Some say you shouldn't fiddle with the classics, but we here at the Times Union threw caution to the wind and decided to honor the 1986 music video "Let's Have a Party, Albany" with a 30th anniversary reboot.

The song, written by veteran broadcaster David Allan and performed by the Sharks, was created to coincide with Albany's Tricentennial celebration that year. The video ran on WTEN, and was offered on vinyl with proceeds benefiting Hope House.
