Wedding songs....

So my upcoming nuptials are less then 3 months from now and I am having trouble figuring out songs for the DJ to play. There are the usual songs or artists, Sinatra, Armstrong, Jackson 5, Village people, Sir-Mix-a lot, etc., but there are so many other songs that don’t seem appropriate for a wedding. We have our “first dance” song lined up as well, but from there it begins to get tricky. As a result, I am rummaging through my music collection. I have accelerated my quest that I started in July, to listen to all of my cds, tapes, and records in hopes to listen to all songs before the wedding. I have made it through my tapes, mixed cds, and the A’s of my regular cds. I have 231 more cds (plus the ones I took out of the library). This is where I need your help. You can provide me some suggestions from the list of artists below, whose cds I own, and provide feedback for songs that I could use for the Mother/Son dance and other “fun” songs. You could also provide with some songs from artists listed below. I did forget to mention the Hora and I think that I’m going to try to get the “chicken dance” song or the hokey pokey. I’m not sure who the artist of the hora is so if you know the answer please tell me. Here is the list of all the artists I have remaining.
