At the Team in Training “Victory Dinner” after the Vancouver marathon, we were lucky enough to have one of the best “bad wedding DJ” DJs cranking out the jams.
Included in the first 20 songs:
- The Chicken Dance
- YMCA
- Shout
- Macarena
- Mambo No. 5
When he realized he couldn’t transition into “Butterfly Kisses” or “Remember When,” he rolled with the punches and turned into a bad karaoke DJ with:
- Like a Prayer
- Don’t Stop Believin’
- You Give Love a Bad Name
- You Shook Me All Night Long
Edit: The DJ also played “Pour Some Sugar On Me” … Thanks (sort of) for the reminder Mike.
At one point, I said “Now all we need is ‘I Will Survive’ and the electric slide to round out the night” … the next song was awkwardly cross-faded in … AT FIRST I WAS AFRAID … I WAS PETRIFIED …
Unfortunately, no one on the dance floor started the electric slide, so we were obliged to do so … half ironically, half to have fun with it.
We (being the group from Texas along with a few other folks from Washington) were the only people executing the stereotypically terrible line dance on the dance floor. Several Canadian onlookers seemed bewildered. Do Canadians know the electric slide?
Also … If you heard the most cliche DJ were going to play for one of your events, in addition to the above songs, what would you expect to hear?
