7 Essential Ingredients For An Alan Partridge Themed Party

7. The Right Soundtrack

ABBA are probably going to be take up a lot of space on any Partridge party playlist. Their hit 'Knowing Me, Knowing You' gives its name to Alan's talk show as well as featuring as the theme song.

The series also boasts an ABBA medley performed by Alan and his singing guest. There are, however, plenty of other musical references made throughout Alan's various series and films which might add variety to your evening's soundtrack.

Whenever we catch a glimpse of Alan working at his job as a local radio D.J. his listeners are usually being treated to one of his trademark introductions or sign offs. 'Mmmm. A nice thick slice...of Thin Lizzy' purrs Alan in one moment. 'The Police...or, as they are now known, Sting!' he declares in another.

Thus, 'The Boys Are Back In Town' and 'De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da' become Alan anthems, suitable for your dance floor.

Who could forget Alan's superb Kate Bush medley as well? Another artist that needs to show up on your playlist.
