Wedding invite asking what song would get us up on the dance floor??

[StacysMomMandyJessiesEx]

All I can think of is Dexys ‘come on Eileen’

Any others??

I'm all for a bit of cheese at weddings but the birdie song is a bridge waaaaaay too far.

Billie Jean
The Shoop Shoop song - Cher
Baby one more time - Britney Spears

Has anyone suggested Insomnia by Faithless?

Oops upside your head!

Ah so many, if I’ve had a few tipples and I need to show off my ‘amazing’ dance skills I request Beyonce single ladies, and yes, I do know the entire dance.

Let's Dance by Bowie.

I agree. Especially at a fabulous child free wedding. You might as well go the whole nine yards and ask for Baby Shark.

Dancing in the street - Bowie and Jagger

Mr Brightside has to be the last song. It is the one played at clubs just before lights go up and they start kicking everyone out at the end of the night.

I'd definitely head to the bar whilst Mr Brightside was on.

The conga
Blame it on the boogie
Macarena
Never forget - take that
Don’t stop believing
Proud Mary
Ain’t no mountain high enough

Johnny B Goode.

I put down Donna Summer I feel Love!

Soul Limbo by Booker T & The MGs (the Test Match Special music) I can't hear it without jumping up and shimmying like a twat.

Happy
Uptown funk

Hey ya!

Get into the Groove
Groove is in the Heart
Pretty much anything by Wham
Walk this Way
Tainted Love
Blue Monday
Cake by the Ocean
Move s Like Jagger

Tiger Feet
Walk Like an Egyptian
Time Warp
I Bet That You Look Good on the Dancefloor
Laid by James
Your Sex is on Fire
Teenage Dirtbag
This Charming Man
Parklife
Killing in the Name
Place your Hands by Reef
Tubthumping by Chumbawamba

Several Stevie Wonder bangers. I Wish is great
Also a Northern Soul number like Do I Love you.

Deee-lite - Groove is in the heart

Some of the songs mentioned have lyrics which don't fit in to the wedding spirit IMHO. Anything along the lines of failed relationships, unrequited love etc.

They're not asking for first dance suggestions so I don't think it matters. A group of my DH friends have all had Papa Roach- Last Resort at some point in the evening during their wedding receptions, definitely not in the wedding spirit but their group and partners have all flooded to the dancefloor when it came on.

It’s not about the lyrics it’s about whether it’s a good dance tune.

@Lemonwoe

Out of interest, what song do you have as the last dance in England?

'New York, New York' by Sinatra, with arms around each other's shoulders and high-kicking for some reason

I went to a lovely wedding where they finished with 'One Day Like This' by Elbow and everyone was slurring singing the 'throw those curtains wide' bit at the tops of their voices. Very moving!

I nominate Crazy in Love by Beyoncé
