Posted: Wed Sep 17, 2008 7:24 pm Post subject: songs that keep you on the dancefloor
Right guys, I need some help here.
I want to give the DJ at my wedding a playlist (not that Im a control freak or anything ) He can control most of the music but I need a bit of input to ensure that the dancefloor is filled for a good part of the evening.
Can you start a list of songs that you just 'have' to get up and dance to if you hear them
I can start the list off
Lynard Skinnard - sweet home alabama
Mark Bolan - the wee song from movie billie elliot _________________ "In a perfect world, every dog would have a home and every home would have a dog."

LOL...DJ's are usually good at gauging their "crowd" and keeping people on the floor.. Hubby has been (and still is) a DJ for the last 20odd years..and he can still keep people on the dance floor..whether its 5th birthday partys or 50th's, weddings or retirements..
I can sit him in front of the computer if you want a list.. _________________

Just ask one of your bridesmaids or dancing chums to dance. When the girls start dancing the boys will follow.
Personally, The Hucklebuck by Coast to Coast does it for me.
