    I know there's been a lot of buzz about ipod wedding receptions on here lately, and since that's what we're doing i was wondering if I could get some help...

    those of you that have chosen your own music - what songs really helped get your party going? and what got your guests dancing?

    thanks much! :)

    I have been keeping a list of songs that come up on my iPod that I think would be good dancing songs.  My big issue at my brothers wedding was that a lot of the music was a very odd tempo.  Too fast for slow dancing, but too slow for fast dancing.  

     

    I plan on including some more "traditional" songs that will definitely get people up to dance, but thus far some of my more common songs are:

     

    Al Green- "Let's Stay Together"

    Stevie Wonder- "Signed, Sealed, Delivered"

    Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons - "Oh What a Night"

    Huey Lewis and the News -"Back in Time"

    Eric Clapton- "Wonderful Tonight"

     

    But then I've also got some fun covers of songs.  I bought this cd from BBC Radio 1 for their 40th Anniversary.  They had 40 different bands cover songs from the past 40 years.  So I have some cover songs on there too:

     

    Kaiser Chiefs- "Flowers in the Rain"

    Lily Allen- "Don't Get Me Wrong"

    The Streets- "Your Song"

    The Pigeon Detectives- "Power of Love"

    Amy Winehouse- "Cupid"

     

    I also have some other random songs that I like a lot.  

     

    Kevin Spacey- "That's All" (From the Beyond the Sea soundtrack)

    and my fiance and I are huge Star Trek nerds, so we are using some Brent Spiner songs, specifically "It's a Sin" and "Zing! Went the Strings of My Heart"

     

    Other fun songs on my list:

    "Kiss at the End of the Rainbow" from a Mighty Wind soundtrack

    and there will be a lot of instrumental Battlestar Galactica music played during dinner!
