Slightly random I know, however my daughter's birthday party is coming up, and I get to do the music. DJing to 7 year olds is where it is at.

The theme of her party is 'around the world', so trying to get music to match.

Can have a destination or place in the title or within the lyrics, it's more for my amusement really, the kids won't notice. Some examples which I have noted already:

Alphaville - Big In Japan
Aneka - Japanese Boy
Daft Punk - Around The World (duh)
Tony Christie - Is this the way to Amarillo?
Proclaimers - Letter to America
Boney M - Rasputin (lover of the Russian Queen)
Prefab Sprout - The King of Rock 'N' Roll
Debbie Harry - French Kissing in the USA
The Beach Boys - Surfin' USA

You get the picture.

The more tenuous the better, but it has to be playable to kids - so no rude words or god awful death metal. cookies available.

Cheers mofos.

Worldwide success albums at a 7 year olds party is definitely key.

all the old cheesy pop/dance ones, like vengaboys (going to ibiza), Infernal (from paris to berlin)

not sure if it works, but what about some more proclaimers? 500 miles?

viva las vegas (plenty of variations, i prefer elvis meself), Rotterdam or Anywhere (beautiful south i think),

rivers of babylon, belfast (boney M) , weezer - beverly hills, Galway Girl (steve Earle), Kokomo (beach boys)

can't quite think of anymore at the minute!
