The “Party Like It’s The Last” playlist, believe it or not, was actually created for a last party. I live in South Florida where our “season” is actually wintertime. Season is when all the snowbirds come down from up north. It’s bittersweet because while we love what the season does for our economy, we certainly don’t love how the roads quadruple in traffic (no exaggerating) and we have to pretty much forget about eating at a restaurant for four months.
By May, most snowbirds have flown back north. We’re no longer at risk of a hemorrhagic stroke while driving. Eating pizza means returning to a favorite brick oven eatery instead of tipping the delivery guy at your door. School is about to let out. Sanity starts to come back. And, to celebrate this end-of-season elation is our town’s annual Canoe Races.
I have been to numerous Canoe Races without ever seeing a single canoe race. It’s really just a time when all the locals get together in a few designated spots and then get crazy. I mean, CRAAAAY-ZY!!! In particular, a majority of young people attend a boat party along the channel side of an island. Others party by foot in city spots along the water.
The past few years have been insignificant for me. I may have attended one Canoe Race in the past four years. The party is pretty intense, my body is not getting younger, and well, I’ve been there done that. Until this year. I never dreamed that there would be a final Canoe Race; however, after forty years someone decided it was time to end the tradition.
My husband and I are fortunate to not only have our own boat, but to have a real pretty sounding one. Without question we knew we could not miss the last Canoe Race ever. So I started to work on this craaaay-zy playlist. It turned into a concoction of bass dropping trap, house, tech, hip hop, and a touch of rock.
“Keep It 100” showcases this mix pretty well:
Start paying attention at the one minute mark of “Bottle Swervice”, and your brain will tell you why this is not a casual playlist:
We have already put these songs to the test. The last Canoe Race is over. It was awesome, needless to say, but this playlist lives on. Just know that “Party Like It’s The Last” is a ridiculous four hour compilation of party bangers. Please don’t say I didn’t warn you. If you dare to play this at the gym, mixing “Party Like It’s The Last” with pre-workout could be a dangerous combination. This playlist was made for days that you can’t adult, so please…be safe kids!
