Look at the soundtrack for any Sandra Bullock or Julia Roberts romantic comedy.

― Cunga (Cunga), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 02:15 (twenty-one years ago)

I would bring "Smells Like Teen Spirit" so that you aren't beaten up by the inevitable groomsman with a tie wrapped around his head who wants to "rock out".

― John Justen (johnjusten), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 02:32 (twenty-one years ago)

here are some other tracks i used. for when the groom and bride are introduced to the party (if they do this) "Theme from Rocky". when the groom takes off the garter and throws it: Motley Crue's "Girls Girls Girls" and when the bride throws the bouquet: Peggy Lee's "Fever"

For the men:
"November Rain" - Guns N Roses (if these frat guys are anything like the ones I know, they will be bellowing "GNR!!!" after drink number 4)

For the ladies:
"Wannabe" - Spice Girls (sung enthusiastically by bridesmaids)

and something by Ace of Base.

― Jessie the Monster (scarymonsterrr), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 02:51 (twenty-one years ago)

No no no, Pearl Jam - Rearviewmirror

17. Outkast - "Hey Ya"

― Dominique (dleone), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 13:31 (twenty-one years ago)

I can't believe it's gone this far and no one mentioned Madonna.

18. "Holiday"
19. "Burning Up"
20. "Material Girl"

― Candicissima (candicissima), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 13:34 (twenty-one years ago)

21. Jackson Browne's "Lawyers in Love" would totally rock a yuppie wedding.

― The Mad Puffin, Wednesday, 1 June 2005 13:35 (twenty-one years ago)

22. "Girl From Ipanema" is what yuppies have playing in their heads all day.

― Chris H. (chrisherbert), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 16:35 (twenty-one years ago)

23. The Pretenders - "Brass In Pocket"

(at my wedding will be "Tattooed Love Boys")

― PB, Wednesday, 1 June 2005 16:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Not this generation of yuppies, I don't think. (xpost)

24. George Michael - Freedom '90
25. Deee-Lite! - Groove is in the Heart
26. Prince - Kiss

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 16:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Ladies and gentlemen, it is with no small shame and regret that I present for your consideration: 27. The Spin Doctors, "Two Princes."

― Guayaquil, Wednesday, 1 June 2005 16:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, and I think those Madonna songs are for the wrong generation of yuppies, too: you'll be wanting "Like a Prayer," and perhaps "Vogue."

― Guayaquil, Wednesday, 1 June 2005 16:43 (twenty-one years ago)

30. Sir Mix-A-Lot, "Baby Got Back"
31. Young MC, "Bust a Move"

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 16:45 (twenty-one years ago)

You're all wrong.

What's a wedding woth "Mambo No. 5" by Lou Bega?

Nothing! That's what a weding is without that song.

― MichaelCostello1 (Aerodynamic), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 16:48 (twenty-one years ago)

33. House of Pain, "Jump Around"
34. Violent Femmes, "Blister in the Sun"

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 16:54 (twenty-one years ago)

35. James, "Laid"

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 16:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Shit, I forgot about that James song.

But it would be too vulgar especially that "She Only Comes When She's on Top" part.

― Michael Costello (MichaelCostello1), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 17:00 (twenty-one years ago)

In an age when "Strokin'" is a wedding reception staple, I don't think you have to worry about "she only comes when she's on top."

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 17:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeh but "Strokin'" was like the Hokie Pokie of the 80's and the lyrics were very well hidden. Grandmothers didn't know it was about HJ's.

James' lyrics aren't hidden at all. It's right there for you to be embarrased by your Grandmother when she sees you mouthing the lyrics.

― Michael Costello (MichaelCostello1), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 17:18 (twenty-one years ago)

"I Will Survive" Gloria Gaynor / Cake
"Oh What A Night" Four Season (the horrid 90's updated version)
"Love Cats" The Cure
"Bye Bye Bye" N'Sync
[they played these and many other horrendo songs every Thursday night at our college functions. Circa 1994-1996]

― VegemiteGrrl (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 17:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Not that the Cure is horrendo, but I have a hard time listening to Love Cats now without suffering waves of nausea. Which is sad because I used to love it!

― VegemiteGrrl (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 17:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Hahaha, I don't think anyone's listed a song I wouldn't dance to. I love fun too much. It's a PARTY, people!

My recommendations -

40. White Wedding - Billy Idol
41. Kiss The Bride - Elton John
42. Love Really Hurts Without You - Billy Ocean
43. My First, My Last, My Everything - Barry White (presumably sorority girl watched Ally McBeal)

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 17:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, and don't forget the Jackson 5.

― VegemiteGrrl (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 17:50 (twenty-one years ago)

44. Sheryl Crow - "All I Wanna Do"

― Dominique (dleone), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 17:54 (twenty-one years ago)
