Thanks for the tip, Amanda!)

simple simon says? let’s just assume that the idea for simple jack from dance dance. most logical conclusion ever, i think.
say what you will, but those people seem to be legitimately having the time of their lives.
If I could play “Simple Simon Says” for every person on Earth, I think we would eradicate sadness from the planet. Poverty would still remain, though. Abject cultural poverty.
Dancing only goes so far.
? It’s the 80s! Do a lot of coke and vote for Ronald Regan! ?
MST3k ftw
yeah, it’s the best thing to happen to parties. since rohipnol.
I’ve just done a quick search on eBay and I can’t find a single copy of it for sale. This says to me that this LP is so brilliant that either nobody wants to get rid of their copy or every copy has been played till they just won’t play no more!!!
I would totally dance to this album.
That’s the soundtrack of your wedding
you got to start a party with a sledgehammer
In the context of a tacky television advertisement, this is the worst.
But if i could get everyone in a room to do that Hands Up dance or even The Chicken Dance, i would feel like i just hosted the best damn party ever.
I love that their box says quality Party Party. Because all the other Party Party albums are cheap and tacky.
If this album sold any copies I attribute it to the fact that the CD is sitting in a giant mound of cocaine.
