Within a few notes of any of these tunes popping on the speakers, your living room, wedding reception, backyard barbecue etc is guaranteed to be pulsing with ecstatic energy. In that spirit, when compiling this list of the greatest party songs of all-time, we’ve stuck to the big names with the big tunes just about everyone knows. But in most situations, familiarity is what brings the most feet to the dance floor. Sure, you might be tempted to show off your broad and obscure tastes.
1 most important element of any celebratory gathering, and crafting the perfect playlist is a delicate science. Whether you’re inviting friends over to your apartment or breaking into an abandoned warehouse, the music is the No. But you don’t have a party until you’ve got the songs. They were also seen in a video from 1992 that made the rounds last year featuring the otherwise fashion-conscious Ryan Gosling appearing on what he recalled was “some kind of Canadian Star Search.You’ve got the drinks. You move, and then the pants move, so it brings a nice little flair."Įventually, Hammer's flair pants went the way of Steve Urkel, slap bracelets, and other '90s fads-though they've made periodic reappearances, both in parodies (like Hammer’s recent Starburst commercials) and in prominent fashion collections from the likes of Dior and Burberry. "You can make a fashion statement," Hammer told ABC News in 2009 of his penchant for loose-fitting pants. Vanilla Ice, who was garnering his own fame at roughly the same time as Hammer, once boasted that his record label paid him $1 million to wear Hammer pants during a show. Hammer's popularity gave him the financial means to have his own outlandish harem pants custom-made, and they became touchstones of his music videos, live performances, and contribution to fashion. These oversized crotch pants allowed the Hammer to do his signature dance.

It wasn’t until 1911, when fashion icon Paul Poiret introduced a version of the pants dubbed "harem" trousers, that women were once again intrigued by the freedom of movement they allowed.
Writing of the "freedom dress" in her own magazine, Bloomer (who inspired the term "bloomers") encouraged women to wear pants that didn’t bind the legs and to comment on the gender disparity between men's and women's fashions.įor the latter reason, these "Turkish Trousers" never fully caught on: Some women simply didn't feel comfortable emulating a man's attire. When Miller returned, she spread the word so did fashion magazines and other forms of media that further popularized the idea of loose-fitting trousers.Īmelia Bloomer-editor of The Lily, America's first newspaper created for and by women-was an early advocate for this unconventional method of dress. When a New York socialite/women's rights activist named Elizabeth Smith Miller traveled to Switzerland in the mid-1800s, she noticed that patients in sanitariums favored baggy pants worn under shortened dresses that made exercising and moving around easier. In the Victorian era, women’s fashions were rather restrictive, with tight belts, bodices, and corsets squeezing their bodies. Although baggy, voluminous trousers initially appeared in Persia, India, and Turkey thousands of years ago, the most direct lineage of today's Hammer pants may have started with women who began insisting on more practical garments in the 1800s.
