Songs to get you ready for Homecoming Weekend

By Alicia Szczesniak | For The Post

As OU’s Homecoming Weekend approaches, the campus population has begun to get excited for what feels like a nonstop party. Whether you’re on Court or Mill Street, at the football game or just having fun in your apartment or dorm, you’re going to need some danceable party tunes to get you going.

“Pursuit Of Happiness (Nightmare)” - Kid Cudi

“Pursuit Of Happiness (Nightmare)” is a staple for every college rager, and with Homecoming Weekend being one long, nonstop party, you are more than likely to hear this tune being blared out of bars or an off-campus house.

“No Hands” - Roscoe Dash, Waka Flocka Flame and Wale

“No Hands” is another college party staple, and a Homecoming Weekend party is no exception. It’s a song that will hands down have everyone sprinting to the dance floor.

“Dancing Queen” - ABBA

There’s something about ABBA that has an absolute chokehold on college-aged girls, and “Dancing Queen” is the party anthem that gets every single one of them on their feet and dancing away.

“Hotel Room Service” - Pitbull

Pitbull is arguably the king of party music. No celebration is complete without a song or two from Mr. Worldwide himself, and “Hotel Room Service” is no exception, guaranteeing to get even the least rhythmically inclined to move.

“Cruise” - Florida Georgia Line

“Cruise” is quite frankly THE tailgate anthem, mostly due to its country style, easygoing, almost-summery vibe and sing-along ability. Because it seems like everyone knows the song, it makes it a great addition to the Homecoming Weekend playlist.

“Beautiful Girls” - Sean Kingston

Sean Kingston’s “Beautiful Girls” is another instant get-together classic, and there are very few larger get-togethers than Homecoming Weekend in Athens. It’s a great singalong, it’s danceable and overall just a fun tune to get a crowd in a good mood.

“S&M” - Rihanna

Now THIS is the one that will get people scream-singing for just how easy it is to get super into it. Rihanna is one of the queens of party anthems, and “S&M” is by no means an exception.

“Shots” - LMFAO

“Shots” is the party song. At one point or another, most college parties have a period of time in which this song is playing and everyone is shaking the house from all the jumping and dancing to it.
