Sadly, wedding songs are constantly under scrutiny. First, there's the conundrum of whether to bet on a live band or a DJ. The live band's equipment could fail, the DJ could completely ignore your playlist, the live band's lead singer could become too friendly with the open bar, or technology could fail your DJ. All manner of disaster can face the music selection of a wedding reception, but the most uncomfortable misfortune is a playlist or set list that no one can dance to. Even the most tenacious best man can't liven up a dance floor that has been cursed with an unfortunate musical selection. Don't make friends and family suffer through awkward swaying and bopping to tracks like "Sweet Caroline", "Signed Sealed Delivered", or "Livin' on a Prayer". Instead, here are some fairly dance-able standards that can liven up a reception's dance floor:
•"I Believe in a Thing Called Love" — The Darkness
•"I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)" — Whitney Houston
•"Come to Me" — The Goo Goo Dolls
•"Uptown Funk" — Mark Ronson feat. Bruno Mars
•"Footloose" — Kenny Loggins
•"Footloose" — Kenny Loggins
•"P.Y.T." — Michael Jackson
•"Island in the Sun" — Weezer
•"Galway Girl" — Ed Sheeran
•"How Long Will I Love You" — Jon Boden, Sam Sweeney, & Ben Coleman
•"Jessie's Girl" — Rick Springfield
