Kappar

What song would you choose to play for "the First Dance" at your wedding.

You know the type

Goo Goo Dolls - Iris
Van Morrison - Have I Told You Lately
etc.

Hmmm, never thought about that, i do know that i want a live band playing "another one bites the dust" at my funeral though

And i thought i was the only one with that fantasy:D

Mind you it's probably fitting for a wedding too!

The Muppet

Sue pollard had a hit in the 80s with a song called Starting together which was also the theme to a BBC documentary about getting hitched. Don't know if you could dance to it but it has the right sentiment for the big day. Curtis stigers all that matters to me is another possibility althought mostly they used to play a waltz for the bride and grooms first dance.

I know 1 guy who for the last 10+ years has said he will have the imperial march as his first song at his wedding - Hes been so obsesed with the idia i would say he will do it.

Personley i dont have no wedding plans. First thing that came into my head was "flower of carnage" and "bang bang" - both songs from Kill Bill volume1

Absolute Beginners by Bowie

Nuttzz

a friend of mine played "Suspicious Minds" for his.....

Sarky

Highway To Hell is appropriate in EVERY situation.

The Muppet

Hows about " who put the bump " ?

wedding song....? crazy little thing called love by queen.

BEAT

I have actually thought about this, and if I ever get married the first song is going to be the theme from "The Godfather".

blondie83

Drops of Jupiter by Train. I really love that song, the words are excellent, and the tune is really wedding dancy type music

steviem

I'm gonna have Amazed by Lonestar, it just sets the mood


"Everytime our eyes meet
This feeling inside me
Is almost more than I can take
Baby when you touch me
I can feel how much you love me
And it just blows me away
I've never been this close to anyone or anything
I can hear your thoughts
I can see your dreams.

Chorus:
I don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you, it just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life with you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you

The smell of your skin
The taste of your kiss
The way you whisper in the dark
Your hair all around me, baby you surround me
You touch everyplace in my heart
Oh, it feels the first time everytime
I wanna spend the whole night in your eyes

Repeat Chorus"

Great song that.... Lot of memories surround that one for me.

Sleipnir

The 'first dance' song offers an unparalleled opportunity to make a complete tit of yourself.

I was at one last year and they had "Lady in Red" which was just the ultimate in cheeeeeeeeeze
I still cringe when I think about it.

The theme tune to Benny Hill I think.

dod

Great Balls of Fire- Jerry Lee Lewis.

Tyrrial

I'd go for belle and sebastian's song "get me away from here i'm dying" it'll probably suit the way i'm feeling.. i hate weddings

rymus

It'd have to be Drowning Pool - Bodies

BuffyBot

The theme tune to Benny Hill I think.

ROFL

i_am_dogboy

probably won't ever get married, but if i did it would have to be rise by josh rouse, a bit too uplifting for the last day of your free life but a damn good song

viking

We had "How do I live" by LeAnn Rimes for our first dance. It was her choice and it was quite perfect for the moment.

We had considered "Happy to Be Stuck with You" by Huey Lewis and The News...

viking

Saviour_Angel

At my cousin's wedding last year the first song played for dancing was

Goo Goo Dolls - Iris

BuffyBot

Perhaps break from tradition on not have a "first dance"

Most of the songs played are either vomit inducing or just dull. Get straight to the party

KlodaX

not planning weddings ... but as a romantic song - be quiet and drive by deftones

reigninblood

Slayer - Reigning Blood

And at my funeral Slayer -Angel of Death

Niiiiice

Okie

A not-too-distant cousin of mine, had Metallica's "Aint My Bitch" played at his wedding I think they're still married. As for myself, havent really thought about it, maybe The Velvet Underground's "I'm Sticking With You" or The Animal's "We Gotta Get Out Of This Place"

As for the soundtrack to a funeral. There was a thread relating to that a while back. (Well...kind of relating to it!)
/holds hands in the air. Guilty of dragging up old posts --->How do you wanna go?

Funny, I suggested that the other night to 'er indoors.
(no I'm not getting married any time soon)

Trisha Yearwood version though, it being better and all.

(and given that it's from Con Air, it'd remind me of explosions)

Y'know, it was the Trisha Yearwood version that we had played for our first dance. Now that you mention it and all like...

rainbow kirby

maybe... metallica-nothing else matters.

Zulu

Ha - I was only talking about this the other day.

