The Ultimate Hen-Do Playlist
OK, our post yesterday about the ultimate stag-do playlist generated a lot of discussion, most of it from women shouting about wanting a hen-do list. As regular readers will know we always bow to any pressure and so here for your fulfillment is THE ULTIMATE HEN-DO PLAYLIST.
***********
Fuelled by oestrogen and designed to be enjoyed with L-plates, limo rides and luminous cocktails, these tunes are guaranteed hen night hits. Spotify users would be clucking mad not to listen to the whole lot here: www.iamstaggered.com ultimate hen night playlist.
WARMING UP
Ernie K-Doe – Here Come The Girls
Yeah, it’s the song off that advert where women go loopy over bubble bath gift boxes and lipsticks, but we never said this was going to be original. Go for Ernie K-Doe’s version over the Sugababes cover for deep funk goodness, doe-K?
The Spice Girls – Wannabe
Women of a certain age will always have a place in their hearts for The Spice Girls. They were the Girls Aloud of their day, but far less attractive and therefore less threatening. Play Wannabe and see who gets nominated to be Scary Spice.
Beastie Boys – Girls
The stags got Fight For Your Right, but we’ve a Beastie Boys number for the ladies too. “Girls to do the dishes, girls to clean up my room, to do the laundry, and in the bathroom,” say the lyrics – a staunch reminder why your bloke’s a keeper.
Kool & The Gang – Ladies Night
Is there a more aptly titled song for a hen night? We don’t think so. Get the two-for-one Bacardi Breezers in and get down.
PEAK TIME
Cyndi Lauper – Girls Just Want To Have Fun
She may sound like the long-lost sister of Alvin, Simon and Theodore, but Cyndi Lauper’s ultra-girly hit is four minutes of pure joy. Pick up a beer bottle microphone and sing along.
Christina Aguilera, Lil’ Kim, Mya and Pink – Lady Marmalade
Depending how drunk you are, at least one of your party will get up and do some ill-advised and gratuitously unsexy moves to this song, probably involving a chair, a feather boa and a complete absence of dignity.
Motley Crüe – Girls, Girls, Girls
Because girls can rock out too, here’s a slice of unbridled ‘80s poodle-perm metal for y’all. It’s actually an ode to the strip clubs of Hollywood’s Sunset Strip, so you might have to switch off those feminist instincts for the duration.
Beyonce – Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)
The lyrics don’t necessarily apply to a bride-to-be but it’s a great chance to show off the rock on your finger and laud it over your singleton friends. And let’s face it, you’ll been gagging to do the bum-rumble dance all night.
END OF THE NIGHT
Chaka Khan – I’m Every Woman
Chak-attack! I’m Every Woman is sure to inspire intense female bonding, so let the hair down and dance like you’re in a sanitary towel advert.
Gloria Gaynor – I Will Survive
As the bride-to-be, you’re likely to be in a joyous state of pre-marriage fuzziness. Chances are some members of the party won’t be so far along with their life plan. Throw them a bone with this anthem for the terminally single female.
The Dixie Cups – Chapel Of Love
Whether you want to hear this doo-wop ditty or not, people will be singing it at you for the duration of the build up to the wedding, so you might as well enjoy the real thing.
Florence + The Machine – You Got The Love
Who got the love? You do! Unless you’re suddenly having second thoughts. Either way, this towering tune is perfect end-of-the-night fodder, for the moment when the shoes are off, the hair’s straggly and projectile vomit is on a hair trigger in the gullet. Taxi!
