OT: Wedding Dance Songs

I'm getting married in about 1 month, and I'm currently trying to throw together a list of songs for our DJ. We have the first dance, dinner music, and cocktail hour covered. I'm trying to come up with dance songs for after dinner. I need some cleaner ones for earlier on that the older folks can enjoy, and other ones that can be more explicit for later for everyone else.
Post one or more of each of your can't miss wedding songs.
1. Clean
2. Clean or not (preferably hip hop)
Only rule is no country. Also we're trying to stay away from standard wedding fair like Sinatra, Dean Martin, etc... and of course the Chicken Dance or Electric/Cha Cha Slide.

" At Last" Etta James. "Since I Fell for You." Lenny Welsh. "Can't Help Falling in Love with You" Elvis Presley. " Your Love is Taking Me Higher" Jackie Wilson. "For Your Precious Love" Jerry Butler. " Somebody to Love" Solomon Burke. All oldies, but will get the folks on the floor and appreciate the meanings.

Oh and "Imagination" Jesse Belvins (of "Good Night My Love" fame).

This is a rumor - I emphasize this is just a RUMOR - but I've heard there's a rumor going around which indicates europa is the best man.

I cried myself to sleep for days for not getting an invite to Steger's wedding. I guess I let him win in Fantasy Football for nothing.
If I were getting married in a month, I know I'd want to hear about furry boots and Reebok's with the straps. I guess that would fit your #2 criteria.
David Gray might produce something for a good "slow" song, if you want that. Please Forgive Me stands out in my mind, but it might be too upbeat for a slow song, if that makes sense. I don't know...check it out.

Not like you'd go anyways Twirly. By the time you figure out what dress to wear the wedding will be over.

Congratulations!
My suggestion is "Your hand in mine" --- Explosions in the sky.
It was also the dance song of my wedding.
Again, gratz Midranger.
祝白头偕老。

I was able to get some confirmation with some people close to the situation. Midranger is actually going to marry Europa. They already act like an old married couple, so they decided to tie the knot.

You guys are boring. After the grand march and the old foggies go home, kick it up with Brooks and Dunn "Boot Scootin Boogie followed by Garth Brooks "Friends in Low Places".
Now that's a good time!

If the post party at my house after the bag night was any proof of what could happen, I'm glad I didn't invite any of you fools to my wedding

good luck staying away from the BS songs like the electric slide and the hokey pokey. We requested for those not to be played, but so many people were asking the DJ for those that we decided just to let them play it.

Country? If the person I married picked country songs for the reception, I'd be getting divorced the next day (ya know, after the wedding night).
