Must-play song list HELP!!!!

Hi girls!

So we have a swing band for the reception but they have 2 15 min. breaks that I'm trying to make play-lists for. My goal is to keep the party going, and switch up the genre of music since this will be the chance to do it. I dont need very many songs so I want the ones that I pick to be really good ones. Heres what I have so far. Any suggestions? What songs do you think tend to get everyone out on the floor? What songs are on your must play list? I'd really appreciate the help. Thanks!!!

Run around Sue - Dion And The Belmonts
Don't Stop Believing - Journey
Livin on a Prayer - Bon Jovi
Satisfaction - Rolling Stones
I got a feeling - Black Eyed Peas
Bad, Bad Leroy Brown - Jim Croce
Hey Soul Sister - Train
Say Hey (I love you) - Michael Franti

I would say maybe switch Runaround Sue with something else since it's a Lindy, and chances are a swing band is already going to play a few Lindies, so you should switch it up with something more modern like hip hop, or maybe something by the 4 seasons (mostly cha cha)

Re: Must-play song list HELP!!!!

Thanks for the input! I totally know what you mean and agree except that FH and I love dancing to runaround sue and I know that the band doesnt play that song...we'll see though. What about the others? Do you have any specific suggestions for fun songs from other genres? I dont think I listed to enough of them to know.

Thank you!!!
