First dance is going to be You Make Me Feel Brand New by the Stylistics because I am exactly the kind of guy who will reach into the vault for the right song.
I went to a wedding in the late 90s where the first dance was to "Medium Pace" (speaking of Adam Sandler). This probably goes without saying, but they did not stay married 😂.
They’re going to play the Macarena because even the drunk uncle can dance to it.
My faves, in no particular order….
Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You - Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons. Pop perfection with a vocal performance for the ages.
That’s the Way of the World - Earth, Wind, and Fire - one of THE great American bands and a gorgeously arranged song that you can dance to. Hearts of Fire create love’s desire….
Golden Lady - Stevie Wonder at his finest. Nothing else need be said.
Beyond the Sea - Bobby Darrin. One of the great big band vocalists of all time.
All I’m going to say is , as a guy, at a wedding if you ask a woman up to dance to “Can’t Take My Eyes Of You” and don’t sing along, just hum the chorus quietly as you waltz her around the dance floor, you’ll score brownie points big time!!
My daughter is getting married in September, and I need to come up with a father-daughter dance number. So far everything I've suggested has been unequivocally denied. So if anybody's got any suggestions, I'm all yours.
I LOVE THIS! I’d add to the
“This does not mean what you think - please listen to more than the chorus list”
I will always love you.
ITS A BREAK UP SONG
JUST STOP
Such a valid fucking point!

Unquestionably
I’ll put up with “Celebration” and be grateful that the theoretical couple aren’t stupid enough to play “Too Hot” instead.
My First dance…and a song I think should be on your list: Never Tear Us Apart-INXS.
Fucking excellent in every way.
