"Having a Party" is a song written by Bobby Massey and H. B. Barnum and originally recorded by the Osmonds.
[citation needed] It was used as a theme in the final series of UK Saturday night light entertainment show Noel's House Party in 1998-99.
The song describes a large but secret house party being thrown while the singers' parents are away, consisting mostly of singing and raucous dancing.
At the end, the parents unexpectedly arrive home early, forcing everyone to scramble and leaving a massive mess, even as the hosts promise another party "next week, same place, same time.
"[3] Merrill, Jay and Donny Osmond each take turns singing lead vocals on portions of the verses.
