Do you have any suggestions on what to play for the Money Dance/Honeymoon Dance song(s)?

Below are suggestions of what I found while surfing the web.
We prefer the songs that don’t sound greedy!  =D
The purpose of our Money Dance is for tradition as well as some personal one-on-one time with our guests.
Here’s an article I found on Money Dance/Dollar Dance:  http://www.walkerpub.com/moneydance.html .
And I thought the Money Dance was just a Filipino and Hispanic tradition!

Mr. Bloom and I discussed what we wanted to give to our wedding guests as thank you favours.  We decided on giving a CD to one half of a couple and a personalized shot glass to the other half.

He prefers his microbrewery or Czech beer!  At each of these restaurants, I would snap a pic of the cocktail menu with my camera phone.  Sometimes, I’d be lucky enough to bring a cocktail menu home.

I’ve also taken the opportunity to drink a little more of my favourites (okay, a lot more! *hiccup*) to see how my guests would feel the day after.  Basically, overimbibing the stronger liquor with more sugar content especially in a mixed cocktail results in the worse hangovers.  High sugar content liquors include
