It's Friday, I'm in Love!
When you attend a wedding reception, what songs do you LOVE hearing?
You know when you're tearing up the dance floor and really breaking it down, what are those songs which make you really wanna get your groove on?
And then, once you've got a good thing going, a song you hate or seems so out of place comes on and you either A) run for a bathroom break, B) get another drink, C) take a break, or D) all of the above.
Which songs do you hope the DJ or band doesn't break out?
And don't you dare say The Electric Slide.
It has a very special place in my heart.
On our band list, here are the ones we stared (meaning they must play):
The Electric Slide (yes, really, and it's going to ROCK)
Any Motown songs
Some Jackson Five
Some Big Band Swing
Polkas (of course)
Horas (of course)
On the list, here are the ones we crossed out (meaning please do not play!):
California Girls, Katy Perry
The Cup of Life, Ricky Martin
I'll Be There, Mariah Carrey
Butterfly Kisses, Bob Carlisle
Daddy's Little Girl
Other than that, we left it up to their discretion to feel out the dance floor and play great music!
So what do you LOVE and HATE to hear at wedding receptions?
Creating a song list was the hardest part for us. You want to please everyone... we ended up doing a lot of motown !! big hit with our guests!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the Electric Slide! So fun!!! Sounds like a fun dancing time happening at your wedding! :) I'm just now starting to work on music as well!
ReplyDeleteI'd say BOO to The Wind Beneath My Wings. Lovely song I guess, but so over played. That cracks me up that you specifically nixed California Girls... haha!
Vogue

My Sharona
Love Shack
Walk this Way
You Spin me Round
Pump up the Jam
Single Ladies

I love all the cheesy songs like YMCA and the Macarena. They're the only songs you can get everyone to dance to. It's fun to make a fool of yourself sometimes.
ReplyDeleteAny Motown song, yes! I love Motown
ReplyDeleteI wanna rock and roll all night! and
ReplyDeleteIt's nothing, but a good time, how can i resist..... (which sounds kind of bad for a wedding but I love it. especially the drum part in the middle! HA HA HA HA
