All I Want Out of New Year’s Eve Is a Swingin’ Party

I listen to“Swingin ’ political party ” by Kindnessmore than any other song in 2014 . It ’s not really party medicine , and it ’s certainly not swing music . ( It ’s not about swing over either , perv . ) But the iciness , let’s - give ear - out - with - our - pet - champion vibration is everything I desire out of my New Year ’s Eve .

“ Swingin ’ Party ” was earlier released by The Replacements in 1985 , though it ’s been cover unnumbered time . Kindness did their the glitchy translation in 2009 , and Lordedid a moody rendition in 2013 . But one line stands out in all of them : “ Bring your own lamp shade / Somewhere there ’s a political party . ”

That ’s what I want . I want to go to a theatre party with my preferent friend and a cluster of lampshades . sound unearthly and coolheaded and much better than cramming into Times Square andpeeing my pant . If I see a unknown at the company without a lampshade , well they can have mine because that ’s the New Year ’s sprightliness . We ’re all in this together . [ Spotify , iTunes , Amazon ]
