  3. I know I don’t qualify for this but I’ma comment anyway. YESSSS!!! “Up Jumps the Boogie” IS IT! Lawd you just took me wayy back. That. song. goes. HARD! YESSSSSSSS!!!

    But ummm… what happened to Magoo? Homeboy fell off the face of the earf.

  4. This song never fails to get me AMPED, especially the part “CUZ I’M A WOMAN”. LOL, I’ll be in my apt, dancing, singing along (LOUDLY! LOL!!!)

  6. I love the Reggae Remix of Beyonce’s Single Ladies, because it is jamming! I love reggae and this remix is totally awesome!
    I hope I embed this correctly???

  10. I like to listen to “Hot Boyz” by Missy, “Diva” by Beyonce, and “Roll it Gal” by Allison Hinds. Those three songs always get me in the mood for a GNO!

  12. Greetings!

    My girls and I formed a little ‘club’ called the MWC (Married Women’s Club) we meet the first Sunday of every month – take two vacations a year together and host various events at each others homes for just us – including our signature event – the Rupaul Drag Finale Party, where we dress in full drag, watch the finale and strut.

    Before we started doing this my get dress song was Super Model to begin with and now my get dressed song is Cover Girl

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3RB_56WziA

    To get into my fabulousness and maintain it – this song is perfect!!

  19. such a fun contest! My favorite get ready song is PYT by Michael Jackson because my friends and I are total pretty young thangs 😛

  22. Hands down for me is Queen Latifah’s “Ladies First” featuring Monie Love. Why you ask? It’s empowering! After I finish with listening (and dancing) to this, it reconfirms my belief I can be strong, yet femine and always a Lady first(just not a rapper, I’ll leave that for La and Monie lol)

  25. What better song to get you ready for a night out with the girls than Beyonce’s Freakum Dress.

  27. This one is easy: I Gotta Feeling by Black Eyed Peas. A classic. This song changes my mood for the better every time I hear it.

  29. Mine is “Click, Flash” by Ciara from the Sex and the City: The Movie soundtrack. It makes me feel so glamorous and fabulous for a night out with my gals! 😉

  30. The original “Ladies Night” by Kool and the Gang NEVER FAILS to get me hype!!

    It takes me forever to get ready so I have a couple others lol. “Upgrade U” & “Get Me Bodied” by Beyonce, “Do U Love What U Feel” & “I’m Every Woman” by Chaka, “Encore” by Cheryl Lynn.

    I do admit that I sometimes crank some hardcore rap music depending on my mood lol. Sometimes I just feel the need to get ignant & put some stank on the situation lol.

  31. My song..the ORIGINAL Ladies Night by Kool and the Gang! That bass line always get me going!

  33. Hi, am not sure I qualify but am willing to give it a go……..

    My song is by Lauryn Hill (Bob Marley), turn your lights down low, this live version. I swear, every time we play that, we keep it on repeat and turn the sound up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Plus, I just love love love Those shoes and that energy.

    Here’s the vid.

  34. U guys are making me want to go out lol!

    “Click Flash” is such a cute song. I love it! “Good Life” is so hype! “Turn Your Lights Down Low” is a favorite but it makes me weepy & silly like schoolgirl crush silly lol So that could be good too.

    I like “Got Money” by Lil Wayne too if I’m feelin “Bossy” lol

  35. “high heels, hair did, ain’t nobody rock a dress like you”

    This past year the song BE WHERE YOU ARE by Trey Songz has been a constant in my GNO soundtrack. Just the simple ritual of getting dressed when you know you’re going to have fun that night can be sexy and this song captures that. Plus the sound of Trey’s voice singing how a woman getting dressed is sexy makes it even more so.

  37. When I’m getting ready to go out I go old school – Knee Deep by Funkadelic! Nothing like it to get you in a party mood.

  38. I would have to go with Cyndi Lauper – Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIb6AZdTr-A

    You can’t really dispute Cyndi.

    The phone rings in the middle of the night
    My father yells what you gonna do with your life
    Oh daddy dear you know you’re still number one
    But girls they want to have fun
    Oh girls just want to have

    That’s all they really want
    Some fun
    When the working day is done
    Girls – they want to have fun
    Oh girls just want to have fun

  40. oh Cyndi would be the fave because who doesn’t want to have that one night out when they hear this song. It pretty much motivates you to have the perfect, most fun night ever.

