Mix CD for a bowling party

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

I'm in the early stages of planning a surprise birthday party for a friend, which will start off with some tenpin bowling, followed by a meal somewhere and general boozing. It's not going to be a huge affair - there'll only be about a dozen people coming - so I thought I might make some mix cds with a bowling theme for everyone as a reminder of the evening, but I'm stuck for track ideas. I can only think of the Manic Street Preachers' "Take The Skinheads Bowling" .... what else should go on there too???

The chorus of Chumbawamba's Tubthumping was written from a bowling pin pov.
