I need some ideas for a non-conventional wedding song that we will dance to....?

We like all types of music, with the exceptions really of hip hop. I was actually trying to think of a song by someone like Pantera, or DKM, Real McKenzies, Neil Diamond, Tom Jones, Louis Armstrong...you see we are pretty varied. I was even thinking zombie. I can't think of a good love song though, that involves spending the rest of your life with the one you love. This would be the song we dance to at the reception. Any ideas?

Where is this song from?

This stupid song has been bugging me for so long now! It's called "The Peanut Vendor" by Stan Kenton. I heard it at a concert and I could have sworn I'd heard it somewhere else. I know it's cuban, but I haven't really seen any cuban movies. Does anyone know if the song has been in movies??
