"Rock This Party"
Song

"Rock This Party (Everybody Dance Now)" is a song by Bob Sinclar, co-produced by regular partner Cutee B and featuring Dollarman and Big Ali on vocals. The song samples the massive 1990s hit "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)", by C+C Music Factory featuring Freedom Williams and was released as the third major single off the Western Dream album, on August 22, 2006. It became his most popular single on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at number 3 and also reached number 6 on the ARIA Singles Chart.

Music video

The music video features David Beaudoin, the same boy from the "Love Generation" and "World, Hold On" videos. In this video, the boy "performs" the song (with two young girls) as Sean Paul, Bob Marley and as Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis, along with other stylised performances as John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever, The Beatles and AC/DC. The video also includes parodies of other music videos, such as "Smells Like Teen Spirit" (Nirvana), "Cry Me a River" (Justin Timberlake) and "Thriller" (Michael Jackson). The video is very popular on YouTube where it has received over 8,000,000 hits. [1]
