So make your Year's Eve party a mystical and unforgettable one with this addictive dance tune.

'Bootylicious' by Destiny's Child - This is one of those songs you'll play at your New Year's Party that will excite a lot of your guests, but make a few others roll their eyes. Still, it seems that all backside-related songs always have a legion of fans, and it's nice that the ladies have their own bootylicious tune.

It might make your New Year's party guests look a little freaky on the dance floor, but they'll be having a lot fun getting their freak on to one of the most unforgettable songs of 2001.

'Because I Got High' by Afroman - This is one of the few songs on this list that isn't a dance song, but it's one of the songs of 2001 that a few of the most chilled-out guests at your New Year's Eve party will have a good laugh at. It's definitely one of the funniest songs of the decade, and it offers one of the best excuses for screwing up New Year's resolutions.

'Ms. Jackson' by Outkast - I remember this as one of the songs of 2001 that people were absolutely obsessed with. Play it at your New Year's Eve party, and I guarantee that many of your guests will be happily singing along with the chorus. It's definitely one of the bests songs of the decade, and while it may not be as easy to dance to, your guests will still love hearing it at your New Year's Eve party.

'Lady Marmalade' by Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim, Mya & Pink - And here's another of the sexy songs of 2001 by some of the sexiest female artists of the past decade.

When it comes to the best songs of the decade by female artists, you can't beat this fierce foursome of powerful females.

'It Wasn't Me' by Shaggy Featuring Ricardo "RikRok" Ducent - This is one of those songs that your New Year's Eve party guests will get a good giggle from, even if us ladies are still annoyed by its message about how to get out of a witnessed sexcapade with another woman. Still, play it at your New Year's Eve party, and watch your guy guests sing along to one of the funniest songs of the past decade that's definitely all for them.

'Ride Wit Me' by Nelly Featuring City Spud - When it comes to songs of the past decade perfect for reminiscing to, this one will definitely remind your New Year's Eve party guests of their younger days when taking a ride with their girl or their best buds was a great way to have a good time. Plus it's also another great New Year's Eve party dance song for groovin' to and singing along with.

So if you want your New Year's Eve party to blow a few minds, you've got to add this to your list of songs for the ladies.

'All For You' by Janet Jackson - This sugary sweet song would be perfect for playing at your New Year's Eve party in remembrance of Janet's iconic brother. And we sometimes forget just how amazing of an artist she is, too, so one of her most addictive songs is one of the best ways to revisit her amazing body of work (and do you remember her body in this video?!).
