Dancing My Shoes Off

Dancing My Shoes Off

We have our band, and I’m so excited! I really wasn’t sure what we were going to do if my friend moved away and they weren’t going to be able to play. I love going to see them whenever they’re playing in Seattle, and they always do a great job at getting people out on the dance floor. That and they have a nice mix of songs that includes current popular music as well as all those songs that you just want to belt out at the top of your lungs while dancing with all of your friends (and your new husband!).

As I was listening to Pandora the other day, “Sweet Caroline” came on the station and reminded me of some of my favorite songs to dance to at weddings, and I can’t wait until we’re dancing to these at our wedding. I have no idea how many of these Mr. EB will actually be on the dance floor for—he dances to keep me happy, not because he likes it—but my plan is to rock the dance floor as long as my feet hold out.

Here are just a few of the songs that I love to rock out to:

“Sweet Caroline” - Neil Diamond

“Sweet Home Alabama” - Lynyrd Skynyrd

“Build Me Up Buttercup” - The Foundations

“You Shook Me All Night Long” - AC/DC

“Sweet Child O’ Mine” - Guns N’ Roses

And of course, the song that should be played at all weddings—I don’t even care what anyone else thinks about it: “Shout” - The Isley Brothers

What are some of your must-play reception songs?

Good choices! Here are a few more that I love to hear at weddings: Footloose by Kenny Loggins, Cotton Eye Joe by Rednex, Good Vibrations by Marky Mark, We are Family by Sister Sledge, & Cupid Shuffle by Cupid.

Those are good choices, ladies! Mine would have to be “All Day & All of the Night” The Kinks / “Twist & Shout” The Beatles / “Life is a Highway” Rascal Flatts / “Walk this Way” Run DMC & Aerosmith / “I love Rock & Roll” Joan Jett…

My must have is Journey, Don’t Stop Believin’. Your choices are great and will definitely keep your guests moving all night!

Great choices! I think we had all of those at our hometown reception with the exception of GNR and AC/DC - Epic dancing ensued!

Great choices, I heart “Sweet Caroline” in a big, big way
The Beatles’ “Obla-di, Obla-da” knocked out socks off at our reception, so much fun to dance/sing too!

‘Eye of the Tiger’ is one that my high school girlies and I belt out at weddings.

Those are ALL on my must play list. Especially AC/DC. FI and his best man were in an AC/DC cover band back in the day, so there’s no escaping it!

@sparks - LOVE Journey! There’s nothing that will get my brother to start dancing (and of course serenading everyone) more than Don’t Stop Believing! Well, it’s either that song, or the flowing beverages
