Bust a move reminded me of this: I shall be singing this and embarrassing others around me the rest of the day.
Oh my God I laughed my ass off. I've never heard that one before but it is definitely a keeper. I really like this idea of requesting a song on the invitation. I might have to steal a big hunk of your playlist if it is as awesome as you describe it. My aunts and uncles are all really old and I would be delighted to blow their minds.
So many awesomely bad dance music from the 80's/early 90's. This makes me want to have an 80's/90's party.
I own a disc jockey company and I specialize in weddings and Stag & Does, and have done over 100 of them myself. If I were to give you an all-time guarantee for filling a dance floor, the best would be: You Shook Me all night Long- AC/DC Footloose- Kenny Loggins The Way You make me Feel- Michael Jackson Hey Fat Boy- Max-a-million Creep- TLC Baby Got Back- Sir Mix-A-Lot Black Betty- Ram Jam Brown Eyed Girl (ugh)- Van Morrison Yeah- Usher Say Hey- Michael Franti & Spearhead Staying Alive- The Beegees Stuck in the Middle- Stealer's Wheel Cream- Prince Shout- Otis Day & The Knight OR The Isley Brothers Honky Tonk Women- Rolling Stones Jamming- Bob Marley Shoop- Salt N Peppa Living on a Prayer- Bon Jovi 100% Pure Love- Crystal WatersVogue- Madonna All Night Long- Lionel Ritchie Don't Stop Believing (most requested song EVER- Journey Bizarre Love Triangle- New Order Home Alone- R. Kelly & Keith Murray Bust a Move- Young MC Pour Some Sugar on Me- Def Leppard Return of the Mack- Mark Morrison
I almost forgot about this! Lots of you have already posted many of the highlights (especially my favorite 80s tunes) but here are a few that weren't listed yet and of course, the inappropriate Oh - and I also have quite a collection of for the pre-drunk sappy portion of the reception if you are interested.
Y'all are seriously fantastic. I've gotten a ton of great ideas from your posts. I also got some interesting songs from playing Connect with some friends. That gaming system actually uses some pretty good "party" songs as background music. Mya, I'll take those sappy songs now. I have a couple in my mind, like the "you look wonderful tonight" song. I can't think of many, though.
I'll just list a few since I don't know if anybody would be interested in watching the videos: Something in the Way She Moves or How Sweet it is be loved by you - James Taylor I don't want to miss a thing - Aerosmith Harvest Moon or Heart of gold - Neal Young In my life - Beatles Follow you follow me - Phil Collins She's always a woman or Just the way you are - Billy Joel Your Song - Elton John I will follow you into the dark - Death Cab for Cutie Everlong - Foo Fighters Just like heaven - Cure
