DJing New Years Party Have one of THOSE Requests...

So im booked to dj a new years party... its a new years party and a stag and doe to raise money. Its gonna be a rough gig... older crowd around at the beginning.... red red wine, country songs.. ugh im cringing already just thinking about it....

so the request is they want me to play a version of happy birthday after new years because it is the grooms sisters birthday. Anyone have any decent versions of happy birthday such as an instrumental or something creative with a dance beat hahah i dunno...

Also does anyone have any cool new years countdowns or ideas for a new years buildup etc. This is my first new years gig.
thanks

Intrumental Dace Beat + Ableton + Happybirthday Intrumental = Not too hard, exactly what you want.

It shouldn't be too hard to recreate the distortion and FX on Steve Aoki's voice so that you can place a straight up 10-0 countdown before the WHOOP WHOOP in ableton. That'd be a sick little remix.

Somebody did a mashup of the Beatles song "Birthday" and the 50 Cent song where he raps "it's your birthday, it's your birthday".

If your doing a NYE for older folks, you can never go wrong with U2 - New Years Day. For a Birthday song, Beatles or Altered Images - Happy Birthday always work

you can never go wrong with this
