Default First Dance

Getting married in two weeks and still haven't decided what the first dance song should be.
Don't want something too slow - Any serious suggestions?

You really want to do that? Are you sure? We managed to avoid it completely - bollox to tradition!

If you insist though - how about "Friday I'm in Love" by The Cure?

That's why I don't want something too slow. Don't mind taking to the dancefloor first but would like a song that people can join in halfway through.

We did a Temptations ditty...can't remember which but may have been 'My Girl. My brothers best mate, complete loon, had 'Smack my Bitch Up' by Prodigy...

P.S Whatever you choose you'll still end up tripping each other up so just choose something that you both actually quite like which isn't too fast or pacey (so you can just 'sway'!)

Mrs Abdabz to be and I are currently chewing this one over. I keep trying to push Motorheads "Ace Of Spades" but the better half isnt having it...
I think we'll skip it completely unless we can compromise on D-Mobs ground breaking song "We call it Acieeed" instead of Lemmy's anthem

Slightly inappropriate (we met at 17 and 20 and got married three years later) but we had "History Repeating" by Propellorheads - got everyone on the dancefloor very quickly!
Still happily married 8 years later!

We had "Walking after you" by the Foo Fighters. A mate of my sister's had The Birdy Song.

Just choose something that's "you" (as a couple, that is)

My mate did a lot of wedding discos some years back and he had someone request "band of gold" by Freda Payne

Which is bloody funny if you know what the lyrics are about

Two that apparently crop up on American most requested lists regularly:

The Police - Every Breath You Take

Green Day - Good Riddance (commonly known in the US as Time of Your Life)

Typical Yanks, listen to a bit of the chorus, but not the lyrics

Good choice. If it's a bit slow for others then you could always go for Jean-Jaques Smoothie's "Two People" which heavily samples the aforementioned Inside My Love.
