Reader egray:  ”Okay elaney, post request:  what are the favorite songs to dance to at weddings?  Besides your favorite by Beyonce, of course.”

Great question Reader egray!  There is nothing more fun than having a little vino and cutting a rug at a wedding, as we were reminded this weekend at Reader Ace’s wedding.  Our favorites?  ”Build Me Up Buttercup,”  ”Keep Me Hanging On,” and “Be Young, Be Foolish,”  to name a few!  Help Reader egray out and let her know what you wanna hear!

  • I love to hear “You Look Wonderful Tonight”, “What a Wonderful World” and “My Girl” for the cute slow ones… anything Michael Buble makes me think of weddings… love to dance to older songs like “Summer of ’69″, “Dancing Queen” and “Love Shack” mixed in with some fun newer ones (depending on if there’s a band or a dj).

    Last weekend I was at a wedding where we are positive they played the bride’s “do not play” list… and one time I was at a wedding where everyone did the “Superman that hoooo” dance and I was like uhhh NEVER at my wedding.

  • I love dancing to Hey Ya. but that’s just me!

  • September is pretty much my favorite wedding song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfLEc09tTjI. Also love Prince, Jackson 5 and beach music. Yay, Egray!

    JLal, you know I love any Outkast songs!

  • Here are my favorites:

    Mustang Sally- Great song, lots of energy

    Land of 1000 Dances- Lots of energy, great replacement for Shout

    Lets Get it On – Its Marvin, Its a wedding, we all know what is going to happen later in the evening. State the Obvious.

    Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I’m yours- Enough Said

    Carolina in my Mind- Slow song, Since McEver went to North Carolina

    Shooting Star- The Manhattans – Great slow song

    One song that should be played is Lady in Red since the song is about a “woman of the night”

  • I meant to say Lady in Red should NOT be played.

  • “Dancing in the Moonlight” King Harvest – even if you don’t feel like dancing, when you hear the first few notes you want to grab a boy and dance!!

  • SEPTEMBER!!!! and “dancing in the moonlight”,
    “hey ya”, anything by marvin and “build me up, buttercup” – which have already been listed. i loooove wedding music!

    elaney and isa, you were so right…you definitely can not tell that i got stuck in the rain ;)

    ace and egray, CONGRATS!!! WOO WOO!!

  • “aint to proud to beg”, “signed sealed delivered” and this is totally dorky, but “shout”

    oh and “be young be foolish and be happy” and if you are from/went to carolina, “carolina girls”, “lets stay together”, “I can’t help myself (sugar pie, honeybunch), “Hallelujah, I love her so”

  • I knew I could count on elaney readers! Thanks!

  • k, so I was at a wedding that played lady ga-ga poker face and it was pretty much off the chain :)

  • So my pilates teacher’s daughter is getting married and she -the mother of the bride- only requested “I like Big Butts” for the wedding. She’s a special lady.
    Aint too Proud to Beg and Hey Ya are just the best!

  • Don’t Stop Believing at reader Ace’s wedding was a great way to end the night.

    If there’s a DJ, the best song ever is Bust A Move.

    I’m also a fan of rap music at very white Christian weddings.

  • Boots with the fur!!!
