For Mr. Apple and I music is key. We love to listen to a broad list of music genres from alternative, to jazz, country, blues, hard rock, r & b, pop, and classic rock. We’re working on a list right now and have a nice array of selected slow songs, but are having difficultly finding fast dance songs. His parents are quite conservative so no “shake your rump” songs would be appropriate. I think Mr. Apple informed me his aunts like to “cha cha,” so we’re using Michael Buble’s “Sway” as an alternative song.
We also have a couple of jazz musician friends (trumpet players) who are helping with our wedding song list.
Does anyone have any suggestions on great fast dance songs that are tame? HELP!
Here is a few of our songs on our wedding ipod list.

sure - I’ve been working on this recently too. Oldies are always good ~ Dancing Queen, Respect, Stayin Alive, Ain’t no Mountain, Beatles, Elvis (Little less conversation is a good one), Grease.
Some others I think we are using:
Counting Crows - Accidentally in love; B52 - Love Shack; Van Morrison - Brown Eyed girl; Smashmouth - I’m a believer; Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Love Rollercoaster; Romantics - What I like About You; Beyonce - Crazy in Love; Jennifer Lopez - Let’s get Loud, Waiting for Tonight; Madonna - Music, Ray of Light; The Wiseguys - Start the Commotion
I also am a big techno fan so I have a bunch ~ Darude Sandstorm is always great! Let me know if these are similar to what you are looking for and I can email you some more. Hope this helps
