my grandparents 50th wedding anniversary party is coming up on sunday....we spent alot on the place that we are having it at but failed to hire a DJ(the one we had backed out) so, therefore, plan B is to have me, stickyfingers, create cd's that we can just let play in a cd player

I need some advice on music that would be appropriate for this type of event.....stuff like 'when a man loves a woman' but i need like 4 hours worth of stuff so please help me

blingo! thats what you have to do. so back in the year 1953 you have to find the biggest hits. and just remember most of the copy rights on songs from them have run out, so you don't have to worry about illegally downloading the songs

When it comes to being less funny, disliked and barely in the business, you certainly are the person we all turn to for your well informed opinion.

By the way half the stuff yohave posted has been so far from the truth in the past it isn't even funny.

In Your Eyes lyrics
love I get so lost, sometimes
days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
when I want to run away
I drive off in my car
but whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are

all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
the heat I see in your eyes

love, I don't like to see so much pain
so much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired of working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive

and all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light,
the heat I see in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes

But I needed the money, and that's when I realized they and I weren't really that different.

Heartwarming story I know.

"The very thought of you" done by Elvis Costello.

We just got married last month =).

We were looking for a song, and we are both huge EC fans. Problem was we couldn't find a suitable EC song that wasn't a bit cheesy (She) or somewhat overused (Funny Valentine).

Believe it or not, we got the idea from Wonderboy's list of top Romantic songs he prepared for R&F. zing!

Take a piece of advice from me.  Don't suggest to your future wife to use Meatloaf's "Two out of Three Ain't Bad" for your wedding song. <img src="http://www.ronfez.net/messageboard/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smile.gif" border="0" />My wife and I used Van Morrison's "Have I Told You Lately".  Of course, when we got married (1993) Rod F-ing Stewart just released a cover of it so everyone thought we picked it because of him.  We had a four piece brass band at the wedding and they did a great job.

I find it amusing that this thread was two years old, and Mikey chastized someone for starting a fresh thread, especially since "wedding songs" in the search engine doesn't pull this thread up.  Silly me. For the first dance, I prefer CD to band.  Just because it's the recognizable song of what you fell in love too.  My ears are so good that I can recognize when someone goes off pitch or key (and so can my fiance) and that can run the potential of ruining the experience.  Remember: Wedding bands are busy every weekend.  They aren't concerned about your specific needs.  If you give them a specific song that they'll have to learn, chances are, it won't be that good. A good friend of mine got married to U2's "Drowning Man".  Liz and I have been discussing songs.  Not sure yet.

Don't suggest to your future wife to use Meatloaf's "Two out of Three Ain't Bad" for your wedding song. <img border="0" src="http://www.ronfez.net/messageboard/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smile.gif" />My wife and I used Van Morrison's "Have I Told You Lately". Of course, when we got married (1993) Rod F-ing Stewart just released a cover of it so everyone thought we picked it because of him. We had a four piece brass band at the wedding and they did a great job.   Van rocks.  I love "If You Love Me" from the BB King Deuces Wild album.  THe only problem is, the song is six minutes long, which is way too long for a First Dance song.

Van is always a good choice, my cousin just used "Crazy Love".....Kristen wants to use Elvis Costello's "She" which is a great song but I don't feel like it has any significant meaning for us.  I told her she can use that when she dances with her pops.

Going back to "Drowning Man" - the band actually backed out of doing it at the last second, so it was a mad scramble to get the CD and everything set up. Ironically, the band DID do "I Will Follow", which was pretty good.  Like I said - lesser-known song - smarter to go with the CD. I've actually been considering serenading my wife.

The wife and I couldn't really agree on ONE song.  We talked about it quite a bit though."You're My Home" by Billy Joel was probably the front runner.We were SUPPOSED to get married on September 13th 2001.  When the WTC collapsed (with our wedding rings, our pastor, AND our jeweler still inside!) we postponed the whole thing.  Having her family fly in from Eastern Canada was not an option. On Sept 24th, we flew to Vegas and got married in that little place where Ross and Rachel got married.  A Karoake version of "You"re My Home" was playing in the chapel.  So...I guess that song was meant to be ours.

