I’m surprised that Cheap Trick’s “She’s Tight” isn’t mentioned more often here. ---

I appreciate all the ideas so far (serious, silly, and other). Keep them coming (and it doesn’t have to be Motown-adjacent - any ideas are welcome). ETA - I promise to try to remember to come back wedding and let you know how it worked out. ---

I like that, and I think their DJ could make a cut like that. And rolling into the head-banging portion of Rhapsody and announcing the dance floor is open could work also. ---
