Here is something very cool: [livejournal.com profile] nenar has asked me to make a couple of mixes for her wedding in September! I love making mixes, and I'm honored to be asked to do one for such an important occasion. However, I started playing around with it last night, and I'm beginning to worry that I don't have the world's most wedding-appropriate music collection.

For example, some things I have discovered:

1. Just because I happen to think that Half-Gifts is the most romantic song ever does not mean that it, nor any song that contains the lyric, "This relationship cannot sustain itself," is appropriate for a wedding.

2. Neither is Beast of Burden, you weirdo.

3. The Cher version of Walking in Memphis is probably NOT sexy and romantic to anyone who wasn't a huge fan of The X-Files, and a big Mulder/Scully 'shipper to boot.

4. Has The Flamingos' I Only Have Eyes For You ever been anything other than creepy? Is it bad that I still want to use it?

5. At Last is not about dead people. This makes it more appropriate for use, not less.

6. I can totally get away with including Temptation, but yes, I will be the only one giggling to myself and picturing Joe's dork!dance.

And the big one:

7. MY MUSIC MAY BE GOOD, BUT YOU CAN'T DANCE TO IT.

So I need your help with that. What are some good wedding songs--that you can dance to? If you can YSI or sendspace or megaupload them, that would be great, but if not, even just names would be helpful. I want this mix to be good. ('Cause poor [livejournal.com profile] nenar--if she's reading this, she's probably really nervous now.)

Tangentially: if anyone has Kate Bush's Aerial that they want to upload for me, that'd be totally awesome. In exchange I have...well, a lot of music totally inappropriate for weddings. *guilty grin*

ETA: DAMN YOU, [livejournal.com profile] spazatron! Now I can't stop listening to Wuthering Heights! I want to put it on [livejournal.com profile] nenar's mix! The whole wedding party can do THE DANCE.

This is in no way related to the above.
