Father/Daughter Song

ejheart

I know this question has been asked before, but when searching all I could find was old stuff. I'm wondering, what did/are you using for your father/daughter dance?

I know that my dad will want to do some kind of country and western dance, but I just can't bring myself to do one of the super slow, mushy country songs. We do need something with a good beat, and probably some acoustic guitar but nothing too slow (it doesn't necessarily have to be straight country though).

So, please tell me what you used and/or if you have any suggestions for me.

I danced to "Father and Daughter" by Paul Simon.

Daughter by Loudin Wainwright III is what we danced to. It is really upbeat, but still simple at the same time.

Little Miss Magic by Jimmy Buffet. Fun song and my dad loves it.

We did I loved her first by Heartland. 

BUT,

My second choice (which I really wanted to switch it to at the last minute) was Daddy's girl by Red Sovine. It's probably along the lines of what you're looking for as far as country.

Crash also had a very touching dance to "Red Solo Cup" with her dad.

Hahah. I really can't believe that I didn't think of that one earlier!

What do you guys think of the Bellamy Brother's, "Let Your Love Flow?" CLICKY

It's kinda fast but super upbeat and non-cheesy.

Yes, 
The whole reception was in tears just by the touching content in the song. Much less our dance skills.<div>
</div><div>Or were they crying because they were laughing so hard at our laugh of dance skills? 

I guess we'll never know.</div>

My dance with my dad was super mush fest country--'My Little Girl' by Tim McGraw. LOVE Little Miss Magic and Daughter too

Klaro

We danced to "Tough Little Boys" by Gary Allan

My dad chose and picked "I Loved Her First" by Heartland. I cringed when I heard the title, but it's a really pretty song.

If it had been up to me, I probably would have picked "Isn't She Lovely" by Stevie Wonder. I think I read somewhere he wrote that about his daughter, and it's happy and upbeat. But not country at all, so I don't know if that helps.

My father and I danced to Tim Mcgraw - My Little Girl.

The whole time we were dancing my dad was making me laugh. It was funny, we didn't really listen to the words, we just talked alot
