Limbo Rock
Shout
Hands Up

Cotton Eyed Joe
Locomotion
Electric Slide
Brick House
Jump Around
Hokey Pokey
YMCA
Humpty Dance
Conga Line
No songs by Brittany Spears
Macarena
Lou Bega Mambo #5
No rap

only one song-Electric Slide.

I considered putting Let's Get Loud on my do not play list b/c I am tired of hearing it at every wedding. I didn't include it b/c I'd heard my band play it and liked the way they did it. I didn't request it, I just didn't mention it. I don't know whether they did it but I don't care because I know they played what my guests and I wanted.

So far:

No group dance songs
No Meatloaf
No Jennifer Lopez
I Will Survive
Celine Dion
Barbara Streisand
Cotton Eye Joe
No hip hop song that refers to women as 'b!tches' or 'hos'
Celebration

Basically, we're trying to stay away from every song that has been played a million times at every wedding.....

lol well this should have been (IMO) at my friend's wedding.

Kanye West's golddigger (she married a 2nd year med student)

I thought it was inappropriate.

I also agree!!!!!

Anything by Celine Dion
Anything by a boy band, Jessica Simpson, or any other person like that.

A BIG no play for the song 'Mambo Number 5'
I can't stand that song, and I don't know why.

Most Country songs.

Josh Grobin

We are family

If you don't ask for them to not be played, are they played automatically???

HATE I will survive, but since I used to be a competitive ballroom dancer, Mambo #5 brings me back to my perfect swing days, and Lets get loud is an awesome cha-cha (my favorite to cha cha to!!!!)

Wow you've included some of my must play music

Does anyone feel like Bridezilla making so many requests for the music???

I do but it is soooo important. My DJ is great but he did try to convince me to allow at least 1 organized dance because people will 'expect' it and say the DJ sucked if he doesn't do anything.

I do not feel guilty asking for a play or do not play list. My band is very expensive. They will play what I ask them to play.

No line/group dances. People in tuxes and floor length gowns look ridiculous doing the chicken dance or Cotton Eye Joe. This is a wedding, not a sweet 16 or a Bar Mitzvah

No, because a bad song can really kill the mood!!!!!

We didn't have any organized dancing (even though I would've liked the Electric Slide we ran out of time) and our reception was great.

Now, if I may just complain about one particular group dance - The Cha Cha Slide. My DH refers to this song as 'Simon Says for Idiots'. Every time it's on he has me in stitches making fun of it.

Start to go home

Don't do that! You'll hurt yourself!!!'