OK, another example of THeKnot's GREAT Musical Tastes... "Love Song" (Tesla) ARE YOU KIDDING ME? While yes, it's a great song, check the damn lyrics. It's basically about a heartbroken woman and a "friend" ready to be her rebound. Christ, they have Stryper's "Honestly" on there. If you are dancing to Stryper as your first dance song, kill yourself because you have absolutely zero musical taste for something as important like that. EDIT: Oh my God. Oh my God. I'm at an absolute furious peak. WHAT THE FUCK IN GOD'S GREEN EARTH IS Sinead O'Connor's "Nothing Compares 2 U" doing on there? Did they just look at song titles? AAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHH

Me and the chick were in a bar in Brooklyn Friday night that has a very obscure jukebox.  On there they had an album which I loved in my high school days which I had completely forgot about.  The name of the band is Big Star, the lead singer is a guy named Alex Chilton, you may know him for being the lead singer of The Box Tops who had the '60's hit "My Baby Wrote me a Letter"  or "The Letter", whatever.  Any way, after he left them he started Big Star and did a song called "Thirteen" about a Junior High Romance, which I used to love.  I played it the other night and instantly got chills, you know the kind you get when you hear a song that strikes a sentimental cord.  We met around that age and I am pushing for that song now, she doesn't know it that well so I am going out to get the album today.  "Thirteen"Won't you let me walk you home from school Won't you let me meet you at the pool Maybe Friday I can Get tickets for the dance And I'll take you Won't you tell your dad, "Get off my back" Tell him what we said 'bout 'Paint It Black' Rock 'n Roll is here to stay Come inside where it's okay And I'll shake you.

If i get married, Id like to dance to "Into your arms" by the lemonheads Holy crap, I didn't even know anyone else knew that song, I was the only Lemonheads fan I knew. Love it but it might be a little fast to have a first dance to.We danced to "When I Fall in Love" by Nat King Cole. I like old school love songs. I really wanted it to be "Let's Stay Together" by Al Green but it's too hard to dance to. I also love "At Last" by Etta James but my cousin used that two years ago so I wasn't going to copy her song.It's really hard picking a good parent/child song. We got them both over in one song. I danced with my dad and he danced with his mom to "Unforgettable" by Nat King Cole & Natalie Cole. I know it's a love song but it was more appropriate as the duet with her dad.

I met my wife on a blind date (yeah, I know) in 1989 in high school. We went to a dance that had a group called The Great Train Robbery playing. The band had one slow song: "Hold me down" I vividly remember trying not to stab her in the belly with my junk while we danced. Twelve years later I tracked down the horn player, got a copy of the Band's album, had it burned to disk and surprised her with it on our wedding night for our first dance as a married couple- just seemed appropriate.

I love them and only wish they'd done more! no, they definitely had more than one album.  The one Thirteen is on is Number One Record.  Their is also another one called "Sister Lovers" which has a great song on it called Blue Moon....this was their last album.  Blue Moon was coincidentally re-made by an even more obscure band called "His Name is Alive"...they were great as well.

311- Love Song

Tenbatsuzen

11-13-2006, 02:17 PM

My bride and I are sorting through various pieces of music we want to use at the reception and the ceremony.  The problem is, the two songs we've picked for the processional and recessional are full orchestral pieces that will sound absolutely amazing with the acoustics of the chapel, but a few people have turned up their noses at the idea of us using canned music at the show. Here are the problems we are dealing with: The processional is a very, very new song that was composed within the last two years, but finding sheet music has been nearly impossible.  I even emailed the composer, with no response.  Also, it's hard to find a bagpiper and a flutist who will perform music they are unfamiliar with.  The processional also has a vocal in Gaelic that really makes the song work.  The recessional, although is a very familiar song, needs a horn section to make it sing, and that can be expensive. Both Liz and I do not want Pachebel's Canon, Here Comes the Bride, or Amazing Grace played at the wedding.  We take great pride in our musical tastes, and we are absolutely adamant that we don't want traditional and/or cliched music at our ceremony. So, it's out there - what's your opinion?

