Your MUST play and do NOT play list

Hi ladies!!  Our wedding is a little over 2 months away and I am starting to go over wedding music.  I was just wondering what some of your must play songs are at your wedding and your do not play list.  I think I have more do NOT play songs that must play songs.  For example, the chicken dance, macarena, the train song, the thong song.  Any other ideas? 
Also, if you are having a bridal party dance, what song are you doing for this?  I want to do a more upbeat slow song if that makes sense.  something that the couples will not feel awkward dancing to each other with.  Or is it more common to not have this tradition anymore?

    Must List:
    Stolen - Dashboard Confessional (first dance)
    I'm Yours - Jason Mraz (last dance)
    Love & Luck - Jimmy Buffett
    Everything - Michael Buble
    Accidentally in Love - Counting Crows (entrance nominee)
    Golden Girls Theme (entrance nominee)
    Paradise - Meatloaf
    Brick House - Commodores
    Livin' on a Prayer - Bon Jovi
    Love Shack - B-52s
    Smile - Uncle Kracker
    Fly Away - Emma Townshend
    Delirious Love - Neil Diamond

    Must Not List:
    Celebrate good times (no, I will not come on...)
    Cha Cha Slide (because I told promised my sister)
    Sweet Caroline - Neil Diamond (because I promised my dad.  Delirious Love is my favorite anyway)

    I'm hoping we can hire the DJ more as an emcee than anything else... I want to plug my computer in and just let it go on the iTunes... but if I have to figure something out, I will.

    The "Must Nots" are harder to think of... I can't just go to my playlists and check!

    LOL (no I will not come on)!! Too funny!!

    I have a bunch in my planning bio under music suggestions! I think that the do not play list is just as important because it gives the DJ/Band an idea of what you do not like!

    Please don't have a WP dance.  No one likes them - not your attendants who will find it awkward, not your guests who have to sit through it, not your attendants' dates who'll have to watch their date dance with someone else.  Skip it and everyone will thank you.

    Is the Cha Cha Slide that stupid song they play in clubs sometimes?  Kind of a hip-hop line dance?  God, I hate that song....
