What gets you on the dance floor at a wedding (and don't say Sweet Caroline)?

[AnitaBush]

Need some help compiling a list for the DJ.

Suggest me some choooooons!!

(please )

I love a bit of Neil Diamond

Having to much to drink and tripping over someone's handbag probably.

Wham

Tiger Feet

Indie stuff (but most wedding djs don't play much of the stuff I like)

It should have been me

We are Family

Dancing Queen

Indie stuff is what I'm after.

It's not for me, it's for a colleague who's been left in the shit by a cancelling DJ with 2 weeks to go.

We are working on Plan B.

She likes the indie stuff - snow patrol, Keane etc and synthy stuff like Depeche Mode.

Not so much with the Rock but all genres considered.

And there will be Queen.

Any thoughts?

Come on Eileen (Dexy's) and Dizzy(can't remember who that's by), Abba and the Bee Gees.

I am not at all sad, honest.

Build me up buttercup

grease megamix
Abba megamix

Erasure

Its not a matter of being sad, but floor fillers

Good suggestions...keep em coming

(ROFL at Megamix Girl )

Groove is the Heart by Deee-Lite

In that case you MUST have:
Tainted Love - Soft Cell
Blue Monday - New Order
Personal Jesus - Depeche Mode
Eloise - The Damned
Living On The ceiling - Blancmange

Love Shack - B52's is a crowd pleaser.

You lot are gooood!

Yes to Groove Is In The Heart and Love Shack

Probably Shiney Happy People by REM too.

The Cure - Friday I'm In Love

Something by The Human League but not sure which ones are dancey. Snow Patrol and Keane are not really dancey.

We need to think of the aunties too...

Old favorites

stone roses shes bangs the drums/elephant stone
charlatans ; the only one i know
happy mondays (step on esp)
killers Mr Brightside

fairly current ones:

Drums : lets go surfing
One night only : say you don't want it

9 to 5 dolly parton

Bit of Tom Jones for the aunties? But, how old are they, they may be aunties of the 70's, and want Abba etc.

Aunties don't 'do' alternative ime, which is why you can think about the 'Dancing Queen' suggestions listed earlier in the thread.

xfm did A top 100 indie floor fillers which was FAB

MIGHT have to mooch around the website though

Must admit every auntie i know does a meAN YMCA
