Suggestions for party function band

[BassAdder60]

Hey guys .. I’m starting up a new function party band with a lean towards rock and pop with a flavour of R & B and I need song suggestions for a mostly guitar based band with female vocals. 
 At present I have 

Zombie

You Oughta Know 

Weak

Take me Down

Hard to Handle 

Moves like Jagger 

Get Lucky 

Play that Funky Music

Long train running

Learn to fly 

Hot Stuff

Chasing cars 

Dakota

Sex on Fire 

 

Any suggestions for good songs to add for a mostly modern party setlist ?

Some Paramore maybe? Possibly Ain't it Fun (there's a bit of bass tomfoolery in this one) or maybe The Only Exception if you want to slow it down a bit

The tide is high,  always goes down well with punters 

[Reggaebass]

Maybe a few kool and the gang tracks, or the occasional Bob Marley song usually go down well

Love it that fits in perfectly

You neeeed a bit of Melissa Etheridge in there!

How about Cannonball by Breeders? A 90's classic often ignored by party bands.

[BadHands]

A couple of Pink songs could work.

[SteveXFR]

Stupid Girl by Garbage for a bit more 90's indie rock. 

Rock & Roll Queen by Subways would work well with a female singer.

[PaulThePlug]

Moloko...

Pleasure Seaker or Time is Now?

[Paul S]

With the disclaimer that I, personally, loathe and detest the song with a passion, 'Walking On Sunshine' is a sure-fire winner at the end of the night. 

 

Also 'Walk Like An Egyptian' as everybody feels the need to dance like an Egyptian when p!ssed.  Or even when sober..  Added bonus is a decent bassline. 

[Bunion]

Bit of oasis or blur never goes amiss 

[gjones]

Mustang Sally.....

 

You know you want to

Good call, Get The Party Started would be a great song to put in

[Crawford13]

Get as much Dua Lipa in the set as you can, definately Don't start now & levitate. 

 

I would also say Fireworks by Katy Perry, and Toxic by Britney Spears. 

 

I also agree with Pink, raise your glass is a great party band song. 

[Reggaebass]

I got a feeling- Black eyed peas 

[RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE]

Rivers of Babylon 

[yorks5stringer]

Bit of Taylor, this one's anthemic....

I loves it... Funky as!

Shame Katrina Wotsit did a p1ssp00r cover I couldn't even recognise...

That's probably the song I hate most from the last 20 years. I guess that means it'll be an ideal party song.

[Guest]

Toni Basil's Hey Mickey

I don’t think it’s so bad, but I’ve seen it go down well at parties 🙂

I forgot about Happy by Pharell Williams, that's far worse than I got a feeling. 

My idea of a great party tune would be Funeropolis by Electric Wizard

I have to agree with that Steve ☝️

Since You’ve Been Gone - Kelly Clarkson

 

I Think We’re Alone Now - Tiffany

 

And for a “serious” song:

Beautiful Dangerous - Slash/Fergie
