What was "Your" song you danced to at your wedding?

[LostinVA]

I was just thinking about this a few minutes ago, and thought it would be interesting to see what everyone chose: we have so many diverse backgrounds, ages, etc. on here.





Ours was "Chasing Cars" by Snow Patrol.

[taterguy]

1. Baby Let Me Bang Your Box by Doug Clark & the Hot Nuts

[LostinVA]

5. I totally believe you

[AnneD]

67. I haven't heard about them in a long time...

I like that gospel number they did,"He's got the whole world....by the balls."

[Arugula Latte]

78. Aw, how sweet. You sentimental fool, you.

:rofl:

[Rabrrrrrr]

2. Zappa's "Briefcase Boogie"

[Strawman]

17. Not "Artificial Rhonda?"

[Rabrrrrrr]

31. No, Artificial Rhonda would be inappropriate for a family setting like a wedding reception.

Briefcase Boogie is much better.

[EstimatedProphet]

3. Beyond The Sea - Bobby Darin

[LostinVA]

6. I'll admit I love that song

I also love the original "Gidget" movie.

[guitar man]

4. Baby's Got Back

by Sir Mix a Lot :D

:rofl:

:hide:

[LostinVA]

7. That was played at our reception!

[guitar man]

11. hehe

I don't think it was actaully out since we got married in '91 (shit we're getting old):(

The actual song was "When a Man Loves a Woman"

:hi:

[LostinVA]

12. OOOOO -- I love that song

[guitar man]

15. me too

It was funny because we were married in a courthouse that day, but I had a gig playing a wedding reception for some friends who were married on the same day, so we both went. That was a tune the band could do without me and it was a favorite for both of us so I stepped off the stage to dance with my new bride :)

[flvegan]

8. "Jungle Love" by Morris Day and The m'fing Time

Jesse, n-now Jerome

O we o we o.

Just kidding. It's my deadly earworm today, though. Dunno why.

[MorningGlow]

10. What time is it!

OMG I love that song. They absolutely stole the show in Purple Rain.

[flvegan]

14. In "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" too.

[MorningGlow]

19. Dude, you made me drop $0.99 at iTunes just now! n/t

[MAGICBULLET]

42. hahaha you're the man

Yessssss!

o we o we o

[mtnester]

47. (I secretly love that song) OMG

Did I say that outloud?

[MorningGlow]

9. "At Last"

Because we were OLD by the time we married (okay, in our mid-30's).
:rofl:

Then it was tainted four years later, when my super annoying, gods-I-hated-her boss picked it as her wedding song too, even though she knew it had been mine. :eyes:

[LostinVA]

13. Passive-aggressive bosses are great, huh?

[MorningGlow]

18. She was just so f'in stupid on so many levels

This was just one more transgression on a giant pile of 'em. Never met a woman who could piss off so many people without even noticing--it's like in some comedy where the character walks down the street, inadvertently causing massive amounts of destruction behind him/her, and never turning around to notice the car crashes, explosions, and personal injuries in his/her wake.

Plus she made 2 1/2 times what I did, and I did all the work, including handling all the crisis calls in the middle of the night and on weekends. But she "strategized". :eyes:

Not that I'm bitter or anything.
:rofl:

[fight4my3sons]

61. That was our song too.

I had just always loved it. I was 27, my husband 25 when we got married.

[LynneSin]

16. Baby Got Back by Sir Mixalot

Perhaps why I never got married

[zingaro]

63. lol this is my son's favorite song.

He's five and a half.

Shrek influenced. :rofl:

[TommyO]

20. Keeper of the Stars by Tracy Byrd

I haven't listed to it since our breakup.

[PVnRT]

21. That one Kelly Clarkson song

I don't really remember what it's called, we just couldn't find anything better on our respective iTunes.

"Too Drunk To Fuck" would be a good one.

[Rambis]

22. Crazy Love: Van the man (nm)

x

[MorningGlow]

23. Oooh good one n/t

[puerco-bellies]

24. Me and Ali will be married a week from Friday, our song will be Moondance.

OMG I can't find a YouTube video of Van Morrison's Moondance

[KitchenWitch]

36. Good choice!

Into the Mystic would be good too.

[puerco-bellies]

74. Into the Mystic would be a very good choice too.

That song will also be played that night.

[KitchenWitch]

80. You all have a great time.

Enjoy the night!

:D

[The empressof all]

25. A Heart Needs a Home

It'll be 23 years in April and this song still makes me cry.

[Throd]

26. "Possum Kingdom" by the Toadies

[gbate]

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

27. "Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald"

My lawyer and I should have seen that one coming, eh?

[soleft]

54. lol

[bullwinkle428]

28. "Wonderful Tonight" by Eric Clapton - of course, now that

I'm divorced, that song is completely ruined for life as far as I'm concerned!

