Song help for seating parents (80's/r&r theme)

Those are such awesome selections! I love them! I'm no help though, I'm trying to figure this out myself!

Billy Joel "Just the Way You Are"

Bad English "When I see You Smile"

Def Leppard "Two Steps Behind"

Sheryl Crowe's version of Sweet Child O'Mine?

I'm trying to stay in the upbeat mode. I really want the song selection to be fun. ... are there any songs for parents? Like, a "you raised me" kind of thing ... seriously, mind is not working. I'd like a song that could be particular for the parents, like the friendship song for BM/GM. The standard love songs are too bride/groom oriented for me.

Starship "Nothing's going to stop us now"

Queen "You're My Best Friend"

GNR "Sweet Child O' Mine"

Cyndi Lauper "Time After Time"

ETA: My advice would be Google "Alternative Father daughter dance Songs" to get an idea of something you like. Just by saying "alternative" means that they wont be sappy love songs like "Butterfly Kisses" or "I Loved Her First" and could totally apply to grandparents.

Its not from the 80's but "You'll Be in My Heart" by Phil Collins is a beautiful parent song. It actually makes me cry every time! Or maybe Billy Joel's "Just the Way You Are"

Thanks. I'm going to try the "alternative" search and see what comes up

It does quite fit with our theme but, I think we're going with John Fogerty – I Will Walk With You. It has the parent-y vibe I was looking for. And my parents will appreciate the country feel.

My mom is walking in to BeeGees (a little older than what you are looking for though) "To Love Somebody" My FMIL is walking in to Percy Sledge "When a Man Loves a Woman"
