Party
ItÂs night time in the big city
A woman cuts pictures of places sheÂll never visit out of a magazine
I wonder if thereÂs any cake left.
Words for parties and partying
Banquets and bashes
Benders and binges
Carousels and Crushers
Feasts and galas
Get-togethers
Hoedowns
Hops
Hullabaloos
Jags and jigs
Carousing
Cavorting
Celebrating
Commemorating
Drinking
Getting down
Grooving
Hanging loose
Having fun
Letting down our hair
Making merry
Painting the town red
Raising the roof
Rejoicing
Reveling
And whooping it up
ÂLetÂs get this party started!Â
The Singers and The Songs
The Showstoppers  AinÂt Nothin But A House Party ÂI love records like this one where they use the baritone sax to drive the bass along. ItÂs a sound you never get sick of.Â
Wanda Jackson  LetÂs Have A Party ÂElvis recorded this record before Wanda did, but you can give me WandaÂs version any dayÂ
You know, itÂs almost criminal that she isnÂt in the rock and roll hall of fame. I mean you just heard that record.Â
Jesse Allen  LetÂs Party ÂHe was a guy I donÂt know a lot about. I know heÂs from New Orleans. I like the way he sings; love the way he plays guitar. And other than that, I donÂt know anything.
Don and Dewey  Baby Gotta Party ÂHereÂs a wild record, two twin bundles of TNT.Â
Lesley Gore  ItÂs My Party
Buddy Knox  Party Doll
Smiley Lewis  CaledoniaÂs Party
The Enchanters  I Paid For The Party
Claudine Clark  Party Lights ÂItÂs a shame this was her only hit but if you have only one itÂs a good thing it sounds like Party Lights.Â
Al Johnson  Carnival Time
Louis Jordan & His Tympany 5 Â House Party ÂHe had 57 R & B chart hits and many more that are less known, but they still rock with a steady roll.Â
Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton  The Party ÂOne of those melodramatic life lessons that country music is so full ofÂ
Lord Beginner  After the Bacchanal
Elvis Costello & the Attractions  Party Girl

ÂWell, thatÂs it for us this week. I gotta go fish the cigarette butts out of the sink, sweep up the broken glass, call the carpet cleaners, and I got to figure out who that is sleeping on my couch. While IÂm gonna do all that, you do what you got to do and weÂll meet up here again next week for an all new theme on TTRH. Party on dude!Â
