We’re Movin’… and Groovin’… and Dancin’ to the Music…

Anyone who knows me knows that I love to shake my ass. I started taking dance lessons when I was 3 years old and haven’t stopped since. I have a lot more ass to shake now, but I can still rock it like a champ. Mike likes to dance, too. That may come as a shock to some of you since he can be rather quiet, but find him in HEB and the right song comes over the PA, he’s a dancin’ fool.

Although Mike does like to get down with his bad self, he really doesn’t like “dance music”. Give him some Motown, or some classic 70’s funk or some Beasties and he’s good. But anything modern? He turns his nose up like a Jr. Leaguer at a honky-tonk.

This poses a problem come reception time. Cuz as much as I like to kick it old-school, I like new stuff as well. Mike has made comments about some of my choices and I’ve been conservative! If I had it my way we’d be knee-deep in Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Brit-Brit, JT and Urrrr-sher. (Sorry K-So, no Biebs. I draw the line at children’s music.)

SO, my darling, faithful readers. We need your help. I want you to pick one song you think is a must-play to get everyone bumpin’ and grindin’ on the floor. Post it in the comments section.  It’s your civic duty to do so. I’d like to say we have a prize for you if we pick a your song, however, we are paying for a wedding. And, anyway, knowing that you have helped bridge the gap between two radically different music tastes and restored harmony and peace to our relationship should be reward enough, don’t you think?

For now, I’m going to leave you with a song I would love to play at the wedding. It’s not on the list, however, because I know Mike would be all “WTF! WHY AM I MARRYING SOMEONE WHO SUCKS?” But, I love it. It makes me wanna “shake my ass all the way up this hill”. If I had a hill.  ALSO, I totally dig Dev’s choppy, asymmetrical hair cut.  I would totes get my hair done that way if I had the swagger to pull it off. I absolutely do not, but I may still do it after the wedding. I’m a rebel like that.
