So I've been loving the "Do Not Play" list over on SB, and while I was putting together some paperwork for our DJ this weekend it got me thinking. I have a pretty long DNP list but my "Please Play" list is short.
For those of you already married, what songs stand out to you from your wedding as a huge hit with your crowd? For those who aren't married, what songs are you planning on requesting to get people up and moving? Or, as a wedding guest, what song made you get out of your seat?

I definitely agree with PP's that this is a know your crowd type thing. Having said that, there are a few songs that always get my friends & family off their feet.
Be Faithful- Fatman Scoop
Cha Cha Slide (I know, I know, everyone hates line dances)
Poison
90's Reggae like "Action" & "Sim Simma"
Give Me Everything- Pitbull & Ne-Yo
I guess we enjoy "throwbacks" more than anything. My mind is drawing a blank on current music.
We made a mistake- we asked people for requests on their invitations. Everyone loved the idea but no one danced to the songs that were requested--- even when we thought they would be huge hits. Once we gave the DJ the go-ahead to ignore the list, it was a fabulous party. We got people dancing to a lot of 90's pop and hip hop, lots of oldies, and some newer hits.
My 94 year old grandfather was on the floor for a lot of the 60's pop but my mom was still dancing to Meaghan Trainer (my dad couldn't bring himself to dance to that one). People of all backgrounds loved the salsa and merengue thrown in as well.
Our dance floor was packed all night.
