Several members of “[Retroflection](https://retroflection.band)” expressed enthusiasm adding this song to our set list for future gigs. They didn’t have to twist my arm. It’s a fun song, with a funky bass line. I’m looking forward to playing this one with them.

While I was recording this song near the end, my wife walked by the open door to my office. Of course, I had to ham it up for her 🙂

You Make My Dreams

Although the new Miley Cyrus song, “Flowers”, is many years away from being a retro hit, our band’s drummer made the suggestion that “Party In The USA” could fit the brand of “Retroflection”. He’s right. That song is one the younger crowd at our events would enjoy since many of them grew up listening to it. To them, this song is “Retro”. Shocking that the kids who grew up with Hannah Montana are now old enough to get into bars!

Like Cyrus’s current single, this song has a simple chord structure that is the same for both verse and chorus (F# – A# – D#).

Party In The USA

This is a huge pop song from the mid 90's that has received new attention as the soundtrack to recent "Staples" ads promoting their sign and banner printing services.  Although it's from a Scandinavian dance band, this iconic song has a reggae feel with many of the bass notes played on the up beats.