I would check with the church that you are having the ceremony at  and see what it sounds like.  Remember this is your day not the anyone else's in the church.  Do what makes you and your wife to be happy.  Because that is what really matters in the end.

I dunno.  I've never been to a wedding with pre-recorded music, but then again, I've never seen a ceremony music that could be as unique as ours.

   Me too.  A good friend of mine had it during the unity candle lighting at her ceremony, and I leaned over to Liz and whispered, "He was the most... HUMAN..." She wouldn't talk to me for the rest of the ceremony. (bride's father had died suddenly several years ago with no warning, so perhaps, with the unity candle deal, that Amazing grace signified something deeper)

As an FYI, the church isn't someone's parish.It's actually one of my college chapels, and was built in 1925 for college assemblies, but not with any religious overtones.The only rules regarding music involve who's allowed to play the Chapel's organ . . . only one of two pre-approved organists are permitted to play the instrument, as it's one of the most valuable parts of the building.The acoustics are fantastic and, as Matty said, there's a "built-in" sound system.Effectively, the building was designed as a lecture/performance space. While there are a few quirks to the best spots for something to be acoustically pleasing, the space is ideal for this sort of eclectic arrangement. And, at the risk of repeating myself, there will be NO MOTHERFUCKING 'CANON IN D' played at our wedding.  It stinks and I don't like it.

I happen to love "Canon in D" - but that's besides the point.  I've been asked by a close friend to play the wedding march on acoustic guitar at their wedding in May.   They don't want anything too "traditional" either so they figured they'd get me to come up with some funky fingerpicking version.  I'm working on it as we speak.  I guess this way they get the best of both worlds - the wedding march is being played to appease their parents and grandparents, but it'll be modern enough so as not to sound trite.

be one of them.

in D was my recessional.  I never really listened to it before
researching music for our wedding.  I also never heard it at a
wedding before.  Many of my freinds and family, young and old,
said the same thing.  Usually "here comes the bride" is played at
weddings I've been at and others said the same.  That
being said, I think Canon in D is a beautiful piece of music and I dont
think it's cliched at all.   I'm proud that it was my
recessional and Lou and I have VERY ecclectic tatses in music and we
respect each other for it.   Now ask me about
our first dance and our reception music....that was DIFFERENT.  Oh
and before our ceremony we had various disney songs played for the
guests to walk in and when Lou and his guys walked down the
aisle.  For the girls I had "A dream is a wish your heart makes"
another disney song.   For our processional we had a very upbeat
tune "Main Street Electrical parade."

11-13-2006, 04:25 PM

I don't disagree that Canon in D is a nice piece of music, if you haven't heard it thousands of times before.(I have and think it's boring-boring-boring.)  I've heard it at every wedding I've been to lately. . .of course, two of them were Catholic Church ceremonies, and Canon is one of maybe 4 or 5 "permitted" pieces for those. (I checked.) I've heard it over and over and over again and I just really think it's boring. I also don't particularly care for 'Wedding March (Here Comes the Bride)' but that's because it's simply not my style. And it's SO 19th century! Of course, that does NOT in ANY way mean that I think that any person who chose either Canon or HCTB as part of the soundtrack to their own wedding is boring or trite or whatever. . .you chose it for a REASON. You liked it, you didn't think it was overplayed and you felt it really set the tone for your special day.  It's got that air about it and there's a reason it's so popular - plus, the beat is really easy to walk to, especially when you're nervous! This doesn't mean that there won't be a little "Classical" flair to the musical selections, because Classical music is important to me. But, I think I've found a piece for my bridesmaids that sets a good tone without being something I think is trite. And it provides a good contrast with the piece that will be my "grand entrance" . . . so sue me, I've got a flair for the dramatic and a self-centered personality.

yeah you two have to do what you want.  do you think regina's high soictey parents and family liked the idea of her getting married on a dock?  and the reception be at a bar/resturant?  there were heated debates on what 5 star catering hall it would be at.  in the end, everyone found out that our way was the best and that i can yell louder than them.  the moral is, do what you want, wheather its music or anything else.  you will like it that much more and the detractors will come around after the fact. regina walked down to AT LAST and the rest of the bridal party walked down to somewhere over the rainbow/what a wonderful world by that hawaiin dude.

