This guilty pleasures playlist has 50 cheesy party songs you secretly love, from Barbie Girl, Mambo No. 5 and Macarena to Cha Cha Slide, Gangnam Style and The Final Countdown. It's made for cheese nights, school reunions and the end of a wedding when the dignity has gone.
90s Eurodance starts the madness. Then come the line dances and novelty hits, before the closing stretch of Sweet Caroline and Bohemian Rhapsody.

Why these songs work
Everybody pretends to hate these songs until the chorus drops. Then the whole room is doing the actions.
Plenty of these have half a million Last.fm listeners or more. A couple of party classics like 5,6,7,8 stay in because no cheese night is complete without them.
