HELP!
by Hello All!
It's me...I havnt written one of these in a loooong time...but I need to now..because I NEED YOUR HELP! My wedding is VERY quickly approaching...(January 17th...OH MY GOODNESS! :-D ) and we have pretty much EVERYTHING done and figured out...except for two seemingly easy details. Austin and I can't think of a good song for the bridal party to walk in to and for our parents to walk in to. What we want is a fast/fun rock or punk song...for the bridal party and anything fitting for the parents. so let me know what you all think!
THANKS!!

Hah! I think we picked those songs like 2 days before our wedding. We played Infectious Grooves songs, which are private jokes cuz few people know that band.
Our second choice was the Goldfinger cover of "Just Like Heaven".
I like Goldfinger's cover of Bad Company's "Feel Like Making Love." They obliterated that song, in a good way.
the original is way better though...
I will walk in to Pass the Dutchie by...those little island kids...you may use it too. Or Billy Idol's White Wedding. Maybe even Come to Daddy by Aphex Twin. Perhaps maybe the "snow dance" song from the Edward Scissorhands sndtrck. Dick Dale's Pulp Fiction theme. Awesome surf guitar. I was also thinking of JayZ's 99 Problems, but a...well, you know how the song goes. Oukast's So Fresh and So Clean. Ennio Morricone has done a lot of cool scores for western movies that sound amazing and make awesome atmosphere music. Oh, oh. You said punk? C'monnn, not a punk song. I guess DO like that punk cover of Somewhere Over the Rainbow. Theres tons more. You'll pick a good one, I'm sure.
lol, come to daddy's pretty freaky....
yeah, I used to run out of his room screaming when he put that song on!
I WILL EAT YOUR SOUL
Nooooooooooo! *RUNNING*
Oh my word....Ian, that's the scariest thing I've ever heard you say. :)
Hahaha. Not my fault (::looks around with "not my fault, but really is my fault knowledge"::)
ooohhh yeahhhhhhhhhhh. you first showed me aphex twin when we were but boys!
Ultimately thank Kev after he played that one with the giggle samples in it for me, when playing music CDs on your computer was really futuristic. No one knows that one title tho, not even him. He threw it out a long time ago. Guess I'll hafta play every Twin title sometime to find out.
I remember it. Kev used to play an old Aphex Cd all the time. It was called Ventolin. It's GREAT stuff. I have to find it.
I still when I remember back to the time when you told me how you had that CD of mine playing on that bouncing ball track (I'll refrain from quoting the actual title hahah), and you thought it was an instrumental, but when it got to the end of track he says something of dark wit, and you had it blasting while you were laying down in bed, and well, do you know what I'm talking about? or don't remember? hahha
Pass the Dutchie song..awesome.
hey you didn't give me credit for the "pass the dutchie" idea. i can imagine the faces my family would make as i'd walk into a reception room to that. priceless. the b-school meeting after the honeymoon wouldn't be so great though.
why? you mean it isnt about little children from the netherlands? kidding.
:) cute, very cute!
that was my attempt at being deliberately naive. hey, i have a funny story. i will gmail you.
I could use one to go with my afternoon iced coffee break..lay it on me.
for some reason i think that millencolin would be a good choice. they have alot of cool upbeat songs... how about "man or mouse" or "kemp"? both awesome songs
stevie wonder's got some great upbeat happy songs. funky groovy old man.
Here's a thought.....we had each couple in our bridal party walk in to seperate songs. Like, the DJ introduced them, and then as they were walking in, we played a small portion of a song that was fitting to one or both members of the couple. Like, for instance, Adam's dad was his best man, and EVERYONE that knows him or my husband knows he likes to build things. So he and my maid of honor (because she totally didn't have an opinion on it and was cool about "going with the flow") walked in to the "Home Improvement" theme song. It was mostly all for fun, and it made everyone smile.
My brother walked (or rather, "strutted") in to a song from "Cowboy Bebop".....needless to say the bridesmaid that walked with him was thoroughly embarassed. :)
we picked The Verve's Bittersweet Symphony, and an Ozma song I think.
my deepest and most heartfelt condolences.
i love the Verve... rock on dude
The Verve are one of my favorite bands. every song on Urban Hymns is a classic.
liam collaborated with them quite a bit
here here. which ozma song?
I couldn't remember so I had to ask my wife. It was their cover of the theme to Tetris. (that's the one we walked out to) That band is so great. We saw them in concert not too long ago. at the Bowery, good show, but sadly they didn't play enough of their older stuff, which is so familiar to me. "Lorraine", "Natalie Portman" amazing songs. "Apple Trees" (I think thats the name of the song?)
i only saw them at warped, but i remember they were opening for weezer for a while
thats where i saw them. them then saves the day then weezer. that show at continental airlines was like an assembly. witnesses from all over jersey (and beyond prolly).
witnesses just love weerez.
yeah, I was there. but my wife was a fan of them for a while before we went to that show. And as soon as I heard their stuff I was hooked.