Play what you want.  My buddy played that stupid "battle of  1812" or whatever the fuck that song is at his reception and everyone just looked at each other like "what the FUCK is this?" but it made him very VERY happy, so we all enjoyed it FOR him.In regards to the bagpipes, my buddy who just got married is a NJ state trooper, and just about every single station has a bagpipe team.  If you know anyone in the state police (even local police... go to a st pats parade and see who's plaing bagpipes) they will play for you.  The dude who played at this recent wedding was awesome.  Played much better than most bagpipers I've seen and he was just a cop who took it up as a hobby.  Some of these guys have been playing the bagpipes for 20 years, so you should be able to find someone who can learn a song for you.

My daughter just got married July 1.  She insisted on a DO NOT PLAY LIST and the first song they play was her first song on that list.  They mixed up the lists.  She stoppped in her tracks and shot me a look and I went over to the dj's asking WTF they were doing?  It didnt happen after that.  Then they played the right first song which was "Enter the Sandman"/Metallica.They walked in to "Highway to Hell"  AC/DC. She also had the theme from Peanuts as the resessional which was cool.  Alot of comments on it that no one ever heard that played before.  So do what you want - recorded is fine.  Your opinion is all that matters.

music was recorded.  On the other hand, I have been the
music for many weddings as well.  My good friend who is getting
married on 12/1 has 8 of us performing various songs during the
ceremony.  It feels odd to sing popular music at a wedding, but
this is what they want and is meaningful to THEM. Bottom Line:  It's YOUR day.  Bollocks to what the rest of us think!  :)

Mojo's music snobbishness was a moment of clarity for me, and made me realize that I need to re-think the party music that's going to be played at the wedding. We've already done "first dance" songs, but what kind of songs do you think would motivate people to get on a dance floor?My pick - Jackie Wilson, You Love Lifts Me Higher and Higher.

Who is coming to the wedding?  What age groups, is it your family, friends, what music do you normally listen to and at other weddings or parties what has worked in the past.  Most of all what do you and your wife like to dance to. You are not going to have a lot of time do dance but try and find some time to enjoy your day. If there are older people include some standards, big band, Sinatra, etc.People in their 40's 50's stick to motown, classic 60's 70's 80's mix. Sugar pie Honey bunch,  Runaround sue, Shout, What I like about you, I melt with you, Younger than that I have no clue.  I am not a fan of new music (anything past 1990). Sorry I am an old fart. LOL

Here's what I did at my wedding We had a band, we picked all the songs you have to do, the first dance, mother son, father daughter songs. We did away with the corny songs you hear at every wedding, I asked the the band play mostly 60/70's soul and funk music that pretty much made everyone happy and I come from a family of Micks that allways want to hear Danny Boy and the Rose of Trelee I dont know if that helps but I had fun at my wedding and did a lot of dancing

I think Humpty is gonna be one of the songs that we play pre-recorded, but I've got a band, so I want stuff a band can pull off. How about "Gimme Some Loving" by Spencer Davis?

Hey guys, I need help getting together some good songs for my upcoming wedding reception. I think this might have been a topic of conversation on the show before, but I'm not sure. I didn't know where to get ideas, so I turned to the hippest crowd I know of, Ron and Fez fans. I'm thinking of songs along the lines of older soul or R&B, but I'll take anything at this point.

Thanks!

Edit:
OOPS! I guess I could've done my homework and looked for a thread before posting. Pardon my ignorance.

Hello, Badorties... I hope you're still around and monitoring this website. I located you in a desperate search for the song "First Light of Day" by Paddy A Go-go. We desperately want it for our own wedding entrance! It's proving extremely difficult to find. Can you help in any way? Thanks a million.

Dearest Oracle,

First time, Long time

I'm sitting here in beautiful Astoria, NY (I know...thank you) putting together the music for my wedding and I am running into bit of a creative wall.

Sure we all know the staples of a wedding but what are some not so common but must have's of wedding music?

Any and all suggestions are welcomed. Oh, and I've already got "Love Stinks" by the J. Geils Band on the list.

I'll hang up and listen to your reply.

Your friend,

Led
