It’s wedding season again. When I put together our playlist, Ben Meadow (Leah’s uncle) gave me a couple pieces of advice. First, include up to two slow songs. And probably only one. Second, make sure you have music for all ages. I stacked the golden oldies up front, which worked well.

Here’s the playlist that kept everyone on the dance floor the entire night:

1. I’m A Believer – The Monkees
2. Baby I Love You – Aretha Franklin
3. Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough – Michael Jackson
4. Brown Eyed Girl – Van Morrison
5. Get Down Tonight – KC & The Sunshine Band
6. Brick House – Commodores
7. Love Shack – The B-52’s
8. At Last – Etta James
9. ABC – Jackson 5
10. Dancing Queen – ABBA
11. Celebration – Kool & The Gang
12. Wild Thing – Tone-Loc
13. Stayin’ Alive — Bee Gees
14. Don’t Stop Believin’ – Journey
15. Mony Mony – Billy Idol
16. Kung Fu Fighting – Cee Lo Green
17. A Little Party Never Killed Nobody (All We Got) – Fergie, Q-Tip, GoonRock
18. Cha Cha Slide – Mr. C
19. Gangnam Style – PSY
20. It’s Time To Disco – Vasundhara Das, KK, Shaan
21. Sexy And I Know It – LMFAO
22. Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It) – Beyonce
23. Save A Horse (And Ride A Cowboy) – Big & Rich
24. Hava Nagila – The Klezmer Lounge Band
25. Poker Face – Lady Gaga
26. Hello (Feat. Dragonette) – Martin Solveig
27. The Time (Dirty Bit) – The Black Eyed Peas
28. Sweet Caroline – Neil Diamond

Truthfully, people sat down for the Bollywood song. But it wouldn’t be my wedding without Bollywood. For the Hava Nagila, Leah and I actually did end up on chairs. And, if you’ve ever lived in Eugene, you know why we ended with Sweet Caroline.

Good luck!