  50. My favorite is “Get Me Bodied” by Beyonce, but I used to looove ” Jumpin’ Jumpin’ ” by Destiny’s Child

  51. My freshman year of college (1999), we use to go to a party in the school gym called “The Sweat Box.” While getting ready for the party we would jam to Destiny’s Child’s first album, Writing’s On the Wall. Tracks like Bug a Boo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9lLCdSRP7U), Jumpin, Jumpin (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vjw92oUduEM&feature=av2e), Say My Name (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQgd6MccwZc&feature=av2n), and So Good (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fxUQtVTygI&feature=related) always got us in party mode.

  52. One of my FAVE getting ready to go out songs is Mariah Carey “It’s Like That.” Always gets me ready!

  54. “Party Girl by Janelle Monae” hands down! the lyrics describe the getting ready experience perfectly especially the line “gotta get there early before 12 because its free” lol. And the beat is so feel good.

  55. Kelis – Weekend

    It’s my favorite because the beat is intoxicating and I can’t help but to dance when I hear it. I put it on when I am either leaving the house to meet my crew or when I’m getting ready.

  56. This is…atypical, I guess, but when I’m getting ready to go out I love to listen to “Out Tonight” from the Rent Soundtrack!

    “So let’s find a bar/ so dark we forget who we are/ Where all the scars from the Nevers and Maybes die”

    It’s the kind of song that makes me want to lose all my inhibitions.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8EoKhm7KFQ

  57. My favorite girls night out song is Chillin by Wale ft. Lady Gaga. Such a great song to get hyped up to.

  58. My favorite Girl’s night out song is none other than “Jumpin Jumpin” by Destiny’s Child. It truly gets me amp’d and ready to party.

  59. I love the Beyonce jams, but that’s too easy. I’m gonna reach back a bit and nominate Mariah carey’s “It’s Like That.” Mimi is feeling confident and about to let her hair down– it makes you feel good when you’re getting ready to go out, and it’s got a cocky flavor to it too:

    “Everybody’s livin’ it up
    All the fellas keep lookin’ at us, ’cause
    me & the firls are on the floor like what?
    while the DJ keeps on spinnin’ the cut
    It’s like that y’all, like that y’all….”

  62. My favorite girls night out song is “survivor” by Destiny’s child. This song puts us in a good mood while reminding us of how far we have come. All the hurdles we have cleared and the challenges we have overcome. It is groovy, it’s encouraging, and it’s fun to listen to.

  67. “Try Again” by Aaliyah is one of my absolute favorites. Always puts me in the mindset of hanging out w/my sister. Good stuff!

  72. ooooh “bootylicious” by destiny child or anything BBD(mainly “poison or do me baby”) noooo New Edition “NE Heartbreak”..she got it goin on..get-get, goin on, lol!!

  73. My favorite Girls Night Out Song is ” Drop it Low” by Ester Dean. When this song comes on, we do Exactly what the song says.

  74. my favorite girls night out song is….Ladies Night by Kool and the Gang. Dates me, I know….
    Thanks!

  75. There are definitely 7 songs that must be on the playlist when the crew goes out:
    1.Keisha Cole/let it go: thats for the chick in the crew thats goin’ through to much with her boo

    7.Lil’Kim w/guest features/ Ladies Night: we gotta play this song in remembrance of our older girl cousins and sisters who taught us how to have a ladies night
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QoQwdzKm7hk&feature=search

  79. Girl…..me & my Girls…get down to Kool & the Gang’s Jungle Boogie,Get Down on it…Ladies Night…Hollywood swinging..heck The Whole Kool & the Gang CD.. We get all dressed up…whip out our do me heels , roll down our windows and turn up the volume…and GET DOWN!!!

  80. Ok So call me new school if you’d like but I love Janelle! She is so free spirited so i let loose and have fun with this song. If I were to be old school then i would definitly have to sitck with aaliyah’s got to give it up!! But right now Janelle is where its at! =)

  81. the link didnt post with my post sorry! But the song i had above ^^^ was lettin go by janelle monae… sorry for the double post

  82. Destiny’s Child Jumpin’ Jumpin’.When you ,and your girl’s are ready to tear the club up,and maybe find a sponsor this song will pump you up an make you forget about your problems for the rest of the night lol !

