I vote YES to "It's Raining Men," for sure.
For some reason, in my circle of friends, we all had "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" and the dance floor split into guys/girls singing it to each other. Is that a thing? Or was it just something we did?
You know, my big sister could really beat the crap out of her. I mean, really really.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I'm pretty sure everyone would run out to the dance floor for "It's Raining Men."
The song is fucking fun. And it is an invitation to have a motherfuckin' walk off!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Now is when I wish we could use gifs here. [link]

I'm just being weird about song content. So many slow songs are uber-romantic, and I'm not down for that for a father-daughter dance.
Oh, absolutely. I'm just saying, if you like the song, don't worry as much about the rhythm.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
My dad and I danced to "Moon River".

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Advantage of being Jamaican--a Bob Marley song would always be appropriate. We can dance to oppress...I mean downpression!

Nope. My *family* does it at weddings. Including mom and dad. We all know the lyrics and have the moves down.

I can't remember what my dad and I danced to! That's awful.

My dad is not a dancer, per se. Specific exceptions. At the wedding we went to a couple of weeks ago, the DJ played "3 Little Birds", and he went running all over the hall trying to find Emeline because that's "their" song. So awesome.
