Help me out, EoFFers! My sister is getting married on Saturday, and I'm in charge of the music. Post recommendations, please.
(I've known about this for months, and I've waited until the last minute to compile a list.)
Second topic: What songs would like you to have played at your wedding? If you're married, what songs were played? Did they fit the moment right?
Also, there will be no Chicken Dance or Macarena. Don't even bother.
Go for the crowd pleasers, like pop/hit songs from the 80s and 90s, and the 70s too. People love music that makes them nostalgic. But that's only if you want them to get down and dance all night. Depends on what wedding it is.
The Trammps - Disco Inferno
The B52s - Loveshack
The Beatles - Twist and Shout
Aqua - Barbie Girl
Because I am totally wearing an awesome dress.
What kind of music does she like?
Wonderful Tonight is really cute. It's my parent's wedding song.
I really like this list of First Dance songs on OBB, though I'm sure you saw them.
Of that list I would say...
* Definitely put the Mario Kart Love Song if your sister is a dorkling.
* Nancy Sinatra's "Sugar Town" (Alternatively: Zooey Deschanel's cover)
* The Cure's "Friday I'm in Love"
* The Cure's "Just Like Heaven" (honestly, I'd also add Love Song to the mix!)
* She & Him's "I Was Made For You" (This is really dancy and cute!)
* Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeroes - Home (this song is fun and romantic, has a bit of a country twang to it. I could see people dancing and bopping to this)
PS: This song would probably be my wedding song, or maybe Sugar Town. I love both songs.
"Today" by Randy Sparks. Find an instrumental version somewhere. Dunno where. John Denver has the best versions, but they're all live.
Not Canon in D.
It's a little long, but if you wanted to just cut it down somehow, Your Hand in Mine by Explosions in the Sky is romantic sounding, I think
Jim Croce - Long Time Ago
Avett Brothers - I And Love and You
Cascada - Every time we Touch
The Crystals - And Then He Kissed Me (this is adorable and sappy and perfect for weddings)
Erasure - Always (especially if either of them is a nerd ;D)
Oh man, I've already got this planned out because I want to DJ my own wedding and I want my wedding to not be a wedding but a dance party I trick people into attending. Also, this might happen in like two years or something, so I need to quickly make it as non-traditional and insane as possible.
The first song is going to be "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" by the Darkness, because it is the height of romance.
Then:
- "Nonpareil of Favor" by Of Montreal
- "So Begins Our Alabee" by Of Montreal
- "Home" by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, and everyone would have to dance to this and jump around, because this song clearly requires mass chaos.
- "I Found a Reason" by Velvet Underground
- "Fireworks" by the Tragically Hip
- "The Girl" by City & Color
- Some System of a Down to throw things off, which my best girl Robyn will assist me in dancing to, requiring "Violent Pornography" in there.
- "I Will Buy You a New Life" by Everclear, or whatever that song is called
- And many more!
I hope you are not in charge of the music at your wedding. You'll just make people cry.
