Everyone has a choice of his/her favorite wedding party music. What makes any list beautiful is that it is both fun and addresses the generational likes of the entire wedding party. Here is just one list of “top 10” wedding party songs that hopefully will stand the test of time.
A significant ingredient of any wedding is dancing. It usually starts early and continues until the end of a long evening wedding party. Sometimes, with a good band or DJ, and a partying wedding crowd, several request songs can increase the celebration.
DJ’s often come equipped with an incredible choice of songs. That’s because weddings have to see to many generations both for listening enjoyement and for making folks up to dance. And the songs one’s parents will not like, and others their parents didn’t like, may now be the favorites of the bride and groom and their friends.
To make sure that “everyone” is happy with the song fare and that the dance floor is all the time occupied, here’s one top 10 wedding party songs list to consider.
High-energy songs (those with lots of movement) involves “Let’s Twist Again” (Chubby Checker), “Thriller” (Michael Jackson), “Staying Alive” (Bee Gees), “YMCA” (The Village People), “Old Time Rock and Roll” (Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band) and “Love Shack” (The B-52’s). These can also be used the coming day to help take off the pounds made during the wedding meal!
Line dancing is now always a necessity at weddings, as it permits for all to join in, even single guests. The “Electric Slide” (Grandmaster Slice) is the hands down favorite in this section.
One needs to change the pace with some slow songs, too. Favorites include “Unchained Melody” (Righteous Brothers) and “New York, New York” (Frank Sinatra). The latter makes sure that older generations are represented.
At last, there is the closing song. From experience and selections from others, “Last Dance” (Donna Summer) is the unique winner in this section.
To put these songs into context, lets’ see how they fit in on the “Top 200 Most Requested Songs of the Past Year,” a globally generated compilation based on online requests from mobile DJ’s site. The “top 10” list shown above is shown here, linked to the “top 200” list in numerical order.
