10 Totally Played Out Wedding Songs That Will Still Pack the Dance Floor at Your Reception

7. "Brick House"

I've never quite understood why women want to be compared to an outdoor toilet (brick shithouse, as it were), but they sure as hell love this song.

6. "Shout"

This gospel-infused Isley Brothers song made popular in Animal House is the second best crowd participation song on this list and one of the best that does not involve the words "Hokey" or "Pokey."

5. Celebration

This song reminds me as much of middle school as it does weddings, but that's because I'm old. Still, the on-the-nose theme of this song may seem ultra-cheesy, but so are most weddings.
