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 )

Groove is in the Heart - Deelite

girl from mars

friends in Low places Garth Brooks

Just want to dance the night away......hate the song but it was the very last song on my wedding night and haved it ever since

And of course celebration & jubilation, I want the world to know that I'm in love with you

Can you tell my dad is a weding singer

I have a feeling that Dancing Queen may be a hit with this crowd.

and Neil Diamond is a floor filler
Crunchy Granola Suite

Got to have some Pulp then - Common People or Disco 2000? Something Changed is a great first dance but I guess they might have that one sorted!

You really need something for everyone regardless of the "theme".

Sweet Caroline is a fab song and good for aunties.

Reach by Steps is vomit inducing but guaranteed to get everyone on the floor.

SClub 7 even

oh lovin your work plumbum!

Yes, I take your point about catering for everyone. I'll let the bride decide how far she wants to go with that one!

Oh and how could we forget abit of .....................................................caught in a trap, we can't go on together with suspicious minds ELVIS!!

Hmmm...

That "put your hands on, put your haaands on" song (No idea what it's actually called, or who it's by though )

Just Like Heaven - The Cure

Duran Duran - Hungry Like the Wolf / Rio

The Killers - Somebody told me

Martha & The Muffins - Echo Beach

Oh and for real Cheese - gotta love a bit of Spandau Ballet "You are GOLD (gooold)...Always believe in your sooooul..."

YMCA

Anything you can do actions to.....

Sweet Home Alabhama

Agree there needs to be stuff catering to all guests - once attended a wedding where the music was almost entirely Oasis and a few other similar bands, because that was what the bride & groom liked. God it was dire.

Kylie - Can't get You Out Of My Head

La La La! La La La-la La La La La!

Or if you want to get the grannies moshing: Kaiser Chiefs - I Predict A Riot

"....you have the power to KNOW!... You're indestructabuuuuuuuuull....always belieeeeeviiiiiin...

you are GOLD!!"

yess

Real Gone Kid/Ship called Destiny - Deacon Blue
Mr Brightside - Killers
Sex on Fire - Kings of Leon
All the Single Ladies - Beyonce
Fight for this Love - Cheryl Cole
some euro-pop trash called Americano or something

All thse haved filled the dancefloor at recent parties I've been to...

Now he's in love with yoooooou, he's in love with yoooooouooooou!

December 1963 (oh what a night) - the four seasons
Sigh

ooh, I fancy a dance!

"Whooooooaaaaaaaaaoooo your sex is on fiiiiire" Is that Foo Fighters?
And that new funky one - Yolanda B Cool; We No Speak Americano, is awesome!
Wake me Up Before you Go Go - Wham
Leave Me Alone, I'm Lonely - Pink (I also like Please Don't Leave Me, but depending on the event, may not be appropriate!)
I've Got a Feeling - Black Eyed Peas
Summer of '69 - Bryan Adams?
Black Velvet - not sure who, but I love it
Baggy Trousers, House of Fun - Who were that band??
Jump Around - House of Pain

This may form part of the DJ's list for my wedding..
