Parents Entrance Song

Afternoon ladies!

I'm having a hard time finding a song to use for my parents when they are introduced at the reception; I want something fun and upbeat, but nothing too crazy - they are all in there mid to late 50's and rather reserved.  

My fiance keeps saying we should just use the same music that the bridal party is being introduced with, but I don't think they would appreciate walking in with AC/DC's 'Thunderstruck' :\.  What would you recommend/suggest?  Any thoughts would be appreciated!  

Thank you so much! :]

    What are some of your parents favorite bands? Could you have them walk into a song by one of them? My parents are huge Bruce Springsteen fans and they are walking into one of his songs. :)

    Our parents and bridal party are entering to Your simply the best... by Tina Turner....
    We were going to pick a different song for parents and bridal party, but then they would only be playing a couple lines of the song.

    I think it is fine for them to walk into the same song as the bridal party, I understand it is 'not their type of music' but they will probably be so excited it will be FUN for them to walk out to something SO not them but SOOOO you guys!  As PP said, if you do a seperate song for the parents it would be very short and then switching to a completely different style of music.

    Yea, I think you guys are right. They will probably be so excited, they won't even notice the song. Thunderstruck for the folks it is! Thank you for your help girls! :)

    Is everyone doing an entrance for their parents? I don't think that I've ever seen this done and I honestly hadn't thought about it at all, but now you have me worried. My parents aren't together anymore and I think this would probably make for an awkward moment...

    I'm not because I don't think I've seen it done (I honestly can't remember!) and my mom won't be there so I feel like that will just make me kinda upset. I don't think it's necessary at all!
