You should play Band of Gold (not a band)!

I've already got Anyone but you - Moldy Peaches lined up for my wedding party

I played "Band of Gold" at my friend's wedding last year, oh the irony! "The Love You Save" by Jackson 5 was another party favorite.

The Intruders "(We'll Be) United" is my favorite wedding song. And if you're yearning for a sappy love-fest go no further than Colin Blunstone's "Her Song."

Ask this question when you're in the pub & drop in Popcorn - 'tis a guaranteed side-splitter...

...meaning when the bride comes down the isle, as opposed to at the reception.

Jez (Jez), Wednesday, 2 April 2003 21:28 (twenty-one years ago) link

Every other Jewish wedding I've been to, the band plays "The End of the Innocence." WTF?!

Amateurist (amateurist), Wednesday, 2 April 2003 21:29 (twenty-one years ago) link

oops...that should read aisle.

My friends' main stipulation to their wedding DJ?

"Absolutely NO Jimmy Buffett!"

How could anyone forget "Shining Star" by Earth Wind and Fire?
C'mon, you get to do the "Elaine" dance!!!!!

Would "Fuck Her Gently" by Tenacious D be inappropriate?

Davlo (Davlo), Wednesday, 2 April 2003 23:33 (twenty-one years ago) link

does the pope shit in the woods?

For the last time no. Get real. He's a very well respected leader of one of the worlds largest faiths, I doubt he's even at the level of having to use an outhouse. He probably has a huge marble and limestone convenience and lackeys handing him hot towels and pornography. For shame, Dave M, for shame!

You're not playing with a full deck, are you?

Anyway, I have truly grown to appreciate the Howard Jones songs "What is Love?" and "Like to Get to Know You Well" as love songs I can actually... love. Before then, the most romantic, mushiest song I liked was "Our House" by The Beatles. Oh, ok, I take that back -- I do like some Anita Baker songs -- in fact, I quite adore a few of them -- but she was so smooth that it was easy to forget that these were straight-on love songs she was singing. If almost anyone else (I'm giving props to Sade here) sang these songs, I'm sure I would've retched, but Anita Baker saved them.

I think I would play all of the above -- and then confound the masses by playing something along the lines of Pete Shelley's "Telephone Operator". You know, because "Every Breath You Take" is just too subtle. ;)

p.s.: this board is very addictive -- hope you don't mind me barging in!

"Love In An Elevator" is guaranteed to clear all the elderly off the dance floor before Steven even stops humming.

going down, mr. tyler?

Our House is NOT a Beatles tune - CSN did it

one year passes...
Surprised Jimmy Soul's "If You Wanna Be Happy" wasn't mentioned here.

Maybe this thread should be changed to inappropriate wedding songs?

My wedding soundtrack had Rammstein, Cat Power, Portishead and Hasidic New Wave.

joseph cotten (joseph cotten), Monday, 20 September 2004 18:08 (nineteen years ago) link

Hasidic New Wave

I have a really terrible pun I could drop here.

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 20 September 2004 18:52 (nineteen years ago) link

Do it, then.

joseph cotten (joseph cotten), Monday, 20 September 2004 19:11 (nineteen years ago) link

three years pass...

Of course there's also "The Winner Takes It All" by ABBA

Geir Hongro, Saturday, 17 May 2008 09:39 (fifteen years ago) link

And more or less the entire "Blood On The Tracks".

Geir Hongro, Saturday, 17 May 2008 09:42 (fifteen years ago) link

"Young Hearts Run Free". It's 70s, it's disco, it's great, even your gran's heard it so it should be a wedding disco classic. But the lyrics ,oh so bitter and inappropriate.

bidfurd, Saturday, 17 May 2008 19:04 (fifteen years ago) link

"Let's Get Married"--Al Green

ellaguru, Saturday, 17 May 2008 19:24 (fifteen years ago) link

Ward, I'm worried about Geir.

If Timi Yuro would be still alive, most other singers could shut up, Saturday, 17 May 2008 23:08 (fifteen years ago) link

@bidfurd, do you mean "young turks?"
@ellaguru, great pick!

the undertones "teenage kicks"

kartsaklis, Sunday, 18 May 2008 05:02 (fifteen years ago) link

bamcquern, Sunday, 18 May 2008 07:57 (fifteen years ago) link

I think Geir has just risen quite a bit in my estimation because of this thread :)
