If you plan on throwing a party, you'll want to keep the energy up so your guests remain entertained. Playing music by the same artist or the same type of song over and over again will bore your guests and may result in an early end to your party. Create a party mix to keep people dancing and talking. A party mix CD should include upbeat and fun songs with easy choruses that people can sing along to. For example, consider including The Village People's "YMCA" or Miley Cyrus' "Party In The USA" on your party mix CD. Be sure to alternate between different genres and tempos to make the mix dynamically interesting and keep guests guessing.
Holidays are a time to enjoy yourself and embrace culture. Music is an important element of many holidays, such as Christmas, Halloween and New Year's Day. Create a holiday mix CD to go along with your holiday festivities. For example, if you want to create a mix CD for Halloween, consider including songs like Michael Jackson's "Thriller" and Bobby Pickett's "Monster Mash." Choose songs that reflect your own unique interpretation of the holiday. For example, if you hate Valentine's Day, create a mix of bitter breakup songs.
Many couples have a favorite song they like to refer to as "our song." Go even further and create a whole mix of romantic songs to celebrate love and relationships. Your romantic mix CD can contain songs that capture a couple's unique dynamic. For example, celebrate a fun-loving couple by creating a mix CD with upbeat pop songs about love. A romantic mix CD can also consist of a couple's favorite songs. Consider making a mix CD with a husband's favorite song followed by a wife's favorite song, and so on.
