I'm at work right now, so there'll be a longer list forthcoming, but sometime on the big day I better hear 'Can't Smile Without You.' There have been promises made...
we've been waiting for you to chime in... :)
Oh, how nice! Well, let me see what else I can come up with. Forgive me for duplicates, just consider them as extra votes, I'm not going cross-check all the above songs.
We'll start with the slow songs:
Waterdeep - Both of Us Will Feel the Blast
K-Ci & JoJo - All My Life
Frank Sinatra or Harry Connick, Jr - The Way You Look Tonight
Harry Connick, Jr - We Are In Love
Ann Murray - You Needed Me

Norah Jones - Don't Know Why
The Beatles - Oh Darling
Brian Adams - (Everything I Do) I Do It for You
Take That - Back for Good
Lionel Richie - Ballerina Girl
GLaDOS & Jonathan Coulton - Still Alive (just a joke; great song but not for a wedding reception)
Peter Cetera & Cher - After All
The Bee Gees - More Than A Woman
Keri Noble - Love Is All I Know
Destiny's Child - Emotion
Sting - Fields of Gold (lute version if possible)
Billy Joel - This Night
When selecting music for my own reception, I had the hardest time coming up with anything a) up-tempo and b) produced in the last 5 years. Let's see how much I can list here now:
Gnarls Barkley - Crazy
Jem - Save Me
My Chemical Romance - I'm Not Okay (I Promise) - again, great song, probably don't want to play at your reception though.
The Killers - Bones
Shakira - La Tortura
Justin Timberlake - What Goes Around...
Justin Timberlake - My Love
Duran Duran - A View To A Kill
Men Without Hats - The Safety Dance
Etta James - Roll With Me Henry
Michael Jackson - Rock With You
Michael Jackson - Don't Stop Till You Get Enough
Elton John - I'm Still Standing
Switchfoot - Might Have Ben Hur
Talking Heads - Burning Down the House
Joe Esposito - You're The Best
Franke Potente & Thomas D - Wish (Komm Zu Mir)
Whigfield - When I Think of You
East 17 - Hold My Body Tight
Scatman John - Scatman John (Ski-Ba-Bop-Ba-Dop-Bop)
Okay, now I'm starting to get silly and come up with nothing but songs from movies and German discoteques; plus it's time to get ready for work. I think that's enough from me, though. If Eric wants to just pop in his 80s mix tapes, that would be fine, too.
Also...
Earth, Wind & Fire - September
Earth, Wind & Fire - Let's Groove Tonight
Mary J Blige - Be Without You
ACDC - You shook me all night long. Oh, wait! That's the honeymoon song. Never mind!
Dan
HA!
kodachrome - paul simon
rock the casbah - the clash
