  1 0 I favor bluesy music with a good beat for flexible dancing (supporting both people who know how to dance and people who free-form). "Ain't Superstitious" is a classic. "Walk this Way" (Aerosmith) "Love Shack" (B-52s) for when people are a bit drunk For a touch of irony, how about "Single Ladies"? I wouldn't play it first but it might be a fun part of the mix. CleverScreenName answered in Arts & Music over 2 years ago | Report 4 comments by Megan Seling, T, and CleverScreenName… 0 0 It seems like "Single Ladies" has been played at every wedding I have been at since the song's release, and every time it comes on people (or at least the drunk bridesmaids) flip out and start dancing like maniacs. Megan Seling commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 Megan tells the truth. The song is poised to be the new "Electric Slide" based on the number of girls attempting to re-enact the video at the wedding I went to last weekend. T commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 Plainly I missed the boat on "irony". We are full-speed toward "the song that everyone expects; if you don't play it drunk bridesmaids will assault the DJ". CleverScreenName commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 Anything by the B-52s is a good time. dwight moody commented over 2 years ago | Report Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  1 0 This might be for when everyone is already drunk, but I was at a wedding and the DJ played Apache (Jump On It)by the Sugar Hill gang, and it brought out the most hilarious, worst dancing that I have ever seen.

  0 0 "twist & shout" - the go-to vanilla dj dance song for vanilla weddings. Also a go-to for the 40 and under set (thematically related to a wedding too) : "Lovefool" - (cardigans?) on the other hand, if want to be remembered for your mix, you could go with "dance motherfucker dance" - violent femmes Rev.Enant answered in Arts & Music over 2 years ago | Report 1 comment by CleverScreenName… 0 0 There's vanilla, and there's flavorless. Twist and Shout"'s last hurrah was "Ferris Bueller's Day Off", IMO. You're better off with Motown.
