For the album by Maki Nomiya, see Party People (album).

"Party People" is a song by the band Parliament from their 1979 album Gloryhallastoopid. Over ten minutes long, it was released as both a two-part 7" single and a 12" record. It reached No. 39 on the Billboard R&B chart. Stylistically, "Party People" is in more of a disco vein than the funk songs for which Parliament is best known. According to music writer Rickey Vincent, it was the band's "self-admitted worst record ever."[1]
