Wedding Wednesday: Daddy Daughter Dance Songs


He pirouetted with you like a pro many moons ago, and now it is time to show the world his skills. Picking a song for you and your Dad is a tricky task. The lyrics really matter. They can't be sexy, too romantic, or x-rated. And let's face it, not every Dad can dance. Lucky "Miss Shop This," her Father still has moves. I have been thinking about the best Daddy-Daughter dance songs, ever since her engagement. And today was a fun day spent singing, dancing, and even crying.  I hope that you find 
inspiration, too.


HERE: 10 Dad Approved Songs



The Girl Is Mine by Michael Jackson &
Paul McCartney
I love this song choice sung by two music icons. It first appeared on Jackson's Thriller album. No Dad really wants to give up his daughter, making this song a fun pick! The lyrics are cute with words like "I love you more than he (take you anywhere) But I love you endlessly (loving we will share) But we both cannot have her, So it's one or the other And one day you'll discover, that she's my girl forever and ever." I can envision both the groom and his father-in-law having fun with it. Listen at iTunes.


Daughters By John Mayer
The words are perfect for expressing Fatherly love. The tempo is super slow, so just a box step will do. A great choice for the reluctant dancer. Listen at iTunes


My Girl by The Rolling Stones 
So my girl and her dad absolutely love The Rolling Stones. And this is one of the few songs by the band that features lyrics that wouldn't make the bride blush


Because You Loved Me Celine Dion
Pass out the tissue, the words to this song will promote tears. It is beautiful and very meaningful. Again it is super slow, so non dancers can just sway. 


How Sweet It is To Be Loved By You
Marvin Gaye
Old school cool. If Dad is into Motown  (who isn't?) he willove this choice.  The words are sweet, and it is fun pick for dancing.


Everybody Needs Somebody To Love 
The Rolling Stones
A fun fast dance for the Daddy and Daughter that aren't afraid to put on a show. The crowd will love it, and this song will get the party started. I actually can see "Mr. Shop This and Miss Shop This" dancing to this one.


I'm Only One Call Away Charlie Puth
And isn't this just where a Dad should be - one call away? It's a contemporary song that will make Dad look even cooler than he already is.


Whenever I Call You Friend
Dad will most likely remember this song. It is sweet, and the lyrics are all about love and friendship. Plus it gets a little uptempo, which gives you both a chance to cut loose.

 

Well, hopefully you are. Most girls are daddy's girls. The words are perfect for both dads and daughters. An oldie by Stevie Wonder, but a goodie. I wouldn't mind this at our daughter's upcoming wedding, as we played it during our own ceremony.


Happy By Pharell Williams
Because parents only want our children to be happy. Spread some happiness on the dance floor with this crowd pleasing song. Instead of tears, there will be smiles all around.
