I'm DJing at a friend's wedding next weekend. It's been a while since I've done one and I'm thinking of making some mash ups for the occasion.

What are your favourite not too cheesy classic chooooons for the disco?

    This is a classic.
    The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns
    momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.

    Slave to the rhythm?

    Parent's first tune at their wedding disco.

    Exactly what level of cheese are we talking about here? We had Modjo - Lady, for our first dance. More mozzarella than stilton imo.

    If the groom dances with the bride's sister/mother/best friend stick on The Buzzocks "Ever Fallen in Love With".

    Alternatively, anything by Nine Inch Nails.

    I should have known better....

    Looking for some nice stilton. No dairy lea.

    Modjo/lady = perfect

    Andy Williams - I love you baby = perfectly cheesy but utterly fantastic

    Eric Clapton Wonderful tonight = slit my wrists

    Macarena / ymca / grease etc etc etc = hell

    Agree 100% but unfortunately hellishly bad music fills dance floors. Same as ABBA and associated awfulness - I'd rather stick a needle in my ears and lick an IED but it fills dancefloors.

    Unfortunately weddings aren't meant to be an arena of ground breaking music for afficionados - essentially you play tat, people get slaughtered, they have a laugh and dance and you do the business with the bride in the car park while her new husband is staggering around with his mates.

    Well, its been like that at every wedding I've dj'd at ………

    Any pictures of the bride's/birds who follow the bride up the aisle's norks then please feel free to post them in the normal place.

    But seriously, slave to the rhythm.

    If you want it a little more dancey ala Mojo - albiet nowhere near as classy, but, well, a fun funky dance record:

    They seem to like it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... VjiYZT8ZTM

    And it's appropriately lovey.

    Smashing Pumpkins - Today.

    While playing it you can also bore people about the fact that the delicious Victoria has got part of the lyrics tattooed down her forearm. Now that's cycling trivia for you.

    I'd drop a Yes album on and disappear to the bar for an hour personally.

    There has to be a Beastie Boys tribute in there somewhere,. Has to be. It would be wrong otherwise.

    End the evening by playing Oasis' "Married With Children".

    A spot of "Cigarettes and Alcohol", "Supersonic" and "Wonderwall" will go down a treat - make sure there is lots of hand waving and lighters in the air for "Wonderwall".

    Any requests for "Angels" by Retardo Williams should be met by a swift kick in the goolies. Or shoot them in the face with a gun.

    I did the music for a mate's wedding and played 'This Charming Man' (he's a big Smiths fan) and had the Minister up dancing like a loon!

    Get a bit of Motown / Stax on there. Every good-hearted person loves a good soul tune.
