Finding the perfect Father Daughter Dance Song can be a difficult task. So many overdone “classics” you’d rather never hear. Too many cheesy father daughter dance songs that make you gag a little. The moment when your father dances with you on your wedding day should be special but you don’t have to choose a song that has been done to death. Growing up are there any songs that stand out in your mind? Something your dad played in the station wagon/van/SUV on the way to a special place. I can’t remember any either. So here is my list of Alternative to the normal Father Daughter Dance songs.
So here is my top 20 alternative father daughter dance songs:
- Forever – Dropkick Murphy’s

I danced to Kind and Generous by Natalie Merchant. It was perfect as my dad is the most kind and generous person I know 🙂
In our family, the tradition is that my father picks the father-daughter dance song, and it remains a surprise to everyone else until it’s time for the dance and the music starts playing.
For my wedding, he chose Billy Joel’s “Lullabye,” which definitely is not an “alternative” father-daughter dance song, but it did play off an inside joke we’ve had since I was a bratty teenager. So while it may have seemed simply sappy and sweet to everyone else, to me, my dad, and a few family members, it was also hilarious.
