Song for first dance w/ no lyrics

My FI has agreed to do a first dance at our reception, but he doesn't want to dance to a song that has words.  His reasoning..... he'll crack up laughing at the lyrics. I'm trying to come up with some sort of song that is just instrumental and would be easy for us non-dancers to attempt dancing. The thought of just not doing a first dance has crossed my mind, but I don't want to do that. Watching the first dance is one of my favorite things about receptions.

Ideas?

    Do you have a favorite song you can use the instrumental version of?

    Seconded the instrumental version of a song you like.

    Another option could be a big band tune (slow or upbeat, depending on what you're aiming for)

    I suggest using Spotify to listen to different options, or make a Pandora station. There's a LOT out there, so it's hard to narrow down.

    I like country and ballads in general. FI likes early rap (i.e. old) and whatever category sublime and ween fall into.

    Country or Ballad will be easy to find a pretty instrumental first dance, I think   :-)  ^

    If you go to Amazon, and search

    Instrumental First Dance , in digital music ... you will have tons of ideas.  If you add words like "country" or "hits" or "love songs" you'll narrow it down a little.

    You've got time, and I'm sure you'll find something pretty that you both like.  Good Luck!