[halobeam]

29. Leon Russell-- "A Song For You"

[LostinVA]

30. Is that the same one Karen Carpenter sang?

[halobeam]

32. Yeah.. she sang his song... Leon wrote it....

I like the way he sings it better though...

[LostinVA]

33. I love her version of it, so if his is even better, it was a great choice

[halobeam]

34. you should def. check this link out.... different

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-AjG7v9NQs

[KitchenWitch]

35. "I could not ask for more" - Edwin McCain

[LostinVA]

46. We played that

[MAGICBULLET]

37. not married yet

but I DJ weddings all the time and I must say the nicest song I've played for a couple thus far is a sweet soul song by Lee Williams called "I Love You More"

<http://youtube.com/watch?v=Z-9L6gAFmK8>

[MissMillie]

95. I'm not either, but if my hypothetical partner would agree

I'd choose "Someone Like You" by Van Morrison.

[mtnester]

38. John Martyn - Could not Love You More

[LynneSin]

50. Did ANYONE in the lounge need those details

:eyes:

[Magrittes Pipe]

51. If only I could have stayed awake for the end of the song.

:(

[LynneSin]

52. I hope Dolo kicks your ass because you deserve if for that comment

:D

[Magrittes Pipe]

57. I'll leave an "upper decker" in your bathroom.

[LynzM]

41. Come What May - from Moulin Rouge

:)

Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
I want to vanish inside your kiss
Every day I love you more and more
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sing
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change, winter to spring
But I love you until the end of time

Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life doesnt't seem such a waste
It all revolves around you
And there's no mountain too high
No river too wide
Sing out this song I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather
And stars may collide
But I love you until the end of time

Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day

Oh, come what may, come what may
I will love you, I will love you
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place

[Richardo]

48. "Spin on a Red Brick Floor" by Nanci Griffith

:)

[hobbit709]

49. "When I'm Sixty-Four"-The Beatles

We called it the "Jerry Garcia Memorial Wedding"-Everyone had to wear tie-dye. On the front of the invitations I printed Donna's quote to me "You can forget about that obey part"

[soleft]

53. Here's My Heart from the movie Metropolis

Only we loved the way Pat Benatar sang it on the soundtrack - the band we booked just completely masacred it - I was embarrassed to dance to it. Fortunately I was really drunk, and we were able to dub Pat's version into the video.

[Westegg]

55. We did the Charleston to Led Zeppelin's "The Crunge."

[Missy Vixen]

56. "True Companion", Marc Cohn n/t

[Javaman]

58. My Big Ten Inch..."

"...record of the blues" by Bullmoose Johnson.

We got a few reactions with that one. LOL

[Inchworm]

59. Yours was an excellent choice

I was fairly drunk at mine and really think I suppressed the evil memory :D

:hi:

[no name no slogan]

60. Mine was one I wrote and recorded with my band

It was a song I wrote for my (now ex-)wife while we were dating.

[ScreamingMeemie]

62. If we had had a wedding with a traditional song it would probably have

been Annie's Song. Of course he always would sing "Good Hearted Woman..." to me.

[MissMillie]

96. I love Annie's Song

spectacular sentiment put to music.

:thumbsup:

:hug:

[HughBeaumont]

64. "Avalon" by Roxy Music

It was the only slow song she didn't hate.

[MISSDem]

65. Which one?

But I don't remember dancing at any of them. Maybe THAT was the problem.

[Blue-Jay]

66. "Drink And Fight" by The Mudmen.

[Burma Jones]

68. "Attics of My Life" Grateful Dead

Many were perplexed.......

[NC_Nurse]

84. Beautiful song.

:)

[OmahaBlueDog]

69. "Up Where We Belong" from An Officer & A Gentleman

The movie was one of our first dates.

[youthere]

70. Ann Murray "Could I have this Dance"

[Critters2]

87. I love that song! nt

[MotorCityMan]

71. Well, if I COULD get married

With my late partner, who was the first man I met that I would have married, it would have been "If You Ever Have Forever in Mind" by Vince Gill.

With my current partner, the second man I've known I would marry, it would be "If I Were You" by Colin Raye.

I like the song "Chasing Cars" but I always think it sounds so sad, probably because of how they used it in Grey's Anatomy.

