As soon as I think I've got it sorted, something pops into my h ead that I simply must add to the list.

definietly more "user-friendly" than the first one! You need a bit of cheese at a wedding. Good luck with it.
I think that's a pretty ace list. I don't know danceable 'Connection' is though? It's easily replaced with 'Dancing Queen' or 'Come on Eileen' you know... or 'Alright' by Supergrass!!
Will the bride forgive you for leaving out Def Leppard?
She's going to have to, but you just can't dance to it.
Connection's a stomper!
Hello, what about some Jam, Eton Rifles or something?
I did toy with that OP, but I find it way too hard to dance to. I looked at all Jam and I've never been able to dance to A Town Called Malice, so decided against it. It's too fast and thrashy.
I hate it, but immediately thought of 'Hi Ho Silver Lining'. And 'Contact' by Edwin Starr. And 'Mighty Real' by Sylvester.
Though that last one's not really cheesy. I agree with you that you can't dance to the Jam (with the possible exception of 'Precious'). Doesn't stop people (blokes) from trying, generally.
I've got a mental image of you trying to dance to each of these in turn, FC, then crossing them off on a clipboard when you realize they don't cut it.
I think you could lose "The Sound Of The Crowd" and "Queen Bitch" fairly easily, mainly because I don't think I've ever heard of them.
Two classics Kitten. Queen Bitch is classic glammish Bowie and very danceable, and Sound Of The Crowd may actually bite the bullet, as marvellous as it is.
And as for the dancing - I'm just glad there's no webcam at home.
I reckon substitute Just Can't Get Enough for New Life. The former's been done to death and you don't hear the latter enough.
