Get your Groove on

I gotta feeling wooo hoooo, that’s tonight’s gonna be a good night, that tonight’s gonna be a good, good night….

I was listening to music yesterday. I know right, nothing unusual about that, but it was one of those liberating moments.
I don’t normally crank it up in the car as I think showing off with music blaring is an attention seeking act I want no part of. I still don’t, but I did it at the weekend.

I was listening for wedding playlists & got lost in the love of the new Mark Ronson album, don’t ask how I got my sticky mits on it already, but do go buy it if you like Bang Bang Bang!

Anyway, it got me thinking about the first dance. What are the best tunes?
Have you googled this before?? OMG. Cheesetastic.
I know its supposed to be romantic, but Phill Collins is wedding magazine’s number 1???
Not for me thanks!

Well I want to give you some ideas… a bit of an alternative list…
These I have either heard at a wedding or have heard positive responses!
To keep it down from 100… here’s 10 for today’s considerations

10. Rome wasn’t Built in a Day- Morcheeba
Kind of simbolises a relationship for me. It was my friend Rachel’s first dance song, 7 years ago.. and I still remember it for being such a geat choice!!
9. Dangerously In Love 2, Beyonce
Not overplayed, cool & groovy, full of passionate love!
8. Closest thing to Crazy, Katie Melua
7. You got the love, Florence & The Machine or Candi Staton Version
6. Starry Eyed, Ellie Goulding
5. Deja Vu, Beyonce
4. Gold, Beverly Knight
3. Praise You, Fatboy Slim
2. Love Lockdown, Kanye West
1. Come Away with Me, Norah Jones

Norah Jone’s Come Away with me has been a favourite of mine for sometime… long before I met Rob, I was lying on the beach in Bali listenign to it & it just felt so dreamy.

I’d LOVE to know what yours were or are going to be?! Please do tell.

Shake your Tamberella!
