Classic Rock Father Daughter Dances?

kernesa17

Okay, so dad isn't really into picking his own, but he is a big classic rock fan - ACDC, Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd... he also loves Johnny Cash and the Beatles and whatnot. Problem, neither of us are good dancers, so I want to stick with a slow song... and one that is appropriate of course. I don't want to go sappy though. I'm having a really hard time finding one. Any suggestions?

You could do Sweet Child of Mine.  It's not slow slow, but you could do a slow dance to it without it being weird.

Oh!  Or Forever Young by Rod Stewart.

My daughter and her father are choosing Joe Cocker- You Are So Beautiful To Me. He used to sing it to her when she was a baby. I hope to God he doesn't do the whole twitching Joe Cocker imitation like he used to. Also, it's short, so he doesn't have too long to feel awkward.

You could maybe do "Changes" by Kelly & Ozzy Osbourne? I heard this song for the first time when scouring through songs I might like to use, in the event I can somehow have a daddy/daughter dance. It's different, but in a good way, I liked it.

How about a Beatles song? Opinions on "All My Loving"?

Or not that one, I meant "In My Life" by the Beatles

I second this. Also, you don't have to be good at dancing. Just have fun, your guests won't be judging you.

I struggled to find a song that wasn't totally cheesy too, and my dad actually suggested the one we're going to use!  It's unconventional, but my dad and I are dancing to "A Little More" by Skillet.  If you read the lyrics, it's actually very fitting

We are using a new orleans jazzy version of "sweet child of mine"

We are using "That's How Strong My Love Is", the Rolling Stones version.
