Our first date was on New Years' Eve, so although our wedding is in July, our first song is What Are You Doing New Years' Eve. Our band thinks that is quite funny.
"so amazing" by luther vandross is what he wants, i want same song, but the remake by beyonce & stevie wonder... i guess we've got some time to think about it...
We were high school sweethearts once upon a time so our fisrt dance song was a nice cover of Playground Love (originally by Air, covered by Phoenix) - The original Playground Love is the song that weaves through the film The Virgin Suicides... It's a great tune :) The cover by Phoenix is more acoustic/rustic sounding, but the original is pretty dreamy (just maybe harder to dance to)
Just to bump this topic up and also to share my excitement that we finally picked our first song!!!
It's going to be "I Have and Always Will" by Dave Barnes. It's a perfect slow dance song for us since FI doesn't dance AT ALL (it's quite hilarious actually to see him try...) It's the first song I've had FI listen to that he finally loved, yay!
Here are the lyrics: ( I tried to copy the lyrics, but it put in the extra html code, so I just posted the link below)
We're planning to use That's All by Michael Buble. I love the lyrics and it's really slow so that we can just hold on to eachother :) while at the same time being short enough that no one gets bored.
I know this post has been done before...but there's might be some new ones out there.
What's your first dance song?
We are having a heckuva time figuring this one out!
Thanks!

We also thought about:
Come Fly with me - Michael Buble
Fly Me to the Moon - Frank Sinatra
But we are doing a choreographed Foxtrot, and we're getting married away, hence the "Fly" songs

We weren't going to have a first dance because we're both a little shy about it, but I think this song sums us up pretty well... and it's short!
