Wedding Reception Playlist
So my wedding is in 10 days. As you can see, I am on the ball! We are doing the music ourselves, with an "ipod DJ" (it's actually my macbook). We have put together a list of possible songs and I thought I would put it to the crowd to see if we missed anything good. Remember that, unfortunately, weddings aren't about good music, they're about what music will get people on the dance floor.
The list is at hxxp://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pflesdvL9IZ-aw2xLWkoCRQ and is in no particular order. Hopefully tonight or tomorrow we're start putting it into some sort of play list order.

Hmm.. quick check on the necessary wedding reception songs..
Celebration.. check Shout... check Cha Cha Slide.. check Footloose... check Not sure of the order but, I'd assume 'Friends in Low Places' will be played when everyone is drunk. Seems to be when that one is cracked out. What... no YMCA???

The list of songs we chose for our reception. Not entirely sure which ones were played, but nothing that wasn't on the list got played. Everyone there kept asking if we chose the music and we were complemented the whole time. The bolded ones are the ones I remember getting played. but there were others from here.

There's actually a linedance we do to Total Eclipse of the Heart. Quote:
YMCA is on there.. between "What I like About You" and "Rockin' Robin" When we used to help our mom DJ weddings, Friends in Low Places was a great last song of the night.

First of all, this is for the reception, not background music. Second, you should be revoked of your manhood. Third, we have an acoustic guitarist playing music for the wedding ceremony and cocktails. Fourth, we will be playing Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock and other as background music during dinner.

And where, pray tell, is The Electric Six, "Danger! High Voltage" on that list?
"Fire in the disco Fire in the Taco Bell Fire in the Disco Fire in the Gates of Hell" Pure Genius. You should consider showing the song's video on a screen while the song plays.

If you play DMB - Two Step, I'd play it early.. Not really a type of song to dance too or get the crowd going given it's length. Just seems if you play it in the middle that the floor will clear out.

Yeah. It's a small possibility and it's more about an inside "joke" between Wade and I.

I would suggest If You Love Somebody (Set Them on Fire) by the Dead Milkmen...but then, I was not allowed anywhere near my reception playlist.

If you're going to play a DMB song, play "Crush" (not to be confused with "Crash Into Me"

The biggest hit at my wedding was Sir Mix-a-Lot's magnum opus, "Baby got Back." If things start to drag, I guarantee that tune will get things going again.
And if you're talking love, Barry White needs to say his piece. |

Not a lot of punk/rock on there, but I'm a big fan of Me First and the Gimme Gimmes version of "Nothing Compares 2 U".
Also, I think the OK Go song is listed twice on the spreadsheet. And if you're looking for a slow song, Ryan Adams does a nice cover of "Wonderwall".

Yeah. I wouldn't get a lot of dancing to punk/rock, thus the caveat in my first post. ![]() Yeah, a couple songs were listed twice. That can happen by accident, but they won't be twice on the final play list.

This is why we had no music at our wedding reception. Well, that and the fact that we didn't really HAVE a wedding reception. ![]()
