Everyone knows that Freaky Trigger is on the radio at 7 tonight - right?

Meanwhile, here's a question. If you were DJing at a work do, and the theme of the party was "Hollywood", what would you have to play?

CINEMA by yes

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

"Hollywood" by Madonna, except its a bit rub.

Girls on Fillum.

You could do your mini John Hughes set! :)

I think the theme will be more in the decor, dressing up etc etc. - but might be worth thinking about a couple of tunes to drop in (hence this thread)

[jeff-worrell.livejournal.com]

Maybe songs about individual famous fillum stars?

The only ones I can think of k-dreary tho ("Candle in the Wind", "Celluloid Heroes" by Teh Kinks etc)

ahem JACQUES LU CONT mix of the Madge.

Felix Da Housecat - Madame Hollywood
Ashlee Simpson - Boyfriend ("Hollywood sucks you in but it won't spit me out", note that the 'you' refers to one Ms L Lohan)

CSS's cover of Madonna's Holywood is MUCH better than the original. And utterly bonkers, so may not quite be suiatble for a work do.

Poison's "Hollyweird" album.

All you can really play is sleazy rock music if the theme is hollywood - LA Guns; G'N'R; Motley Crue; Faster Pussycat; Ratt etc. I would play all their ballads.

All the obvious big soundtracky songs like Little Green Bag....

She Was A Winner That Became A Doggie's Dinner
