Actually, yes, there is.
I'm used to the typical Brazilian wedding party formula: Play whatever is popular at the time, then play a gay hour (Village People, Gloria Gaynor and so on), some slow music for the groom and the bride, and then play the same music you played in the beginning.
However, there was this one DJ in São Paulo who, upon realising that he always played the very same thing, decided to work on his transitions and spice up the playlist: he made a jump-up version of the Grease soundtrack that made all the drunkards go crazy. He also played trance at some point... but I can't remember the tune.

Well hook the OP up with his info; I'm sure he'll fly him up to Canada for the gig!

You'll most likely only be able to find a crappy wedding dj as all the good ones will already be taken.
It specifically states next july if you read the original post.
I am in the Toronto area, the wedding is in Cambridge though

Since we're in June most people would view next July as in a month.... just sayin'

And "I Will Survive." Nothing gets drunk, overweight, middle-aged women on a dance floor holding their shoes in their left hand and drink in their right faster then that little gem.

The funny thing is how much they get paid to do it. They clean up, weddings are a goldmine.

I'm still not sure what he means :conf:
I will simply assume next month.
He needs to realize that good wedding organizing starts a year in advance. If he finds someone available they will be utter crap.
My oldest sister is a wedding photographer and is often book more than 1 year ahead. She's told me horror stories about people not planning and coming last minute but no luck for them as with anyone worth anything in the wedding industry, they will already be booked!

I couldn't do it. I would probably play this for the first dance for lulz.
