Song you're excited to dance to at a wedding reception

I'm compiling a list of 'must have' songs for the reception.

What's one of your favorite songs to hear at receptions? 'The Boys are Back'? 'Aaja Naachle'?

I figure we can swap good Hindi / bhangra / top 40 / hip hop ideas here!

    And to answer my own question...

    Apart from Bhangra songs...I'd have to say one of my favorites is Bell Biv DeVoe's 'Poison'...that snare is the best!

    Its probably so far away for us that I am sure, our song choices are goig to keep changing.  So I have decided to hold off on this till we know when the wedding is.  I really don't have a favorite song that must be included and neither does he.  I think we will include some Frank Sinatra for sure, a lot of Hindi songs, and Bhangra as well, but nothing specific. 

    I just want to avoid all Himesh Reshamiya songs, and anything that is really bad.

    I am really looking forward to some Michael Buble! It's so cheesey, but I love him!

    And I totally agree with Hina, I am going to ask to avoid the Himesh Reshamiya songs and songs along those lines that make you say "what on earth is this garbage" when you hear it, haha!

    Our dj played a lot of hindi filmi music -
    jab we met, remix, aaja nachle, bhangra, calypso (caribbean), don, Love Ki Aaj, some oldies for the sentimentalists, and instrumental (not for dancing, but for eating)

    plug your nose and sing like himesh - yeah, that was on the don't play list as well as any sort of country western line dancing, or the macarena!

    We have a good mix of hindi and hip hop, top 40 and slow songs on our list. It helps that my brother used to DJ and is pretty good with picking music for occasions like this. All hip hop will be edited and as the adults start to head home as the night grows later, it'll be more hip hop and top 40. Before that, for the first few hours, it'll be a lot of bhangra and film music with some more western hits in there. We're not having very many slow songs...maybe three or four.
