Wedding Reception Music?
DrumAnBass:
A little Brian Setzer is a good compromise for appealing to both young and old.... For the oldies; Mel Torme, "Happy Together", some Sinatra like "Fly Me To The Moon," a little Louis Armstrong "Wonder World" for a slow dance... Cheezy songs that people like to dance to once the alcohol has been flowing for a while: US3's Cantaloop, Kris Kross "Jump around", Average White Band "Cut The Cake," 3 Dog Night "Mama Told Me" Beatles "twist and shout", Isley Brothers "shout" "Mony mony" Billy Idol or the original by Tomy James and the Shondels... Just a few ideas.

The wife and I actually interviewed a handful of potential DJ's, all of whom had video demo's of their work. That was nice, since the demo's allowed us to eliminate all the guys who think you hire a DJ to do something other than play music - I'm amazed at how many wanna-be comedians DJ weddings. ::)
I was pretty explicit during the interview process that any song on our 'banned' list that got played would be an invitation for trouble. The guy we finally chose actually seemed to like the fact that we had lengthy play lists, and very specific 'do not play' requests as well. No Macarena, No Electric Slide, and probably a lot more James Brown than you usually hear at a wedding.
We had the Bridal party introduced to the theme from The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly ;D
If you're gonna have music during dinner, I highly recommend classic instrumental Jazz - Coltrane, Gilespie, Cal Tjader, etc. Got a lot of compliments from our older guests on that choice.

The most fun I had with a DJ at a wedding...I slipped him a 5 spot and told him the best man requested "Jesse's Girl" by Rick Springfield. The idiot played it with a special intro..."From the best man to the bride." :laugh2: I'm glad my sister-in-law does not read BYOAC.

Whatever music you play, when the priest or whoever says "I now pronounce you man and wife.", you have to have the "pac-man dying" sound effect play.

THE HUMANOID MUST NOT ESCAPE
Or maybe the Q Bert death sound followed by a knock.
