The reception festivities begin with the first dance. It's tradition, and you've lulled over your favourite love songs with your partner, and begin dancing in the middle of a crowded room full of friends, family, caterers, photographers and amateur snappers with their cameras. Your first dance song says a lot about your personality, and the words of the song speak on your behalf as you dance. You would have carefully chosen the song.
If the 80s were famous for one thing, it would be the power ballad. The 80s were full of romance, ballads, and first dance song inspirations.
I Want to Know What Love Is by Foreigner is a rock power ballad. It's all about finally finding someone who has the power to rub out all the hurt and pain from abortive loves of the past. That personality will show what real love is.
Another 80s duet, this time, by Lionel Richie and Diana Ross is Endless Love. They sing that there's only one love in their lives, and that they want to share themselves with that special person.
Rush - Big Audio Dynamite This song is from the 90's but BAD was built from the Clash who were from the 80's (and 70's for that matter) so BAD gets in. The reason this song gets included is because there is an entire piano breakdown in the 2nd verse. Pianos don't get many of those.
80's dance music is secretly loved by all generation X. And instead of singing off key in your car go sing out load at your local rink You will find more and more 80's children are flocking back to "Xanadu" experience and you can't beat your $9 cover charge.
