I'm trying to put together a good playlist for the reception (once the musicians have packed up their instruments and settled in to eat tasty foods), and it's becoming rapidly apparent that my iTunes is severely lacking in this department.

i think ours was more informed by "music that's significant to us" than specifically dance-y, but i can look up the list when i get home.

(of course, we also didn't end up using it, because elh was having such a good time they just played until the bitter end. which means i didn't get to play "blood wedding" (oysterband) at my reception... which disappoints me but is probably for the best :)

We're hoping to go for that, but I know we've got family and friends who'd like to dance. And hm...maybe I'll look that up.

It's hard to go wrong with an '80s mix.

stealthmuffin June 11 2009, 23:18:14 UTC

Yes, but what kind? Hair bands nonstop might be a bad idea.

Here is the list that we gave to our DJ ( ... )

Also, there is always the Imperial March. That is a good dance song.

Everybody hurts by REM is also great for weddings!

You're not serious.

Are you?

Oh shit you're serious. Only if you and I get to dance to it.

Thanks for the rest of the suggestions! I'm slowly putting together a playlist -- I was thinking "Don't Stop Me Now" instead of "Killer Queen," though.
