“F*** You” by Cee-Lo – And here’s one of the most refreshing songs of 2010 for your 2011 New Year’s Eve party. It was so nice to see the world fall in love with a guy with a unique voice (as opposed to more auto-tune) in 2010, and this raw talent’s cheeky lyrics are definitely fun to sing along to. So if you want to make your partygoers smile and help them put 2010 behind them, let them all give a big “F*** you” to everyone who broke their heart or made them miserable during the year.
“I Can Change” by LCD Soundsystem – The lyrics “I can change” make good resolution words to help inspire everyone at your 2011 New Year’s Eve party, and its smooth but snappy synth sound makes this one of the best songs for getting everyone spinning right round on the dance floor.
“Round and Round” by Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti – And here’s another of the songs of 2011 that will leave your partygoers spinning round and round, although this slower joint is better for listening to while enjoying a few nostalgic drinks with friends and taking a break from the dance floor.
“Tell ‘Em” by Sleigh Bells – Looking for something loud and celebatory? Then this is one of the songs that you must add to your 2011 New Year’s Eve party list.
