“Groove is in the Heart” Dee-light
Everybody loves “Shout”.
Incorrect.
mmm
And for something completely different: Concrete Schoolyard-Jurassic 5
If I had to choose 3 songs for a diverse party spanning generations, I’d choose:
Something by Anubian Lights – either Way Gone Man or Wild Winter
Dead or Alive – You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)
Frank Sinatra – Come Fly With Me
To cast a wide net:
“Oh What a Night (December '63)” --The Four Seasons
“Any way you Want it” --Journey
“Thriller” --MJ
“Crazy” - Gnarls Barkley
“Surrender” - Cheap Trick
“Soul Finger” - Bar Kays
Trouble Funk – “Let’s Get Small”
The Heavy – “How You Like Me Now?”
Eagles of Death Metal – “Chase the Devil”
Bonus: the album version of Andre Williams – “I Wanna Be Your Favorite Pajamas” (the album is titled Silky and is available on iTunes)
Why do you hate America?
Pretty much. I’ve been to a couple hundred weddings, and it’s interesting to see what gets people on the dancefloor. And, you know what, it’s always the same songs. DJs that try to stray from the predictable party songs and venture into indie or techno territory usually end up with empty dancefloors, precisely because you’re catering to so many different groups.
“Shout” is one of those songs that gets everyone going. As is “Twist and Shout.”
Other perennial favorites (that have not been mentioned):
I’ll give you three relatively older tunes:
Van Morrison’s “Brown Eyed Girl”
The Commodore’s “Brick House”
Madonna’s “Like a Prayer”
And three from the last decade or so:
Kanye’s “Gold Digger”
Outkast’s “Hey Ya”
Lady Gaga’s “Poker Face” (or any of a number of her tunes.)
Oh, and a couple of 80s hair metal/hard rock tunes always seem to get a wide variety of people going. Try Bon Jovi’s “Living on a Prayer,” Motley Crue’s “Kickstart My Heart,” and Def Leppard’s “Pour Some Sugar On Me.” Also, any AC/DC.
Dancing in the Streets - Martha & the Vandellas or Van Halen, take your pick.

Yep. That’s pretty much a standard wedding setlist you got there. 
I know it’s boring, trite, overdone, but it works.
Thank you so much. I’d never heard of Darwin Deez and now I love him and you.

Pretty much, yeah. But what weddings have that my list doesn’t are all the songs that have been completely overdone to death at weddings- Celebration (K&theG), the Macarena, the chicken dance, It’s Raining Men, I Will Survive, Love Shack, Ole Time R&R, The Electric Slide, YMCA, and so on- can’t stand 'em.