[gbate]

99. Aw, motorcityman.

:(

[KansDem]

72. "Be My Life's Companion (and You'll Never Grow Old)"

Be my life's companion, and you'll never grow old
I'll love you so much that you'll never grow old
When there's joy in livin' you just never grow old
You've got to stay young 'cause you'll never grow old
People who are lonely can be old at thirty-three
Don't let it happen to you, it didn't happen to me
Be my life's companion and you'll never grow old
You'll never grow old, no, you'll never grow old
Love and youth and happiness are yours to have and hold
Be my life's companion, and you'll never grow old
I know a man who's lonely, and he's old at thirty-three
No one wants to be - old at thirty-three
Your disposition sours like a lemon on a tree
Don't let it happen to you, and I won't let it happen to me
Be my life's companion and you'll never grow old
I'll love you so much that you'll never grow old
Love and youth and happiness are yours to have and hold
Be my life's companion and you'll never grow old
Be my life's companion and you'll never grow old
Lucille, I'll love you so much that you'll never grow old
Love and youth and happiness are yours to have and hold
Be my life's companion and you'll never grow old

Bob Hilliard (lyricist) and Milton De Lugg (composer), published in 1951.

76. "Something in the Way she Moves" by James Taylor. nt

[RetroLounge]

77. We had a live Jazz Trio at our ceremony

They played hendrix's Little Wing on the way in, the kd lang version of So In Love during the ceremony. The singer nailed it! They played Chet Baker Lets Get Lost on the way out.

At the reception, our first dance was to She's No Lady by Lyle Lovett followed by Head over Feet by Alannis...

:hi:

RL

[SoxFan]

79. "I Will Always Love You"

The Dolly Parton version, not the histrionic Whitney Houston one.

The other song I really remember is "I Melt With You" by Modern English. We had a gaggle of 80s college rock babies for whom that song is a real generational anthem!

[hellbound-liberal]

81. Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman? by Bryan Adams

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pJoMeEg8cM

It had special significance because "Please Forgive Me" by Bryan Adams was a very important song for us

[fudge stripe cookays]

82. "One of the Best Ones" - Bruce Cockburn

Probably the only time we've ever danced to anything. We're not big dancers. But it was very nice. :loveya:

http://www.soundflavor.com/track.php?trackId=8662 (30 second clip)

"Guess I'd get along without you
If I had no choice
It's taken me this long to find you

Done a lot of getting ready for this
Some things we learn so slow
But look at you, you've got plenty behind you

There's lots of ways to hit the ground
Not many answers to be found
We're faced with mysteries profound
And this is one of the best ones

There are eight million mysteries
In the naked body
Can't even sight on some distant horizon

Like the nine billion names of God
Don't bring you any closer
To anyone you can simply set eyes on

But in the same way it's as real
Don't always recognize what I feel
But of the dancing scenes that life reveals
This is one of the best ones

Say what you will
There's no snake oil or pill
Can make love less painful or fine
There's no theatre
Even of the absurd
Can express what goes on in this meeting of hearts and minds

Guess I'd get along without you
If I had no choice
But please never make it so I have to

Paid a lot of dues to get here
And after all this life
I'm a loser if I don't live with you


There's lots of ways to hit the ground
Not many answers to be found
We're faced with mysteries profound
And this is one of the best ones"

[liberaltrucker]

83. THE KEEPER OF THE STARS (Tracy Byrd)

It was no accident me finding you
Someone had a hand in it
Long before we ever knew
Now I just can't believe you're in my life
Heaven's smilin' down on me
As I look at you tonight

CHORUS:
I tip my hat to the keeper of the stars
He sure knew what he was doin'
When he joined these two hearts
I hold everything
When I hold you in my arms
I've got all I'll ever need
Thanks to the keeper of the stars

Soft moonlight on your face oh how you shine
It takes my breath away
Just to look into your eyes
I know I don't deserve a treasure like you
There really are no words
To show my gratitude

REPEAT CHORUS

It was no accident me finding you
Someone had a hand in it
Long before we ever knew

[NC_Nurse]

85. We played the album "Victorialand" by the Cocteau Twins during the

ceremony, in the background. It was lovely. O8)

[Critters2]

86. Here's the wierd thing: I don't remember what my ex and I danced to.

My dad and I danced to "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong. Nice rhythm for a box step.

[JackBeck]

88. "Nothing Fails"

By Madonna.

Suck it haters.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPfapY3K7H0

[Tektonik]

89. Good song

But ugh the remake of that classic movie was the worst thing she's done in her career :(

[JackBeck]

90. That youtube was the only representation of the song I could find.

And I don't approve. Love my Madonna, but don't let the video and movie take away from the song.

But nonetheless, that ended up being our wedding song.

[WCGreen]

91. Too Drunk TO Fuck...

Dead Kennedy's....

Nah, really it was D.I.V.O.R.C.E.

Nah, it was really Somewhere Over the Rainbow...

[liberaltrucker]

92. Pass the doob, OK?

And careful with the O2!

:hi:

[semillama]

93. Sarah Harmer's "Open Window" n/t

[Deep13]

94. No dancing at mine, but our song was "My Best Friend" performed by Queen. nt
