Grandparents' Dance

Greetings everyone!

So my fiance and I wanted to include my maternal grandfather and his paternal grandmother in the reception since both my grandmother and his grandfather have Alzheimer's and will not be able to attend the wedding. So we came up with the idea of a grandparents' dance.

Here's where I'd like to ask the community's help. My grandfather can't think of a song he'd like to use, and his grandmother says whatever we pick will be nice. I want to make sure that we pick a song that shows we both love them, and that it's dignified but sweet and fun. Any suggestions (and links to Youtube so I can listen to the song) would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks everyone! :)

    I guess I am confused. Are they dancing with you and the groom or eachother?
    I've always been a fan of  "Grandpa" by the Judds http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7E88RUqyjts

    Pick something from their era.  If they were teenagers in the 40s how about Frnak Sinatra (Fly me to the Moon) or As Time goes by (from Casablanca).  If they are from the 50s something sweet and slow from MoTown.

    Hello ALL,
    I would like to have my son and daughter dance with, their grandparents during our wedding. Would you please suggest an appropriate song? My parents are in the mid 70's and love country music. My fiance will have his granddaughters there as well and he like more modern music.
    Thank you,
    Janet