The Final Countdown - Europe, and I'm not messing.
If I ever get married, that will be my only stipulation. That song ROCKS!

nlgbbbblth

we had Depeche Mode "Somebody" as our first song at our wedding

a friend of mine had Super Furry Animals "Fire In My Heart" at his

Skud

Fat bottomed girls - queen
or bicycle race

oeNeo

Eifel 65 - Blue

Hopefully this will get played at my grad. That or Cotten Eyed Joe \o/

full forward

At my wedding we had this from phantom of the opera sang in the church. There wasnt a dry eye in the house...

No more talk of darkness,
forget these wide-eyed fears;
I'm here, nothing can harm you,
my words will warm and calm you.
Let me be your freedom,
let daylight dry your tears;
I'm here, with you, beside you,
to guard you and to guide you.

Say you'll love me ev'ry waking moment;
turn my head with talk of summertime.
Say you need me with you now and always;
promise me that all you say is true,
that's all I ask of you.

Let me be your shelter,
let me be your light;
you're safe, no one will find you,
your fears are far behind you.

All I want is freedom,
a world with no more night;
and you, always beside me,
to hold me and to hide me.

Then say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime;
let me lead you from your solitude.
Say you want me with you, here beside you,
anywhere you go, let me go too,
that's all I ask of you.

Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime.

Say the word and I will follow you.
Share each day with me, each night, each morning.

Say you love me ...
You know I do.

Together:
Love me, that's all I ask of you ...
Love me, that's all I ask of you.

Its the final countdown, di-ni-nee-ne den-nen-ne-ne-nea....

To Make You Feel My Love by Garth Brooks

TheSonOfBattles

Don't know about my wedding, but for my funeral I defo want "The Parting Glass" from the Waking Ned soundtrack. Can't remember who sings it, and can't be arsed checking.

I'd actually consider playing "Nothing Else Matters" at my wedding since someone mentioned it above. Cool song.

DriftingRain

Ahhhh for a wedding song! This one is nice:

FOREVER AND FOR ALWAYS
Written by Twain/Lange
In your arms I can still feel the way you
want me when you hold me
I can still hear the words you whispered
when you told me
I can stay right here forever in your arms
And there ain't no way --
I'm lettin' you go now
And there ain't no way --
and there ain't not how
I'll never see that day....

Chorus:
'Cause I'm keeping you
forever and for always
We will be together all of our day
Wanna wake up every
morning to your sweet face -- always

Mmmm, baby In your heart--I can still hear
a beat for every time you kiss me
And when we're apart,
I know how much you miss me
I can feel your love for me in your heart

And there ain't no way --
I'm lettin' you go now
And there ain't no way --
and there ain't no how
I'll never see that day....

Repeat Chorus

(I wanna wake up every morning)

In your eyes -- (I can still see
the look of the one) I can still see
the look of the one who really loves me
(I can still feel the way that you want)
The one who wouldn't put anything
else in the world above me
(I can still see love for me) I can
still see love for me in your eyes
(I still see the love)

And there ain't no way --
I'm lettin' you go now
And there ain't no way --
and there ain't no how
I'll never see that day....

Repeat Chorus (2x)

I'm keeping you forever and for always
I'm in your arms

For my funeral.......Free Bird!

Me brother and sister-in-law had From This Moment by Shania Twain. 'Twasn't a song I knew before, but it was lovely.

That one from Phantom of the Opera, above, reads well. What's it called, anyone?

As for Amazed, that was one of the most cringeworthy songs to make it into the charts in the past few years!

From This Moment by Shania Twain

Indeed she does. Wonder what's going on there, and if her husband, AC/DC producer Mutt Lange, gets upset that no-one uses You Shook Me All Night Long!:D

DriftingRain

gets upset that no-one uses You Shook Me All Night Long!

HAHAHAHAHA...That one would be great! Shows some humor and fun!

Oriel

Possibly, "I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)"

...But that's only for when I've turned my heels and am halfway down the aisle out of the church.

DriftingRain

Hehehehe saw that cow and thought you were dapper sayin that for a moment!

I...I don't know the significance of that...

Indeed.

"She was a fast machine, she kept her motor clean"

and

"She told me to come, but I was already there"

Sure, The Darkness are only trotting in their wake...;)

Zulu

Heard a great one on the way into work.

Convoy (sounds like Jonny Cash but don't know who sang - anybody?)

...I'm still sticking to Final Countdown though.

hedgetrimmer

"Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails

heh ...just kidding....

I really like the phantom one - I think it's called "All I ask of you"


I think for me it would have to Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight"

All I Ask Of You.

Good song, despite it having been written by Andrew Lloyd Webber (having said that, Diane Warren wrote How do I live and she's the witch responsible for that Titanic song and quite a bit of drivel besides (cough, Chicago 21))

London Cast album has a far better version compared to the single version (you get to miss out on Cliff if you skip the single version:))
