Using your iPod instead of a DJ at the reception can be tricky. If you want dancing, you’re gonna have to keep the rhythm going. Here are some songs that did the trick at my wedding:
Rock Steady by Aretha Franklin
Rapture by Blondie
Standing in the Way of Control by the Gossip
The Last Time by Gnarls Barkley
The Message by Grandmaster Flash
Get Up (I Feel Like Being A) Sex Machine
P.A.C.O! by Ladytron
Deceptacon by Le Tigre
Galang by M.I.A.
Workin’ Day and Night by Michael Jackson
Hard to Handle by Otis Redding
Kiss by Prince
I Thank You by Sam & Dave
Higher Ground by Stevie Wonder
Regulate by Warren G
