Last song at your reception?

My friend played Don't Stop Believin' and everybody flipped out and screamed the lyrics and danced (stumbled) around and it was a lot of fun. But I don't want to rip off that idea. What did you play?

Not as much fun, but we played "Come Away with Me" by Norah Jones. I think that's the title. lol

"you & me" from Lifehouse. i've been to a few weddings who had "closing time" by green day.

MrsLokiAngel

Come Fly With Me!

ms nobody

we'll be playing "i believe (when i fall in love with you it will be forever)" by stevie wonder.

FI wants to play Enterlude or Exitlude by the Killers. It has the lyrics "it's good to have you with us, we hope you enjoyed your stay" so it seems fitting but the second version also describes "flashfloods of pain"....so we're re-thinking it.

I wanted "time of my life" from DIrty Dancing but the dj "forgot" to play it....dumb a$$ im still bitter!!

We're going to play Jackson Brown's "Load Out" which is not really a real song but something that he played once to end a concert, but it turns in to "just a little bit longer" or whatever that songs called! haha

We ended up with Billy Joel-Piano Man. It wasn't planned that way but we loved it. We were all standing around in a huge circle with our arms around each other, swaying to the music and singing the lyrics. Kevin's family started the tradition so I just requested it be played sometime during the night.

We didn't request anything specific, but he played a montage from the movie Grease. It had the "Summer Nights" song and "Grease Lightning". It was pretty good, everyone was singing as they were dancing!

I like the Piano Man idea.  It reminds me of spring break in college (1995) when my friend Nate sang it at karaoke and all of us fraternity and sorority people were standing around with our arms around each other singing along w/ him.I think Mike and I will have to discuss what to do since he never likes any of the songs I pick for anything.  LOL  He does like Billy Joel but otherwise he doens't like anything but Elvis and the Beatles.

We didn't really care, so our DJ played Please Don't Stop the Music by Rhiana

We chose "Getting Late" off the new Rob Thomas CD.

mtrapin

ours (and this was alll totally our awesome dj)... but he called us out to the center of the floor- had everyone that was still there circle around us... and replayed our first dance song. it was AWESOME. i cried- especially when the song was over and everyone rushed in for a HUGE HUG!

I've heard "Don't Stop Believing" at a couple of past weddings as the final song. It reminds me of roller-skating parties from grade school. We're using "Take Me Home Tonight" by Eddie Money. It's a nod to all of my sorority sisters who are traveling in from long distance - it used to be one of our favorite college bar tunes. It's also just a fun song in general.

we uesd "i'm yours" by jason mraz - it was one of our 1st dance candidates, but i thought it might be overused by then, but i still really wanted to use it somewhere. it was perfect - the whole dance floor was full

ksunquest

Journey gets played A LOT at weddings. I am almost positive this was our last song...then the DJ played the Lion's fight song. It was perfect.

marcstaceywedding

I might just go ahead and rip off Don't Stop Believin' -- it's a crowd pleaser for sure. And then the U-M fight song. Hopefully we'll be playing it after a win that day...Thanks for all your ideas!

I think ours was Lean on Me by Ben E. King.. is it bad that I'm not sure I remember?

amyvan317

Let's Get it On by Marvin Gaye.

September by Earth,Wind, and Fire

mumegs

We did Green Day "Time of your life". it was sweet, everyone was in a big circle with their arms around each other and singing/swaying. We definitely played Don't stop believing earlier in the night, that's a huge crowd pleaser.

themarshmalo

"Hit the Road, Jack" by Ray Charles. I remember that moment that the dance floor was the most packed!

Amer0317
