Father/Daughter Dance Songs - Classic Rock

Lara, on April 14, 2015 at 10:02 AM Posted in Planning 0 17

Anyone have any suggestions of classic rock songs for the Father/Daughter dance? My dad suggested Warren Zevon this morning and it's back to the drawing board. His time is more the Beatles and the Doors, Vietnam War era. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks!

    Maricle2Be, when I listened to the Warren Zevon song he suggested, I wanted to go jump out the window. I totally feel your pain!

    Welcome! Fwit, I had to look up Warren Zevon. I only recognized "Werewolves of London."

    Werewolves of London is his most popular. There's also the song Excitable Boy about a boy who kills his prom date...not exactly wedding material, IMO ;-)

    I'm struggling with this too. My dad loves ACDC, Led Zepplin, etc. and I am determined to find something 80s rock that we can dance to that isn't cliché.

    Temptations - My Girl

    Cat Stevens - Wild World

    We're doing a song by Eddie Vedder. Not classic rock, but different than the traditional sappy, cheesy songs.

    WWKatie, I was just thinking that I am probably older than a lot of these brides' (and grooms') parents Smiley smile

    I just sent my dad:

    You've Got a Friend - James Taylor

    Tupelo Honey - Van Morrison

    Daughter - Loudon Wainwright

    I think the lyrics to Daughter fit me pretty well (""everything she sees, she wants" lol) and I like that it's less sappy/more lighthearted!

    Totally stuck here too... got my father-daughter dance song picked (country) , but haven’t found a song for my step-dad. He’s more rock roll and loves classic rock and appreciates modern heavy metal. Kiss and Godsmack being two of his faves... suggestions?
