What about the Chicken Dance or Hokey Pokey?
Some people love it, some people hate it. It's your wedding, and you might want to hear them, and you might not. But the point is at least let the DJ know your preference. If you hate these songs, you would hate to be surprised by your DJ playing them at the reception.
Group effort songs (i.e. the old "Electric Slide" always fills the floor. The Macarena and the Electric Slide became popular in their day because people who can't dance will usually get up and dance to a "group activity" song. A good conga line will always fill the floor.
Make sure you have a Flexible DJ. You may think this is absurd, but many DJs will not take song requests from guests!
A good DJ will work with you and your guests to ensure your event flows smoothly and the atmosphere is pleasing for everyone. This involves working with you, your guests, and the venue staff.
Each group of people is different. Your group of people might have the best time in the world with some of these songs - just remember, it's your decision.
