Need Help - Wedding Songs!

February 3rd, 2006 · 11 Comments · Wedding

Ok, We need help.

I need to know in your opinion, the all time best wedding songs that will guarantee that everyone will get up and dance.

What song always makes you want to grab the nearest person and start cutting a rug like it will save your life?

Music of any era is needed to appeal to all age groups.

Please…Post the songs you think that no wedding should be without!
And once you’ve done that, go ask your friends, co-workers, and that creepy guy on the subway what music makes them move and post their answers.

We need this for our wedding, and maybe if we get a big list I can post the list for everyone in a single list.
If not, well…we can always play the chicken dance over, and over, and over…

Thanks in advance…And feel free to pass the word!
