Difficult Father/Daughter Dance

So I have a difficult situation, because I'm trying to figure out a father/daughter dance with both my biological father, and stepfather (obviously at different times), except there's some issues: 1) My biological dad has never been quite a big father-figure in my life, but still has been around my...

So I have a difficult situation, because I'm trying to figure out a father/daughter dance with both my biological father, and stepfather (obviously at different times), except there's some issues:

1) My biological dad has never been quite a big father-figure in my life, but still has been around my entire life, so he's definitely getting a father/daughter dance;

2) My stepfather has acted like my father, and I consider him more like a father than my biological father, so he also is definitely getting a father/daughter dance;

3) My mother is not present during any this;

4) My stepfather keeps choosing very sentimental "father/daughter" songs, but they would offend my biological father, so we can't do too obviously sentimental;

5) My biological dad is big into The Beatles, Tom Petty, etc., so I would like to try to choose our song in that type of music, but that's proving to be difficult; and

6) Not country songs please.

I was wondering if you guys have some suggestions for this

    What about "God Only Knows" by The Beach Boys. It isn't technically father-daughter but has a sentimental side. If I end up doing a dance w/ my dad I may do that.

    I am confused. How could your dad not be a active, your SF be a father figure, and your mom not be present.

    I danced with my dad to unforgettable at my first wedding. It's a song about you but has a father daughter nuance since Natalie cole made a duet version with her dad. Might be an option for the step dad dance. My dad has since passed so at my recent wedding, I danced to you got a friend in me from toy story with my new father in law. It was very special!!!
