Best Wedding Dance Song

[RhinoinMN]

A friend of mine is getting married next Friday. Him and his fiance are fighting over what their first dance song should be. She wants Your the Inspiration by Chigago....yech!

He wants Into the Mystic by Van Morrison which is a great song, but questionable for a first dance song at a wedding. What do you think would be the best first dance song at a wedding?

[Tall_James]

"At Last" by Etta James

[drjoek]

Fuckin in the Butt by David Allan Coe

[grlNIN]

"Oh My Love"- John Lennon.

If that's not my first dance song as a married couple then he is going to have it rough for countless years to come.

[Earlshog]

"Someone needs to fix these phones" Perrynoid

[Furtherman]

I've never really thought about it but Dave & Casey's choice of "Cupid" by Sam Cooke was a great choice.

[RhinoinMN]

I've never really thought about it but Dave & Casey's choice of "Cupid" by Sam Cooke was a great choice.

Was it "Cupid" or, "You Send Me"? Either way you can't go wrong.

p.s. Does anybody know if the acoustic version of "A Girl Like You" played at the DC Connection's wedding is available for download?

[Badinia]

"I Want Your Sex" by George Michael.

Remember, when it came out, he was still heterosexual!

[badorties]

my wife and i were debating between these two ... both about 2:00, moderate tempo and great (and appropiate) lyrics

johnny cash's version of "memories are made of this"
joe tex's "i want to (do everything for you)"

we went with johnny cash

Take one fresh and tender kiss / Add one stolen night of bliss / One girl, one boy, some grief, some joy / Memories are made of this

Don't forget a small moonbeam / Fold it lightly with a dream / Your lips and mine to sip the wine / Memories are made of this

Then at the wedding bells / One house where lovers dwell / Three little kids for the flavor / Stir carefully through the day / See how the flavor stays / These are the dreams that we must savor

With His blessings from above / Serve it generously with love / One man, one wife, one love for life / Memories are made of this

Second that, Sarah and I are going Cash too:

Rose Of My Heart




We're the best partners this world's ever seen
Together as close as can be
But sometimes it's hard to find time in between
To tell you what you are to me

You are the rose of my heart
You are the love of my life
A flower not faded nor falling apart
If you're tired, rest your head on my arm
Rose of my Heart.

When sorrow holds you in her arms of clay
It's raindrops that fall from your eyes
Your smile is the dun come to earth for a day
You brighten my blackest of skies

You are the rose of my heart
You are the love of my life
A flower not faded nor falling apart
If you're cool let my love make you warm
Rose of my heart


So hard times are easy times, what do I care
There's nothing I'd change if I could
The tears and the laughter are things that we share
Your hand in mine makes all times good



You are the rose of my heart
You are the love of my life
A flower not faded nor falling apart
You're my harbour in life's restless storm
Rose of my heart.

My sister who is getting married Saturday is going with Better Together by Jack Johnson.

Best wedding song ever...

Wedding Song for Dave & Casey (http://www.atomsmotion.com/uploads/davewedding.mp3)

People are so strange about their weddings. What difference does a stupid song mean?

BTW, mine was the same as Karen and Henry's. I stole it from the movie and the wife went along with it!

[King Hippos Bandaid]

Now that would be a wedding worth going to.

I would say Spend a Lifetime- Jamiroquai

"Picture in a frame" - Tom Waits


Sun come up it was blue and gold
Sun come up it was blue and gold
Sun come up it was blue and gold
Ever since I put your picture
In a frame.

I come calling in my Sunday best
I come calling in my Sunday best
I come calling in my Sunday best
Ever since I put your picture
In a frame

I'm gonna love you
Till the wheels come off
Oh yea

I love you baby and I always will
I love you baby and I always will
I love you baby and I always will
Ever since I put your picture
In a frame

[zathrus]

I picked "I knew, Iloved you" by savage garden

[EffMeBoobs]

Our song was "I Wish You Were My Home" by Corn Mo. It reminded Lou of me while I was out traveling for work so much, that the song made him think that he should propose to me soon. I know..........awww awwwww.

[mikeyboy]

We used Elvis' "Can't Help Falling in Love"

We were thinking about using Nat King Cole's "The Very Thought of You", but then they started using it in a car commercial.

[Freitag]

Ours was "Grow Old With Me", written by Lennon, performed by Mary Chapin Carpenter. Liz liked the song and I did too, although it didn't really have a "our song" vibe to it until after we got engaged.

Our last dances were an acoustic only version of "Thunder Road" by Springsteen from the "Plugged" live album, and "Mutineer" by Warren Zevon.

Mother-Son dance was Rod Stewart's version of "I'll Stand By You", Father-Daughter dance was the Beatles' "In My Life".

[Freitag]

He wants Into the Mystic by Van Morrison which is a great song, but questionable for a first dance song at a wedding. What do you think would be the best first dance song at a wedding?

I love this song and if you can find the right arrangement, it could work. Is he having a band or a DJ?

Reviewing the lyrics, I don't see the issue with the song. Is it the horn breaks that you're questioning?

[Tall_James]

We used Elvis' "Can't Help Falling in Love"


For God's sakes Mikey, do you have to do everything I do?

[buzzard]

The Hokey Pokey?..it invariably winds up with some degenerate dancing with all the children. even worse,a friend of mine had "Lost In Love" by (cut-off their)Air Supply!
seriously,you guys must have"a song"...use that!:thumbup:

[RhinoinMN]

He is having a D.J. Personally, I think Into the Mystic would be fantastic, but I don't think that his chic "gets it." As I mentioned before, she wants "Your the Inspiration" so I think that she needs the first dance song to SPELL IT OUT for her. I'm afraid that my friend has a long road ahead.

