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.
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!

Absolute killers all
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.
