Greatest setlist to fill the dance floor with naughty sexytime?

Mo'Phat · #1 05-20-2009, 04:07 PM

I was perusing the Mustang Sally thread, and saw quite a bit of references to songs that absolutely, positively, get every last lady on the floor...and I had an epiphany. Fill your setlist with those songs. Brilliant!

So, from the Mustang Sally thread, there's:
Mustang Sally (bonus points if you change the name to the most 'active' dancer)
Love Shack
Honky Tonk Woman
Sweet Home Alabama

others that seem to evoke...cool chick stuff to happen:
Something by Dave Matthews (that 'Hike up your skirt a little more, and show your world to me' song comes to mind)
Something by Maroon 5
Something by Justin Timberlake

I don't know...I'm just guessing here. I've only ever played in originals bands. I'm fairly certain my next project will be a fun, carefree, happy go lucky cover band full of middle-aged people with kids and careers...seeing as how that's right where I'm headed.

What I'm hoping here is that everybody chimes in with what works. There are some standard covers that just don't bring out the freak in people, so I'm looking for those that do.

Full disclosure #1: I'm not the biggest fan of the above music, but can satisfy my playing jones in many ways. I'll be able to impart 'my style' into any song.

Full Disclosure #2: I'm married, and not all that pervy, so I'm not seeking a full on orgy on the floor or anything, but nothing gets me going quite like a dance floor full of people going crazy. I've never really liked mosh pits or a sea of dudes headbanging. I much prefer a sweaty mass of hedonism when I play.

Hard to handle
Voodoo Chile
She Hates Me

They've been working for us lately.

Here's an old one......
"You Can Leave Your Hat On".
That will evoke all sorts of girl-on-girl grinding, groping and touching.
Ooo, it's so good :-)

I've been wanting to add that one for that very reason for years.

P.S. I'll bet 'Superfreak' would also work.

Thanks! Keep 'em coming.

Get the ladies on the dancefloor and the men will follow isn't anything new but I think it works pretty darn good. I play in an oldies band so our crowd maybe older but I've found that girl group/girl POV songs generally do it. Believe it or not we've had a lot of success with the following tunes (cheesy or not).

These Boots (are made for walking)
My Boy Lollipop
Its My Party
My Boyfriends Back
Stop in the Name of Love
Come See About Me

In addition, I think pretty much any James Brown but in particular

Popas Brand New Bag
Sex Machine
I Feel Good

Motown works

Sugar Pie
Same Old Song
My Girl
Ain't Too Proud to Beg

As your girlfriend/wife. Good source of information, IMO.

I'm assuming the Joe Cocker version.

Maybe i'm coming at this from a different direction, but we tend to rely on P.Y.T. (M.J.) , 2 Close (Next), and Kiss (Prince).

What is P.Y.T. (M.J.) and Close (Next)?

Mo'Phat · #11 05-21-2009, 12:48 PM

I had though of Prince yesterday...Kiss is a pretty good one, but I'd bet most Prince songs would kill.

Depending on the age of the audience I'm betting some of the Donna Summers stuff would go over big as would 'Raining Men' or 'I Will Survive'.

What we should do is have a cover band franchise. That way, we'd only have to have one logo, one setlist, and we could double up the promotion and advertisements.

Just have a 'Sweaty Mass of Hedonism - Chicago' and a 'Sweaty Mass of Hedonism - San Diego'.

Every year we'd have a Las Vegas get together with all the franchise partnerships (Miami, New York, Los Angeles...etc.) and have a week-long sweaty mass of hedonism....I'm thinking poolside at the Pink Taco, Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.

I always pictured 'Raining Men' being better for the gay crowd. Besides, unless you have a girl singer, it really really really sounds supergay. That's not quite the vibe I'm going for.

It has been my experience that I Will Survive brings out the Karaoke Queen in every girl. They tend to be louder than the PA and overact the "I was petrified!" line.

Again, though...having a guy sing it could either be seen as ironic, cliche, or super really flaming gay.

GOOD ONE! Works EVERY time. Even if they don't know the song. Once they start to get what it's talking about, it's on. Plus that groove is like cake to a fat kid! "Break it down" a couple of times in the middle and let it "breathe" a little bit. Mmmmm...Good times.

Plus...."When Will I Be Loved?" Always gets the girls on the floor putting their arms around each other bonding over the times that we screwed them over and such. Not as fun, but it gets them up EVERY time.

Mo'Phat · #20 05-21-2009, 02:22 PM

I was at a party a few weekends ago, and it was an iPod with the oddest mix of '80's, '90's and 00's pop songs...but I keyed in on when the girls started moving:

Sexy Back - Justin Timberlake
Caress Me Down - Sublime ("I didn't know she had the GI Joe kung fu grip" was SCREAMED)
Dirrty - Christina Aguilera
Free Your Mind - En Vogue

The Xtina and En Vogue songs might be a bear to reproduce for a guy-fronted band, but the grooves are phat enough, I think.
