The Top 20 That Songs Adults Get Hype To

Tumblr

While at a wedding, Bar/Bat Mitzvah, or any family party or gathering, there's always that period of time where the DJ takes a break from playing today's top hits, and takes everyone back...especially our parents. There's nothing better than seeing all the adults at the party go crazy and dance their hearts out over their favorite songs from when they were growing up. I'll admit, I love dancing and singing with my parents during this part of a party because you feel the nostalgic energy throughout the room while listening to these songs...(I tried being as accurate as possible!!)

1. "It's Tricky" by Run-D.M.C.

Personally, this song is one of my all time favorites. It's extremely catchy and I know it's one of my mom's all time favorites as well!! It's definitely not tricky to catch onto these lyrics!!

2. "Walk This Way" by Run-D.M.C. featuring Aerosmith

It's hard not to sing along with all the parents when this song is played!!

3. "You Shook Me All Night Long" by AC/DC

This song is by far an adult classic. It's easy to get hype while listening to this song!

4. "Back In Black" by AC/DC

Who doesn't love this song? It's so easy to have a good time when this song is played, regardless if you're at a party or just in the car!

5. "It Takes Two" by Rob Base and DJ EZ Rock

Watching the adults at parties go crazy to this song is probably one of the best and most entertaining experiences ever. I know that my parents both like this song and have such a good time whenever the DJ plays this throwback!

6. "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" by Michael Jackson

Who doesn't like listening to Michael Jackson's music?

7. "Thriller" by Michael Jackson

If you don't know this song, you have to be living under a rock. This one is a classic Michael Jackson song that I bet our own kids will know one day.

8. "Sweet Child O' Mine" by Guns N' Roses

Who doesn't know this song? This one is such a classic song!!

9. "You Give Love A Bad Name" by Bon Jovi

If you don't start dancing when this song is played, you're lying

10. "Livin' On A Prayer" by Bon Jovi

This song is one of the most classic party songs. I'm sure that our kids will know this song one day as well. Who doesn't love it or sing to it whenever it comes on?!

11. "Don't Stop Believin'" by Journey

This song is yet another classic!! Who doesn't know it?!

12. "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" by The Joan Jett & the Blackhearts

Although this isn't the original version, this song is still so easy to get hype to!!

13. "Jessie's Girl" by Rick Springfield

No matter your age, this song should be one that is easy to sing along to!!

14. "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)" by Whitney Houston

This is one of my favorite songs and I love seeing the adults get hype as they listen to it and dance around to it!!

15. "Free Fallin'" by Tom Petty

Although this song is more of a chill, slower song, it's still a great song! (And the adults love it!!)

16. "Sweet Caroline" by Neil Diamond

This song is nothing but a classic!

17. "Push It" by Salt-N-Pepa

For me, this is one of my all time favorite songs. It's so easy to dance around to, even with your parents!!

18. "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" by Cyndi Lauper

No matter how many remakes this song has, nothing beats the classic version by Cyndi Lauper!

19. "Heaven Is a Place On Earth" by Belinda Carlisle

This is another one of my all time favorites!!

20. "The Final Countdown" by Europe

As this musical countdown comes to an end, I hope that this playlist was accurate enough for all the adults out there!!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

Most families love to watch Christmas movies, but these beloved films provide more than entertainment. Here are 10 life lessons that I've learned from the holiday classics we watch every year.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

1."But what would happen if we all tried to be like Santa and learned to give as only he can give: of ourselves, our talents, our love and our hearts? Maybe we could all learn Santa's beautiful lesson and maybe there would finally be peace on Earth and good will toward men."

"Sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."

"If you won't use your heart, who cares if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose."

"Remember, no man is a failure who has friends."

"Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it."

"If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find a that love actually is all around."

"Sometimes things look good on paper, but lose their luster when you see how it affects real folks. I guess a healthy bottom line doesn't mean much if to get it, you have to hurt the ones you depend on."

"'Maybe Christmas,' he thought, 'doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.'"

"Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to."

"There's room for everyone on the nice list."

Hopefully they will make you laugh.
