We Like to Party

"We Like to Party!" (also known as "The Vengabus" on its single release) is a track by the Dutch Eurodance group Vengaboys. It came out in the Netherlands in May 1998 as the fourth single from their first album, Up & Down – The Party Album (1998). After doing well in the Benelux region, it was released globally on 9 November 1998. The song became one of the group's biggest hits, hitting number one in Flanders, number two in Australia and the Netherlands, and reaching the top five in Germany, Ireland, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. It is also the Vengaboys' highest-charting single in the United States, where it climbed to number 26 on the Billboard Hot 100, and in Canada, where it peaked at number 10.

The song is a Eurodance track lasting 3 minutes and 41 seconds. It is written in the key of A major and has a tempo of 136 beats per minute in common time.

Critics gave the song positive reviews. An AllMusic editor called it a "bouncy eurodisco hit" that reminded them of Aqua's "Barbie Girl" because of its singalong chorus, cute female vocal squeal, and quirky synth beats. A Billboard writer noted that the group was already well-known in Europe, where the song had gone platinum and double-platinum in Belgium and the Netherlands respectively. They described it as an "infectious pop gem" with a sugar-coated chorus that sticks in the head, predicting it would appeal to fans of "Barbie Girl," Cleopatra's "Romeo And Juliet," and Los del Río's "Macarena." The Daily Record labeled it "cheesy disco" from Europe's top-selling boy-girl band. An Entertainment Weekly critic called it a "cheeseball club music" hit with a campy disco beat, party-girl vocals, and a killer hook from a ship horn, noting it started as a beach anthem in Ibiza, Spain, before becoming a Stateside smash. A retrospective review from Pop Rescue highlighted its "unmistakeable Vengaboys sound" and described it as a fast-paced, energetic track.

Commercially, the single sold better than "Up and Down" in the United Kingdom, where it peaked at number three in March 1999 and sold 474,000 copies, making it the 29th-biggest hit of the year. It also reached number one in Flemish Belgium, number two in Australia and the Netherlands, number three in Ireland, number four in Germany and Switzerland, number six in Austria and Italy, number nine in New Zealand, and number ten in Canada and Walloon Belgium.
