You could go with You're Gorgeous and hope everyone is too busy thinking about how appropriate the chorus is to ignore the verses...

Perhaps in that case 12 Reasons Why by My Life Story? Loads of energy, right sentiment, but perhaps not floor-fillery enough.

You can never go wrong with a bit of the Divine Comedy; Everybody Knows for the slower dancing towards the end? Given the nature of the event it may kick something off. (Perfect Lovesong might be more appropriate, but it missed the 90s by 2 years.)

If I can get my iTunes to work again, I'm coming straight back to this post to remind me of a bunch of songs I need on my iPod *now*

Ohhh this thread is bringing back memories! Brimful of Asha is good, as is Birdhouse in Your Soul.

May I suggest "Staying out for the Summer" by Dodgy? If it's a summer wedding that is...

Birdhouse in Your Soul, also.

2009-05-30T09:50:45.348+01:00

I'm going to love this album so much I'm making one like it right now. Pretty much all the abovementioned songs will be on it. Other ones that got everyone off their arse at some point in the nineties: I Wanna Be Adored (SINGLE released 91); Come as You Are; Mulder and Scully; Losing My Religion; Parklife; Don't Look Back in Anger (yeah, Wonderwall, etc., but I don't like it as much); Girl from Mars; Buddy Holly; Loaded; Wake Up Boo; Walkaway; Ballad of Tom Jones

I could go on. I think you can see I am not afraid of the obvious choices, but even so I will not include Angels because I have always hated it. Other people like it apparently. I will include Sit Down, even though you don't like it. I also really loved Would You... by Touch and Go, and would be interested to know if that was just me. And Barbie Girl got people dancing, if that is the pure and simple name of the game. I quite love Aqua. They're funny.

2009-05-29T16:00:09.822+01:00

Marie,

If you really want to do it, that would be great and we would be very happy to hand it over to you. We were just planning on plugging an ipod into a PA and hoping that everyone would be too drunk to notice.

So let's get our people to talk to your people and see if we can work something out.

2009-05-29T15:53:44.856+01:00

Ooh ooh I've got a good one - Felix, 'Don't You Want Me'. Total floor-filler!

I have just had a friend suggest Dizzy, which is going to be very hard to beat.

2009-05-29T14:51:49.414+01:00

I DJ'd at a wedding recently and at the request of the groom had to play some Prodigy. We thought this was a bad idea. We thought nothing was likely to kill the floor quicker than a bit of hard-core rave.

WRONG.

We played Out Of Space and the crowd, as they say, went wild. I have honestly never seen the like. Parents, children, half the senior civil servants of HM's Treasury... everybody LOVED IT.

2009-05-29T14:35:31.793+01:00

Great suggestions all around but I think Step On would definitely be a floor filler. The Mondays never seem to get played these days so it's got nostalgia AND Bez-dancing opportunities

2009-05-29T14:29:17.323+01:00

Ha - I am both thrilled and unsurprised by the results so far and with Persephone's suggestion which I would heartily second for encouraging frantic Jarvis-esque hand gestures!

Still, very entertaining (and Bro, my hat to you as I have very fond memories of the 1980s track 'She Sells Sanctuary' from my first works disco - yes, it cleared the dance floor apart from a handful, including me, of goth-empathising young folks!)

verification word: fancipte which really SHOULD be a word

2009-05-29T13:11:21.349+01:00

Nineties stuff that would get me dancing? Off the top of my head: "Walking on Broken Glass" Annie Lennox(not the greatest lyrics for a wedding, but the video was set at an eighteenth century reception...); "Big Bang Baby" Stone Temple Pilots; "Never Let You Go" Third Eye Blind.

"Disco 2000" is great, but "Common People" would make me dance. I wouldn't be able to resist aping the Jarvis Cocker hand gestures...

2009-05-29T11:41:51.002+01:00

Oh God, hard choice! I would dance to all of those. I think the decent thing for you to do is make a compilation and push the DJ aside. No?

2009-05-29T11:27:54.770+01:00

Oh! Brimful of Asha! That's bloody perfect. My heart kind of belongs to Born Slippy but I suspect it's not too weddingy. Alright would be fabulous, too.

Over on Twitter we've just had votes for Tubthumping and Brimful of Asha. You lot are good.

2009-05-29T11:06:43.544+01:00

Was worried that this would show my age and I wouldn't know any of these at all. I am relieved I know most of them, but it's interesting to see how cultural refs change according to age. All my nostalgic flashpoints are 80s, but then I am terribly old (-: Will have a ponder and come back and vote. My favourite song here is definitely Disco 2000 but I think what you're after is something more anthemlike which will have everyone singing and hugging (there is a group of friends I knew as teenagers who I am sure would all still huddle in a circle to Come on Eileen - that's what you're after, no?)
