Is the "Mashed Potato" appropriate?

A pair of regular Route1 readers (there's what... 12 of you now?) are getting hitched soon but they haven't settled on one important decision -- the FIRST DANCE song for the wedding reception.
That's where this week's FRIDAY QUESTION comes in to lend its help. Q: What would make a good FIRST DANCE song at a wedding reception and why?
Jill H. -- "Time After Time" by Chet Baker. It says it all!
Roseanne H. -- "At Last" by Lou Rawls. That was our first dance on 4/29/90.
Ann M. -- "Good Morning Beautiful" is a good first dance song.
Inger H. -- "Such Great Heights" by the Postal Service. The song that has the lyric about the freckles in our eyes are perfectly aligned.
Scout S. -- "Chinese Rock" by the Ramones. Because f*ck your parents, man.
Rick T. -- "If Tomorrow Never Comes" by Garth Brooks. This song says it all!
Dave B. -- "Walk Forever By My Side" by The Alarm. Because it was my wedding song.
Mike D. -- Devo's version of "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction." If those two can dance that one together and still look lovingly into each other's eyes, their union can withstand anything. And for the parent's dance, perhaps something off of "Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo."
Steve M. -- "Go All the Way" by the Raspberries. 'Cause it is a great song that kicks ass. Gets the juices flowing.
Diane H. -- "To Make You Feel My Love" by Bob Dylan. It's got such beautiful lyrics.
Ken B. -- "Rock the Casbah" by The Clash.
Kerstin H. and Annika H. -- "After All (Love Theme from Chances Are)" by Cher.
Matt K. -- How about Billy Idol's "White Wedding?"
Angie A. -- "Love of a Lifetime" by REO Speedwagon. I just saw them in concert on July 21 and they were great. Any of their songs would be appropriate for the first dance.
Erik H. -- I kidded the groom-to-be one day that he should have Slade provide the first dance song. Then I thought about it. Why shouldn't Slade provide the first dance song? I choose "Everyday," the band's UK No. 3 hit ballad from 1974. It fits all the first-dance criteria: It is a slow song with lyrics about the endless capabilities of love sung by a vocalist (thanks Noddy!) who obviously cares about what he is singing. Perfect!
