Father/Daughter Dance Song suggestions?

What song did you (or will you) dance to with your dad?  Can anyone suggest some classic MoTown or old skool R&B tunes that might work?  "My Girl" is nice, but I was hoping for some other ideas.  Something more on the upbeat side of things, I don't want to be bawling through the whole dance (though I might anyway)!

Alternatively, any fun songs that you can think of?  We aren't the greatest dancers, but we were considering hamming it up on the dance floor.  My dad's the kind of person who used to blast "The Real Slim Shady" or "Lady Marmalade" dancing in the front seat of the mini van as he pulls up to pick up my sisters after school.  Embarrassed them to NO END, but basically just saying that he and I are pretty silly.  

When I told my dad the idea of doing something funny, he said, "what about the Macarena?"  I'm not sure if that will be ridiculous or cute, but well, if you have suggestions, we're aiming for cute!

What about "Isn't She Lovely"?

I know I'm a sap, but I've always liked "Take Good Care of my Baby". But thats not Motown at all....

There's always "How Sweet It Is", "Aint No Mountain High Enough", "I'll Be There", "It Takes Two", "You've Got A Friend", "Isn't She Lovely", & "Sugar Pie Honey Bunch"

I love all those songs

Thanks Amberlynne!  MoTown isn't an absolute must, it's just that I know it's a style of music my dad and I both like -- would like to find something that we'll both recognize. 

Those are some great suggestions!   It's so hard to find a song that works for a father/daughter, that's sentimental but not about romantic love.

I was going to suggest Joy by Blackstreet but that is a very emotional slow song.
