HELP! Father/daughter & Mother/Son combo dance song ideas please!

I don't really want to do a Father/Daughter dance & my Fiance doesn't care either way if he does a Mother/Son dance. But I know his Mom wants to do one & it would be awkward for them to dance & my father & I not to. Neither my Fiance or I like people staring at us, so I suggested we do ONE dance after our 1st dance, where he dances with his mom & I dance w/my dad at the same time. He liked that idea. Here lies the problem: We can't think of a song that would work. Most of the songs really only apply to either or, not both dances @the same time. So, I am hoping someone has suggestions for a song that could be used in our combo Father/Daughter - Mother/Son dance?? Thanks!!

    We did the exact same thing because H's mom was uncomfortable with a spotlight dance, we danced to Over the Rainbow by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole.  We also invited our guests to share the dance about halfway through.

    This is the song my godfather and I danced too because he's not my father but he is the man that raised me.  I think it works for all types of situations.

    We did a combo dance too -- we danced to Unforgettable, the duet version with Nat King Cole and Natalie Cole.

    I'm a shy bride so I didn't really care to do a dance with all eyes on me but we're doing a father/daughter-mother/son dance combo for the sake of tradition. I'm not sure of your music preference but we're planning to use "As" by Stevie Wonder. I want the song to send the message that although my fiance and I have found love in each other, we will always have love for our parents.

    cvmami78 Can't get enough of Stevie. Almost had him for every song we needed to use but I changed some for the sake of the guests (don't want them to think "what's with all the Stevie songs?" lol) I think "As" is a beautiful song and I love it too.

    What do you guys think about the song Red On A Rose by Alan Jackson?  That's probably what we are going to do, with my FI and his mom dancing, and my father and I dancing.  Half way through the song they are going to let us go and FI and I will dance out the rest of it.
