"Partytime" is a song by 45 Grave, released as a single in 1984. The song was taken from their debut album, "Sleep in Safety", however the single version is shorter in length, and notably heavier with more smoothly flowing lyrics and a shorter introduction. This single version was included on the 1993 reissue of "Sleep in Safety".

"Partytime" is possibly 45 Grave's most well-known song. It was also included in the film The Return of the Living Dead and featured on the soundtrack. This version was shorter and heavier than both previous versions of the song. Another version, featured on "Autopsy", "Debasement Tapes" and "A Devil's Possessions" has a different vocal melody and is introduced with laughter and different lyrics.

The B-Side, "School's Out", is a cover the Alice Cooper song of the same name. It wasn't originally realeased on any album but was featured as a bonus track on the re-released version of Sleep in Safety. This version differs little from Cooper's original, but makes use of a keyboard.