  83. hey bella! did u kno that vogue endorsed jamaica’s staging of fno? yup on sep 10 i will be stepping out with my real friends hunting for the bargains and hitting the wine bar too!

    big up all mi real friends!

  86. it used to be pretty much any Beyonce song but now it’s “Vanity” and “Prima Donna” by Christina Aguilera because well…if these songs dont make you feel awesome before you go out you have a problem lol

  87. My favorite GNO song changes a lot, but right now I like to get ready to Beyonce’s “Single Ladies,” because it’s fun, flirty, has a great beat to dance to, and really makes me feel happy and sexy before a night out with my girls!

    Kieran.lovesyou AT gmail DOT com

  89. I loveee Lettin Go by Janelle Monae. The beat and vibe puts me in a happy mood and I just want to dance and let go. The lyrics will have you gigglin and moving to the beat. Janelle is an infectious singer.

  93. Oh, this is Ladies’ Night and I feel alright!! Oh, this is Ladies’ Night, oh, what a night!!

  95. Going in a completely different direction, when we were much younger and both going through my best friend and I were driving around and she threw in a Maxwell CD and declared that this was her theme song. The song was “Lifetime.” and in the middle of traffic in Houston, we started screeching the chorus with feeling. “I can let my life pass me by or I can get down and try to work it out this lifetime.”

    So that chorus is definitely our theme song. Don’t let it come on while we are out.

  96. My ultimate fav going out song is Aaliyah Back and Forth. ESPECIALLY the first verse. Its speaks for itself. You know you cute and your singing the song as you put on that final coat of lipgloss, nail polish or the final polishes on that fly hairdo LOL. Love it!

  98. My favorite girls’s night out song is “Dance Tonight” by Lucy Pearl. It’s such a smooth groove (that sounds corny I know) but in college, that was always our focus. It’s a great “getting ready for the club” song and it features the legendary Raphael Saddiq. How could you go wrong with him?!?!

  101. My favorite getting ready song is “Seconds of Pleasure” by Van Hunt because even when I’m feeling a little down about body, I put that song on while I’m putting on my flowing tops or dresses, and I switch my hips to it. Then I begin to see my beautiful curves and I feel confident again!

  103. My favorite ladies night out song is “Roll It” by the Nigerian group PSquare that song is amazing!!

  106. A song that’s in my GNO Mix that always get’s me started with my Naomi walk is Amerie “1 Thing”. How can you not shake when the beat drops!

  107. No Diggety…no DOUBT! This had to be the ultimate get-me-and-ma gurls-ready for some club fun! Actually, this song was good for ANY night out, dinner party, trip to the beach, whatever. It just made us all feel so sexy and free.

    Check it out!

  110. my fav gno song is ‘nasty girl’. i don’t go out much anymore, but everytime i hear it, it takes me back to my college days and me and my girls dancing to it on ladies night.

  113. My Favorite Girls Night Out Song is “Fancy”-by Drake! Omg we love this song!!! It’s our anthem because he talks about “us” getting dressed and loving ourselves!!! It’s Amazing!!!! Yay Us!! LOL!!! 🙂

  114. This is going to date me (not to mention the misogyny-don’t judge me!) but when I’m getting ready to shake a leg, nothing gets me more up than some Miami bass music, especially Uncle Luke….

  117. My favorite Girls Night Out song is “Freakum Dress” by Beyonce. Its my fav because the lyrics are about a GNO, and the beat is bananas!

  118. Angie Martinez, Lil Kim, Left Eye, Da Brat & Missy Elliott – Ladies Night (circa 1997) love love LOVE this song…. bump this as you head out and it will definitely put you in the mood to jam all night long!

  122. My favorite GNO song is Regulate by Warren G. During my college days, my roommate and I would play this song as we prepped for the weekend party on campus. I think it was the story that he and Nate Dogg told (because something ALWAYS happened by the time we got back to our room!!) that got us all hyped up!

