Wedding song?
 

Ok, so I'm the groom and I have the music remote control... well, ok, so I get to choose a few songs. Of course, we need a Meat Loaf number - but which one? One that'll get people dancing, one that's not too long (which rules most Steinman songs out), one that I love (which would be most). Which one?!?!

Even if my DJ doesn't have great taste in music, I think I've got all Meat Loaf songs on one CD or another, so pretty much anything goes!

Remember, this has to be a happy, crowd-pleasing song that doesn't last excessively long. I'd love to have Paradise but you have to consider the grannies who might not appreciate such a song.

Many thanks

Surfs up

when r u and lyndsey getting hitched carl?

If you want to dance, let's play Dance In My Pants (remix) by Jim Steinman. If you don't have this one, Dead Ringer is okay. Paradise is a bad choice, cause it's long and the speech part is standing.

If you want a ballad, I have to agree, Surf's Up is the best choice...

How about "Because of You" from the CHSIB album.

Jumpin' The Gun
Modern Girl
Dead Ringer For Love
You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth (Hot Summer Night)

They are lively and not too long, hope that helps a bit and will guarantee people up and dancing :)).

what?????????????????????

anything for love

When I got married I insisted on Anything For Love as our 1st dance.

Later in the evening we played Dead Ringer & this got everyone up dancing :D

ONE SONG I AM BANNING FROM WEDDING IF EVER GET MARRIED TO MANDY IS


I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU BY WHITNEY HOUSTON. I'D RATHER HAVE A NOT GET MARRIED IF THE DJ WANTS TO PLAY THAT SONG!!

Me and my wife had Because of You for our wedding song, then we had Paradise, which was requested, I asked for Mercury Blues, but I had to bring my own CD for the DJ, as he didn't have it, so passed it to him, before reception, alot got up for this Rock'n'Roll song. :D

hmm if you want a dancy one then dead ringer has worked for me at alot of gigs..almost evryine seems to get up for that

if you want a slow passionate one then AFL as it's emotional and everyone knows that one

I would have played BAAB...it's very emotional to me...

Then you could also have Blind Before I Stop as an option too, it's very eightys though ;)! LOL

or maybe the song Blind Before I Stop

Look here Markham... ^^^^

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

I just said that !! LOL

Anything apart from Paradise By The Dashboard Light

Pud :twisted:

And why not?

I personally love that one :cool: !

Well I personally have gotten p!ssed with hearing it, but that aside. It's a completely unoriginal song for weddings just like Summer Nights from Grease. It's a song you have on your playlist with the Birdie Dance, Oops Up Side Your Head and Macarena

A bad Meat Loaf karaoke rendition should be left for the pub and not a wedding IMO

Pud :twisted:

We had "Man and a Woman" - wonderful slow dance number....

You could mabe also have Special Girl as a slow number as well as the lyrics are fantastic in that song :cool: !

The Monster is Loose !!!!!!

Execution Day? :))

Got to be "REED'EM AND WEEP"
or "amnesty is granted ":twisted: :twisted:

My best friend got married last year and wanted a ballad for their first dance together. i suggested "I'd lie for you", she chose it and couldn't believe the words, cos they were so her and him!

Everyone loved it, even the grannies!

Oh dear...... having to choose just the one...... why not go for loads, like I did?!! :mrgreen:

Promised Land

life is a lemon :twisted:

Spooky! That's what we had - AND OUR DJ HAD IT AT HIS TOO!!!!!

I wanted something Meaty or Jimmy, but a lot of them are inappropriate eg 2 out of 3 lol!

However, inside our (wedding) rings we have "as long as stars turn" and "as long as fires burn" engraved. I know that's not a word for word lift of AFL but a) it's all that would fit and b) saves us having to pay royalties when we wear our rings !!

VERY wise

land of the pig?? or what part of my body hurts the most?? or the future aint what it used to be!

I find it ironic that all the douche bag song suggestions came from the single guys...duh...

lol...true
we didnt lose our humour yet :))

as rj says plus not blinded by lurvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeee

Shouldnt that be for AFTER the honeymoon?

maybe, im easy, was thinking more ear bashings

and of course, did i say that? is a contender, (or love you out loud for soppy people)

do it maybe?

Is it just me, or is that song about someone declaring his love for the woman he's having an affair with? Strikes me as somewhat inappropriate for a wedding!!!!

I'd vote for Because of You
