Answers: I am throwing a roaring 20's party and I need some fun music to dance to. I want it to fit in with the era but most of the ones i find on itunes are very slow tempo.
My suggestions for uptempo tunes from the era:
Ain't We Got Fun?
Way Down Yonder in New Orleans
Yes! We Have no Bananas
Charleston (if you don't get this one, you do NOT have a "Roaring 20s" party...)
Sweet Georgia Brown
When the Red, Red Robin Comes Bob, Bob, Bobbin' Along
Varsity Drag
Let's Misbehave (Helen Kane would be a 1920s recording of this one..or Irving Aaronson..)
Makin' Whoopee
Button Up Your Overcoat
He's So Unusual (Helen Kane..if you can't find this one, Cyndi Lauper, yes THAT Cyndi Lauper, did a cover on her debut album SHE'S SO UNUSUAL..)
Button Up Your Overcoat
Singin' in the Rain (Cliff Edwards is the 1929 version...same guy that sang for Jiminy Cricket in the Pinocchio cartoon if I remember correctly..)
Let's Do It, Let's Fall in Love-Louis Armstrong
This should be a good start...
Boogie music
Blues music
You can't go wrong with jazz from that era.
Duke Ellington, George Gershwin, Edith Day, Irving Aaronson, Eddie Cantor.
"Collegiate shag" was very popular at that time as well. George Olsen, Hal Kemp... Joe Penner.
The Moulin Rouge soundtrack might be something contemporary you could throw in the mix that would do well.