We were gonna use that song as the theme for the wedding... but I deemed it too creepy for the first dance.

[Bob Impact]

I thought you danced to Andy You're a Star.

[epo]

John Hiatt: Have a Little Faith in Me?

[Thebazile78]

I've never really thought about it but Dave & Casey's choice of "Cupid" by Sam Cooke was a great choice.

To tell the truth, I cringed at that mostly because it's about unrequited love.

But, if that's a song that makes them think of each other, well, it takes all kinds to make a world.

[topless_mike]

I've never really thought about it but Dave & Casey's choice of "Cupid" by Sam Cooke was a great choice.

it was actually "you send me", not cupid

[topless_mike]

we used "unchained melody"

Great pick. This song gives me chills everytime I listen to it. And thats coming from a recluse with no one to associate it with when I hear it.

[Bulldogcakes]

Second that, Sarah and I are going Cash too:

"Hurt" should get the old folks dancin!

[Garyisajoke]

I've always thought "It Makes No Difference" by the Band would be good but what do I know.

[Bulldogcakes]

They make people that dumb? Worst pick EVER!

I'm with RB. "You're the inspiration" is like Novocaine on the brain.

[DarkHippie]

I always thought 'thank you' by led zeppelin would be a great wedding song

[Hottub]

Yeah. You also thought I was a fat, old man.

0 for 2, Bud.:tongue:

[DarkHippie]

Yeah. You also thought I was a fat, old man.



I was looking in my crystal ball ;)

[El Mudo]

We were gonna use that song as the theme for the wedding... but I deemed it too creepy for the first dance.



Really? It doesn't seem all that creepy to me? Is it too much saxophone?


I think its a very deep, very romantic song

[Ritalin]

Hey, what about "Video Killed the Radiostar"?

It was the first song on MTV, and it could be the first song of your marriage.

(I know..too smart for the room)

[IamFogHat]

There is no traditional good wedding song. Tell him to make it and her all their own.

[mikeyboy]

I've always thought "It Makes No Difference" by the Band would be good but what do I know.

Awesome song, but I think it's sung from the point of view of a guy whose chick has left him, hence not the best wedding song.

[mikeyboy]

For God's sakes Mikey, do you have to do everything I do?

So... is anyone in your neighborhood selling their house?

[Garyisajoke]

Awesome song, but I think it's sung from the point of view of a guy whose chick has left him, hence not the best wedding song.

I see it as undying love and devotion but yeah, good point.... I figured the rhythm, melody, etc. makes it perfect for a first dance, though, and my relatives will be too loaded to notice. +1.

I Could Not Ask For More - Sara Evans

[Bob Impact]

Maybe creepy isn't the word I wanted. What I'm saying is I can't imagine my mother's face watching her only song dance to that song at his wedding. That being said it is indeed an incredibly powerful song, and by that I mean it makes me misty.

"Fuck the Pain Away" by Peaches?

[mike717]

"All I Want is You" by U2.
Just make sure to cut it off after about 3 minutes or else you get Bono screaming All I want is You over and over and it turns stalkerish.

[Ritalin]

"Strange Fruit" by Billie Holliday?

[Tenbatsuzen]

"All I Want is You" by U2.

You lose.

Why don't you re-read the lyrics of the song and try again.

[RhinoinMN]

Thank you for everybodys help. My friend and his chic decided to go with "At Last" by Etta James. "Fuckin in the butt" will used for the after party.

[keithy_19]

I have no intention of getting married anytime soon. Though, I was having a conversation with my significant other about wedding songs. She said she always wanted her wedding song to be Stand By Me made famous by The Temptations.

I always wanted Dance With You by Live though that won't happen because of circumstance.

So, what song would you want your "first dance" to be danced to? Or, what was your wedding song?

[Fezticle98]

I have nothing original to add, only this thread: http://www.ronfez.net/forums/showthread.php?t=63446&highlight=wedding+song

Someone ---Telecaster7, I'm looking at you--- beat me to the Dane Cook joke in the other thread.
So my answer is ---i was gonna post a link to the Forward video, but it is nowhere to be found on youtube or break, thank god. So this is a bad post in a bad thread. Nice.

[El Mudo]

Tom Waits - "Picture In A Frame"

[A.J.]

I think you mean "Stand By Me" by Ben E. King.

[Ritalin]

"Love Gun" by Kiss?

[Terry-Two]

I just got married 23 days ago. Our wedding song was "She" by Elvis Costello.

Why didn't you go with "Long Honeymoon" from the Imperial Bedroom album?

[narc]

I was actually thinking about this recently.
If I ever get married, the girl must share my belief that it'd be hilarious to play "Get Low" by L'il Jon and the Eastside Boyz at our reception. As well as some 50 cent. Preferably "Candy Shop"
You have no idea how serious I am.

[Bellyfullasnot]

Inna Gadda da vida, Iron Butterfly.

[Ritalin]

"300 Pounds of Heavenly Joy" by Big Twist and the Mellow Fellows?

[ahhdurr]

We did Better Together by Jack Johnson - great song and lyrics ... really, really, really shitty tune to try to dance your first dance to (it's too fast and has kind of a half beat in each measure)... but we liked the lyrics and the feel of the song so much we said fuckit.

[ravn816]

My wedding song was Luckiest by Ben Folds.
