60 year old's who like younger music

[Charlie Brown]

Howdy,

Bit of a weird one.

I'm doing a 60th next week for my ex deputy head/English teacher. I'm really looking forward to seeing the staff 'out of their comfort zone' and in a different environment other than school.

His wife likes tunes like; 'Rock DJ', 'Scissor Sisters - I Don't Feel Like Dancin', 'Alejandro' etc etc.

I'm a bit stuck. Any other good tunes, like above that have a modern feel with a good beet?

Americano will probably work well.

Cheers in advance. :beer1:

[Mark Wild]

Call yourself a DJ? LOL

[Danno13]

Doesn't sound weird at all, they sound like normal modern tracks that cross all age groups to me. Add anything else by Gaga, Valerie, Cee-Loo Green, Black Eyed Peas maybe Rihanna & Beyonce if you feel like going more down the RnB route.

I'm really not doing very well tonight. :o

I meant it's 'weird' because it's old members of staff having a drink? The birthday boy is my ex English teacher. I haven't seen him since he shook my hand in June before walking into my English exam. Since, I got a D/F in English and left the school. For me - it will be weird! :lol:

Thanks Danno. That's a good starting point :beer1:

I was looking for things a bit older? Perhaps 2000 to 2003?

He likes rock so Kings of Leon & The Killers will be a must.

Katy Perry is popular amongst most age groups at the moment.

Thanks Tony.

Any more near the 2000's.

I'm sure I will be fine (worrying unnecessarily for a change) but any more ideas would be appreciated.
