The two Beatles songs that have always gone down well at parties i have had are " I Saw Her Standing There " and surprisingly  " Yellow Submarine " , which Beatles  songs have you put on to get the party going ?  

Good post Dave. I think we go to different types of parties. Yellow Submarine....?
I find The Beatles too slow to dance to.

Quoted from Kevin

Good post Dave. I think we go to different types of parties. Yellow Submarine....?

When everybody is drunk Yellow Submarine as gone down well at my parties , remember one New Year's party i had back end of the 80's and that was playing this rather large women draged me to the floor and sat on me , she began to contucted the room in a sing song bouncing up and down on my chest , boy was i pleased it's a short song  

lol yeah i think the beatles aint youre typical party band.

i have had get togethers and played the beatles in which case i just played full albums in the background while we drink and play xbox or chat.

but saw her standing there is definitly the one i think that would be the best to dance too with all its energy, followed by songs like paperback writer, lady madonna, hey bulldog.....

Hey, even The Beatles danced to their own songs:

I'm with Kevin on this one. Dave, you're going to the wrong parties mate!!

I used to have a gig in a club in Amsterdam once in a while. They always played Twist And Shout there and it was a great success!

The parties i go to are very wrong your right there ,not the the type you can take your policeman brother to , you won't find many nibbles on the coffee table at these parties or stuff you can buy at ASDA  
I was talking more  traditional family type parties where i think you can throw in a Beatles song ?

" Love Me Do " is ok for a party song ?

Quoted from Bobber

Twist And Shout is a good one

Songs I've used for a party (mind you, this was a Beatles themed birthday bash):

"I Want To Hold Your Hand"
"She Loves You"
"Twist and Shout" (cover)
"And I Saw Her Standing There"
"I'm Happy Just To Dance With You"
"Rollover Beethoven" (cover)

Parties I've been to have played

I Saw Her Standing There

Hey Bulldog

Lady Madonna

'All Together Now' is a favorite when i'm piss drunk.

Revolution 9!! ;P JK

I'd say number one would be Get Back or I wanna be your man

Quoted from tkitna

'All Together Now' is a favorite when i'm piss drunk.

I pretty sure All Together Now originated from a drinking game anyways

"She Loves You" and "Twist and Shout" are always good ones!

Last party I went to I want to hold your hand,twist and shout and love me do were played, they went down well amidst all the rap and hip hop music that was continuously played throughout the night.

Did you know that the Mersey groups each had their own 'fight' songs? This occurred whenever there was a big 'barney' in a hall. The group on stage would then play their 'fight song.' The Beatles 'fight song' was 'Hully Gully.'

So the band really did play on! Do you know any of the others Bill?

I did know the other fight songs of different groups, but I've forgotten. However, I can do a little research and ask them.

i think the swinging blues jeans used hippy hippy shake for theirs....i know there were others but i can't find the post for it...so many things are repeated here that if it doesn't pop up more than once it doesn't get discussed......

I think that I want to Hold your Hand, Twist and Shout, I Saw her Standing There, Lady Madonna, Hey Bulldog, Shout, Can't Buy Me Love, Day Tripper, and I Wanna be Your Man are good ones.
