Must Play Songs at Reception

Hi Ladies,

I am trying to compile a list for the band...what are some songs that you definitely want played at your reception?

Thanks so much!

some must play songs: build me up buttercup; devil with the blue dress, disco inferno, barry white my first, last, everything, sade by your side

That is a tough question.

Here are a few older songs that are going on our play list:
Burning Down the House (Talking Heads)
Sugar, Sugar (The Archies)
I'm a Believer (Smash Mouth)
La Bamba (Los Lobos)
Come Together (Macy Gray)
Brass in Pocket (The Pretenders)
Babylon (David Gray)
Rag Mama Rag (The Band)

A suggestion our DJ made -- and I like -- is to look for newer versions of old songs. ITunes is a big help if you want to explore that angle. You look up the song name and you see all the different artists that took a crack at it over the years. Be warned: you can burn through hours doing this!
