I’ve had to YouTube a lot of these! So many memories as I’ve heard most but not known who they were by!

The Nolans - I'm in the Mood for Dancing. This was my choice for a wedding invite request, and it was a floor filler :) Some great ones here. How I'd love to be in the middle of a packed wedding dance floor right now!

Mammyloveswine · 13/06/2021 10:25

Footloose is ive put! (Maybe it's the same wedding!)

If you’re in Scotland it is the law to end with “bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Lomond”

Ravenclawsome · 13/06/2021 10:33

Beautiful Sunday so everyone can do the Slosh would be the winner here.

StacysMomMandyJessiesEx · 13/06/2021 11:04

No, not in Scotland. So many fab songs!

The bride loved Busted as a child so makes sense to have some of theirs on a playlist

Either the Kylie or KC and the Sunshine Band version of Celebration.

BlessedBeTheFruitCake · 13/06/2021 11:42

Everyone got up to Is This The Way To Amarillo at our wedding, I can still remember all the little kiddies walk-dancing around the dance floor.

PeskyRooks · 13/06/2021 12:13

AAA-GA-DOO -DOO-DOO!!

namechange6754 · 13/06/2021 12:18

The first page of responses has reminded me why I hate weddings 🙈

gotalottolose · 13/06/2021 12:22

White Stripes - Fell in Love with a Girl

To be honest, I’d probably put something really depressing down just to see if they actually play it. Smokers Outside the Hospital Ward? Cats in the Cradle? Making Whopee?

Dear Future Husband - Megan Trainer
Pata Pata - Miriam Makeba
Uptown Funk - Bruno Mars/Mark Ronson

Footsteps on the dancefloor Womack and Womack

Somebody else's guy Jocelyn Brown

Sun is shining Bob Marley

Here's a few that might get those who remember the 70s moving:

Tiger Feet by Mud
Come on Feel the Noise - Slade
Hi Ho Silver Lining - Jeff Beck
September - Earth Wind and Fire
Kung Fu Fughting - Carl Douglas (not the easiest to dance to, but will get drunken men of a certain age reliving the primary school playground)
Smoke on the Water - Deep Purple (for the air guitarists)
The Boys are Back in Town - Thin Lizzy
Whole Lotta Rosie - AC/DC (and watch that Angus strut!)
Plus most of the Saturday Night Fever and Grease soundtracks
