You, you! From the starting notes of this song, to the last brilliantly harmonised lines, this is will get your guests dancing\u2014hook, line, and sinker. The oom-pah rhythm is perfect for bopping around with friends and loved ones. The kids in the crowd will also be having just as much fun, as it\u2019s just the right tempo to jump around to after having a bit too much red cordial!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Shout-by-The-Isley-Brothers\"><\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shout<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by The Isley Brothers<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Most famous cover version<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The Beatles<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Style<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Rock and roll<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Perfect act<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/encoremusicians.com\/hire\/rock-n-roll-bands\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rock n roll band<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ultimate crowd rousing number. It was a massive inspiration for Beatles, who would go on to cover it, as well as The Isley Brothers other famous tune, Twist and Shout (Ferris Bueller anyone?). The highs and lows of this song are perfect for dance floor antics, getting everybody crouching down, then shouting along in unison. It\u2019s now wonder that so many bands have covered it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get-Down-Tonight-by-KC-and-the-Sunshine-Band\"><\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get Down Tonight<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by KC and the Sunshine Band<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Most famous cover version<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Shriekback<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Style<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Disco, funk<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Perfect act<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/encoremusicians.com\/hire\/soul-&amp;-motown-bands\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soul &amp; Motown band<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s all in the title isn\u2019t it? From that opening shrill guitar solo, to the syncopated bass pop and locking around the beat, you can bet your guests will be getting down with the best of them. This was KC and the Sunshine Band\u2019s calling card, and we just can\u2019t get enough of this most funky of tunes. This will break any tired dancers out of their mid-set lull, that much you can be sure of!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"U-Cant-Touch-This-by-MC-Hammer\"><\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">U Can&#8217;t Touch This<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by MC Hammer<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Most famous cover version<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Kanye West remix<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Style<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Hip-hop, pop-rap<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Perfect act<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/encoremusicians.com\/hire\/djs\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DJ<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stanley Kirk Burrell, better known as the incomparable MC Hammer, couldn\u2019t have known just how iconic this song would become. It\u2019s a staple of dance floors everywhere, and is heard wherever Hammer pants are to be found. If you\u2019ve got a few flashy dance moves to try out, this is the song to do it to. Wedding dance songs don\u2019t get more fun than this. Bonus points if you can rap along.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Billie-Jean-by-Michael-Jackson\"><\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Billie Jean<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by Michael Jackson<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Most famous cover version<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Kanye West remix<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Style<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Hip-hop, pop-rap<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Perfect act<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/encoremusicians.com\/hire\/function-bands\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Function band<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From the best-selling album of all time, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Billie Jean<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> shows Michael Jackson\u2019s musical genius at the height of its power. Every element of this track is built for the dance floor. That steady drum beat, the Nile Rodger-esque guitar strumming, the sleek string stings\u2014it\u2019s about as close as you can get to the perfect pop song. A good one for your guests to test their moonwalk out on too.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lets-Dance-by-David-Bowie\"><\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let&#8217;s Dance<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by David Bowie<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Most famous cover version<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Jimmy Fallon (who knew!)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Style<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Funk-rock, post-disco<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Perfect act<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/encoremusicians.com\/hire\/pop-bands\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pop band<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">David Bowie was always an artist that danced to the beat of his own drum. This song, however, will have your guests all dancing to the beat of one drum\u2014an immaculately crafted dance classic. Produced by Chic guitarist Nile Rodgers, himself a veteran dance floor connoisseur, this tune channels all the best bits of disco, but with that distinctive Bowie glam. The Stevie Ray Vaughan solo at the end should also provide the perfect excuse to bust out the air guitar.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gimme-Gimme-Gimme-A-Man-After-Midnight-by-ABBA\"><\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gimme!

Everyone was dancing, and there wasn\u2019t a seated person in sight. If we could choose only one song that is guaranteed to keep wedding guests on their feet, it\u2019s this one. Disco at its absolute finest.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Boogie-Wonderland-by-Earth-Wind-Fire-with-The-Emotions\"><\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Boogie Wonderland<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by Earth, Wind &amp; Fire with The Emotions<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Most famous cover version<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Brittany Murphy (in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Happy Feet<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Style<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Disco<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Perfect act<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/encoremusicians.com\/hire\/soul-&amp;-motown-bands\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soul &amp; Motown band<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hints of latin jazz, a capella melodies, slap bass, and an unforgettable vocal line. If these aren\u2019t enough reason to get up and dance, I don\u2019t know what is. This song was a smash hit when it first came out, and has been covered, remixed, and used in movies without restraint ever since.

Jokes aside, some of the lines aren\u2019t for the faint of heart, but the sheepish enjoyment is part of the fun. Inspired by bands like the Ramones and the Buzzcocks, its mix of funk, acoustic, and soul is unlike anything else.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Encore Wedding Dance Songs\"
