What would make up your fantasy dinner party? Today, we've all turned party-planner, concocting a flavoursome recipe for the perfect night in.

We like our pop stars as hot as our Thai soup, our songs as tender as our chicken and our conversations as rich as our wine.

Dinner is served...

James

Windowlicker by Aphex Twin

“Every dinner party needs a good weirdo."

Vicky

Raspberry Beret by Prince

"I would definitely invite Prince – what's not to love? Hopefully he'd wear the sky suit from the Raspberry Beret video."

Amelia

Don’t Sit Down by David Bowie

"Dave would be on the guest list at my dinner party, for sure. I'd like to think he'd spontaneously start singing this playful ditty just before dessert is served and I would just have to join him and Salvador Dali on the makeshift dancefloor in the living room…"

Cathy

Creepy Feeling by Jelly Roll Morton

"This man'd be a right bag of filth but he'd be entertaining.

And, for a less niche choice, it would OBVIOUSLY be Elvis."

Ben

Dead Presidents II by Jay Z

"It would have to be Jay. 

We could do this on Singstar and then tuck into my signature beef wellington and mebs some Armand."

Rosie

"Countdown by Beyoncé / Grown Ocean by Fleet Foxes

Beyonce so that she can teach me to dance and Robin Pecknold because we are destined to be together. Obviously.

After dinner me and Beyonce would dance, and hopefully Robin would put a ring on it."

"Son of a Preacher Man by Dusty Springfield / Go With The Flow (Alternate Mix) by Pete Rock & CL Smooth

This is a really tough one. I've considered MANY a person but have whittled it down to two key ones.

Firstly, Dusty Springfield - she'd come in, we'd vibe out to 'spooky' and eat Moroccan food in a riad overlooking a warm Marrakech evening, then we'd probably do something awesome like be fed grapes by monkeys, then she'd sing me to sleep with son of a preacher man.

Then it would have to be Pete Rock and C.L Smooth. We'd hang out in my back garden (yard) eat some chicken and drink 40 oz's. Then I'd beatbox while they 'dropped' go with the flow. My friend Kunal would play the panpipes on the panpipes bit. I'd definitely be wearing an XXXXXXXL tshirt, denim shorts and an old stussy cap, backwards.

I wish this was possible.

So much."

Luiza

I'm going down by Bruce Springsteen

"The Boss, of course. I'm Going Down is my fave.

Preferably he would come to my dinner party looking like this."

Will

Warm Leatherette by Grace Jones

“Grace Jones would do the hula hoop for the duration of Warm Leatherette, then I would feed her raw meat – which I think she likes.”
