Non shit songs to play at a wedding
 

Hey guys, I'm getting married in a few weeks, and we are trying to sort out the music. We are trying to ban cheesy shit from the playlist, and wanted suggestions as what could be played that is perhaps romantic, but not cheesy pop stuff.

We are also looking for suggestions for a first dance song.

Bad suggestions:

Anything by Anal C*nt
ACDC- 'Highway to hell'
Anti Nowhere League - 'So what'

Sadly I think the best thing we came up with for a first dance was 'Do you realise' by Flaming Lips or something by REM :confused:

All non evil suggestions are welcome.

Tupac - Me & My Girlfriend

Good choice. I was expecting you to suggest Mogwai or something.

We could dance to 'Like Herod' That would finish off quite a few of the oaps in attendance.

I think it would be appropriate for your gf to start overturning tables and going nuts at the break

What!! I'm bustin on you punk ass niggaz *automatic gunfire*
Run nigga run! *gunfire* I'm on yo' ass nigga! *gunfire continues*
Run nigga, duck and hide! Nigga I'm bustin all you bitches!
Run nigga, yeah! Westside! Uh uh uh! Die nigga die!

the first live gig i ever played was at a friends wedding when i was 17 or so. he sang this song as a suprise for his wife. it was pretty sweet

the greatest song in the world.

my wedding ban list:

boston- "amanda" (his ex gf's name)

any pink, christina aguilera
any "fake irish" music (spirit of the west, great big sea, etc)

i think he's banning red house painters. hah.

a magnetic fields song for first dance.

as far as rem "talk about the passion" or "perfect circle" are lovely first dance choices! :)

Great ideas - I think she is pushing for "At my most beautiful" I think that might be too romantic.

nooo! at my most beautiful would be gorgeous! :)

another one on my ban list: natasha bedingfield, UGH UGH UGH

Ben Folds "The Luckiest"

WORST FIRST DANCE SONGS:

etta james- at last (boooooooooooooooring, predictable, run of the mill. it was xtina augilera's wedding song if that's any indication of its lameness)

bon jovi- bed of roses/always (white trash)

luther vandross- here and now (you don't watch oprah and it's not 1990

R.E.M - Be Mine

bizmarkie - just a friend

ahsed YUOOO

got what ah NEEEEED

"By Starlight" might work. Get someone to play it on a piano or something, the "dead eyes" part might seem a bit gloomy, but otherwise it could be suitable

by starlight would be horrible.

he mentioned nothing about the sp so go away.

:banging:

are you really adverse to spelling out cunt.

Sec Walkin - My Morning Jacket

The Psychedelic Furs - Wedding Song

untitled by neutral milk hotel

radiohead

wooly bully

:smoke:

jim carroll band - people who died

I seem to recall you playing the Star-Spangled Banner at a pep rally.

I Love My Bitch.

...anything by the carpenters... gallops across generations. generally classy.

this was pre-SSB

but thanks for remembering. ha

I really like Mason Jennings' "Ballad For My One True Love". I don't really like any of the other stuff I have heard of his but I think it's a sweet song and like his voice in it.

didn't i once suggest that you get a live band and take the mic for "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" with lots of roses scattered on the floor?

If you did I hope you were joking.

well its either that or Sex Farm

Pretty much any Spinal Tap song classes up an event like this. Big Bottom would work well, too.

Personally I would choose By Starlight for sure.

I think a lot of flaming lips songs are suitable, but yeah Do You Realize is a bit cheesy and overplayed. Vein of Stars might actually be pretty cool.

or Simply Red's Stars

is it ok to like that song

i mean, really like it

last time i posted on here you were debating to play on a world tour with an artisit you didn't rate that highly...what did you decide to do?

well "artist" is a bit of a stretch, more like sellout wannabe hack with some bigshot management...i didn't go for it. i went to a few meetings to see what it was about and it was complete bullshit. i've got principles, man.

This is what I am dancing to when I get married; The Flamingo's I Only Have Eyes For You



Probably one of the nicest songs ever.

I forced my sister into playing "Green Onions" by Booker T & The MG's for her wedding party entrance. There was NO way I was was walking out to "Celebrate Good Times!" Needless to say it was a pretty bad ass entrance song.
