Let the good times roll
This might suit. It gives what seems to be the essence of what Rodowicz was singing about.
As in this extract from the Urban dictionary:
Laissez les bons temps rouler!" is a Cajun expression meaning "Let the good times roll!" It strongly conveys the "joie de vivre" ("joy of living") attitude that pervades south Louisiana. It is mostly associated with New Orleans. (THE BEST CITY IN THE WORLD!)
I'm going to New Orleans for Mardi Gras so I can Laissez les bon temps roulez!

Comment: "Enjoy the party czy Let's have some fun było fajne, ale tu rewelacyjnie udało się oderwać od dosłowności, znajdując jednocześnie utwór wywierający podobne wrażenie na czytelniku docelowym."

Inna możliwość: skoro po polsku jest cytat z Rodowicz, to może by zagrał cytat z Sheryl Crow o podobnym wydźwięku:
