Must have dance songs

Samtam, on November 18, 2016 at 15:52 Posted in Wedding reception 0 16

Hello Brides and Grooms! I want to know what your "must have" dance songs are for your DJ! What are the songs that you will stop mid-conversation for and say "be right back!" so you can break it down on the dance floor?

Shut Up and Dance!

For us, our fave song is "Shut Up and Dance" by Walk the Moon. We told our DJ to make sure that we were around when he played it because it's our dance song and we had been waiting so long to dance to it! (I was so worried he was going to play it when I was in the washroom or something!) My husband is not much of a dancer but we busted a move and the dance floor was filled with our guests!

I also had to have "Wannabe" by Spice Girls and had an awesome time dancing to that with my girls! Such a classic! Smiley kiss

    Our DJ promised us anything on the do not play will NOT get played! No matter who requests it on the day of Smiley smile I will make sure that a variety is played, but it's may darn wedding, so I don't want to hear anything I consider a crappy song Smiley winking

    Your "Shut up and Dance" might and up on the list too...it is stuck in my head now!

    Yes to Pump Up the Jam! Good call! Sounds like you guys will be having a fun night! The "do not"play list is also a good idea. Nothing will kill a good dance buzz quicker than a song you hate!

    Oh there are so many! We love dancing, and have talked to our DJ about an 80's 90's dance party *with a few more current hits mixed in*

    Our must play songs:

    I melt with you- Modern English

    Bust a Move-Young MC

    Pump Up the Jam - Technotronic

    Good Vibrations- Marky Mark

    Let's Dance- Bowie

    Jump Around- House of Pain

    Jealous- Chromeo (new, but I added it to the list after an in-car dance party on my drive home today)

    There are a million more, it will be hard to fit them all! If anyone thinks of a great classic I might miss tell me! Smiley smile

    We also have a pretty extensive list of do-not play songs at include pretty much any organized dance song that isn't the time warp, most country music and drake.

    We will want lots of the fun dancing songs that are played at weddings! I want the YMCA obviously and the macarena.... But I love most music and we havn't talked that much about the song lists yet. We want music people will dance to... uptown funk is a great example of the type of dance music we want played!

    80's music is the best! So much fun to dance to! Haha and that is true that it's good to have some that you're not attached to so you can rest your feet for a minute!

    For me it's old school 80's music! Lol I so might be dating myself right now! Ha! I lose my mind everytime Push It by Salt N Pepa comes on! But I love tonnes of music so I'll get up for Pitbull like I would for Bon Jovi. But I know I can't stand Celebration by Cool N The Gang for the "Feeling Hot Hot Hot" songs! I've heard them so many times at weddings they drive me insane! Lol That's my sit down and take a break songs ! Lol
