Must - haves for wedding songs

Molly and I have a couple of Post-its up for when we think of great dancing songs, but I thought I'd crowdsource the idea.

What do y'inz (getting ready for Pittsburgh) think would make for must-have wedding playlist material? - or failing that, what were the great songs from our college years (we have, of course, already got "Move Bitch, Get Out The Way" on the list)

  2. HAha - We do have to have OMG - that song's the best.

    This is great, Sam. Thanks! I appreciate you taking the time to put them in here.

    What were other dance songs that we really liked in college? I am having a hard time remembering anything besides these:
    Ignition (remix)
    Hey Ya
    In Da Club
    Get low (which is unplayable, but... who knows)
    Senorita

    What do you think?
