Put a Lincoln in the jukebox and enjoy.
“What A Fool Believes” – The Doobie Brothers
Nothing says happy hour like a little yacht rock to go along with your scotch and water.
“Sussudio” – Phil Collins
“I think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite.”
“Captain Jack” – Billy Joel
Shock the house with a non “Piano Man” Joel jam. Starts out slow, but builds to a wonderful crescendo. That’s fancy music talk for the part of a song when everyone in the bar pounds their cocktail.
“Tainted Love/Where Did Our Love Go?” – Soft Cell
This song is nine minutes long and is actually two songs joined together. Conserve some jukebox credits and pick this bad boy.
“Party Up” – DMX
Set the tone right off the bat and let everyone at the bar know how you fucks with it.
“Cracklin’ Rosie” – Neil Diamond
Neil just talking about wine and women at the same time. That’s just happy hour in a nutshell.
“Rich Girl” – Hall & Oates
A happy hour staple. A classic, really.
“Do You Believe In Love?” – Huey Lewis & The News
Some might go with “The Power Of Love” or maybe even “Back In Time,” but I prefer the most underrated HL&TN song.
“Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car” – Billy Ocean
Ask the barkeep to turn it up and find a babe to sing it to. She’ll love it.
“The Finer Things” – Steve Winwood
What life is all about.
Am I missing something for only knowing three of these songs?
Yeah man, the 80s. It was a hell of a decade.
^^
Rich Girl…
Classic.