  123. My favorite Girls Night Out song is ‘This is How We Do It” By Montell Jordan. It’s just a fun song, that you can dance and be silly to with your girls while getting ready.

    Also, a runner up is ‘Shawty is a 10’ By The Dream. Makes you feel super cute while looking in the mirror putting make on 🙂

  124. Thinking over all of the different songs I like made it really difficult to pick one. But I guess if I was having a girls night out, we would definately all have to turn on swag on, just like soulja boy so I had to pick his song! Just thinking of it makes me think about going out and having fun! That fast beat could make anyone want to smile and dance! So “turn my swag on” by soulja boi would have to be my girls night out pick!

  125. MY favorite song to for a Girls Night Out Is “Shake your Tambourine” by Eve. Makes me shake mine every time.

  126. Please enter me in the contest! My favorite girls’ night out song right now is Rihanna ‘Rude Boy.’ It instantly gets me in the mood.

  127. Kylie Minogue Can’t Get You Out Of My Head! I don’t know why!!!! I just love the beat as I get ready.

  128. Hey Mr. DJ – Zhane always gets me in the mood to go out & have fun! I fell in love with this song when Tatyana Ali (Ashley Banks) sang it on “The Fresh Prince”! It’s just an easy groove song that I can get glam to for a night out!

  129. My favorite “girls night out” song is “It Takes Two” by Rob Base. I’m an 80’s baby, and I still jam to this. This song takes me back to roller rink, and skating my behind off. When I want to get my self pumped up for a girls night out. I bump this really loud. It always gets me hyped.

  130. I don’t have just one song that I listen to, but a few of my staples from my otherwise ever-changing playlist are:

    Video & I Am Not My Hair (remix) – India Arie
    Bonafide & Don’t Talk – Jon B.
    Put Your Records On – Corinne Bailey Rae

    These songs always get me in a happy, ready to party mood!

  132. One of my favorite GNO songs is ‘Get Me Bodied’ By:Beyonce. That always gets me and my girls hype. We have our little dance routine and everything down. Its just a wonderful way to get that boost of confidence before heading out 😀

  133. My fave going out song right now is “Can I borrow you?” by Eric Roberson. A VERY close second would be “Get By” by Talib Kweli. It’s fun to go out and let my hair down knowing my honey will be there for me later 😉

  134. ~~~smiling nodding my head~~~~ as I add a bunch of these songs to my workout playlist so I can stay fly for GNO 🙂

  135. My favorite going out song is Southern Stuff by Anthony Hamilton. I have southern qualities and a southern drawl so I imagine he is singing to me.

  136. Michael Jackson’s Rock With You definately >>> followed by anything on Beyonce’s B’day album.

    Thanx.

  137. My favorite song for a ladies night on the town…definitely Kelly Rowland’s “Like This” featuring Evie-Eve

    I’m excited to try out the Caress Whipped Souffles. That Blackberry Cream would be divine with the Bath and Body Works Summer Vanillas lotion in Berry!

  138. since i’m from the south, new orleans to be exact, me and my girls have no choice to play Juvenile “Drop It Like it’s Hot” and there’s always a problem because we’re always too busy dancing in the mirror instead of getting dressed.

  141. wow that’s a tough one there’s so many…I’d have to say Mary J. Blige “Family Affair”

  143. Our GNO jam Aaliyah’s “Are You That Somebody?” – LOVE IT!

    This song will make us stop mid-makeup to dance our (really terrible) version of the video’s choreography. We’re terrible dancers but you’d swear we were the original backup dancers the way we get to moving! LOL

  146. Hmmmm….so many songs get me ready for a night out! My old staples are “Get me bodied” by Beyonce and “Just fine” by Mary J.
    About a year or so ago, I started getting into funky house music, and now my go-to’s are “Do you mind” by Kyla and “Go” by Meleka. Check them out – guaranteed to move!

  147. George Michael appears as though he may go down (lol!) because of driving about stoned. Hey, is this a threat or a promise? It’d be like shutting in most men in a harem! Lol!

  149. Yeah, I’m have to kick it old school… “Ladies Night” by Kool and the Gang. Everytime I hear it I want to put on my heels and step fierce! I hear it in my head right now…. “Ummm, oh yeah, oh what a night”….
