With New Years around the corner, parties and dancing and all that fun stuff is on the agenda. Today, I'm going to unofficially DJ your party/gathering/dancing alone in your room.
This is The Party Zone - A soundtrack sold in the early/mid 90s featuring pop, dance-pop and eurodance songs. If you are old enough to remember the "NOW" or "Kidz Bop" music compilations from the 2000s, this is pretty much the same, except better music. At least to me.

This commercial always aired during USA Network's "Up All Night" show and the mixture of sleazy, neon B-movies and sugary sweet dance music was everything 9-year old me wanted in his life. It was a world I was way too young for, but a world I wanted to be a part of no less. Times change and I never got to experience that level of sleazy living in my adult years, but I have the music so I can pretend I did. Here's the best hits from The Party Zone.
Teena Marie - "Lovergirl"
New Kids On The Block - "You Got It (The Right Stuff)"
Technotronic ft. Ya Kid K - "Move This"
Ready for the World - "Oh Sheila"
SNAP! - "Rhythm is a Dancer"
Wham! - "I'm Your Man"
The Jets - "Crush on You"
Greg Kihn Band - "Jeopardy"
Culture Club - "I'll Tumble 4 Ya"
Hope you young'ns dig these grown folk jams and I hope you grown folks listen and get a smile on your face.

On this day in 1981, The Greg Kihn Band single “The Breakup Song (They Don’t Write ‘Em)” debuted on the US Billboard Hot 100 at #88 (May 23)
It was the first hit for The Greg Kihn Band, and their biggest until they scored with "Jeopardy" in 1983.
The song from the album “RocKihnRoll” peaked at #14 in Australia and #15 on the US Billboard Hot 100.
The Greg Kihn Band are still playing to this day, 23 albums later, and he’s right......they don’t write like that anymore....

Afternoon Vinyl - 05032024
PROSE Sometimes quirkiness or downright goofiness is a necessity. To be breathe in the air of lunacy can be liberating. We mustn’t forget this as we struggle to stay above the churn.

A-T-3 134 The Greg Kihn Band - Jeopardy
I don't care it if was kept off the number one spot by Beat It, or like Beat It Weird Al Yankovic spoofed it, Larry Levan played it at the Paradise Garage so I'm listening. There only single to chart in the UK, cheap and easy to pick up, and if you're a dj it can knock dancers out of their robotic trance and liven up a boring set of records that all sound too similar

Please listen to both songs before you vote!
"Jeopardy"
youtube
"I Lost on Jeopardy"
Fun fact: Not only does Weird Al's video feature the real Art Fleming and Don Pardo (the host and announcer of the original Jeopardy TV show), but it also features Greg Kihn (from the original song that Al's song is a parody of!) driving away in a car, referencing the end of his own music video.

The greg kihn band/ The break up song 🕺🎶
youtube
lyrics:
writings / compose:Gary Phillips / Gregory Kihn / Steve Wright
We had broken up for good just an hour before
Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh
Now I'm staring at the bodies as there's dancin' 'cross the floor
Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh
And then the band slowed the tempo and the music gets me down
Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh
It was the same old song with the melancholy sound
Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh
They don't write 'em like that anymore
They just don't write 'em like that anymore
We'd been living together for a million years
Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh
But now it feel so strange (out in the atmospheres?)
Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh
And then the jukebox plays a song I used to know
Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh
Now I'm staring at the bodies as they dancin' so slow
Uh uh uh. uh uh uh uh uh
They don't write 'em like that anymore
They just don't write 'em like that anymore
Now I wind up staring at an empty glass
Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh
Cause its so easy to say that you'll forget your past
Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh
They don't write 'em like that anymore, no!
They just don't write 'em like that anymore
They don't write 'em like that anymore
They just don't write 'em like that anymore
