The Talkbass Ultimate Wedding Playlist

[Godbody]

Ok my TBrethren,

I've already been to three weddings this year, and I'll be going to three more, and I'm standing up in yet another one- all before July. There will most likely be more before 2009 is over.

Two of the three I was at had crappy music, hardly anyone danced. I have some say at a few of these weddings as far as what music gets played at the reception. Now, most of what I like isn't gonna fly, so I need some help.

What songs would you put on the Ultimate Wedding Playlist? I need some songs that are gonna get girls out on the dance floor!

I guess I could put that in, if I wanted to make sure there was a break in the dancing and fun so I could go get drinks without missing anything

I play my '08 MIA Fender J-bass once a month in a casino lounge band (classic rock). Van Morrison's Brown Eyed Girl put the crowd on the dance floor--every time. Below are the hard-core dance floor fillers, Guaranteed.

Brown Eyed Girl - Van Morrison
Domino - Van Morrison
Mustang Sally - Wilson Picket
Twist and Shout - standard
Born on the Bayou - CCR
Green River - CCR

I also have three and a half sets worth of our regular tunes that are hit or miss with the dancers. I vouch for these.
