This Week’s KSK Commenter Draft: Pick Your Wedding Song
I worked as a table runner for a whole lotta weddings in my time. Would you like to know the preferred first dance song of Torrington, CT white trash? It’s “Wonderful Tonight,” by Eric Clapton. I never want to hear that song ever again as long as I live.
I’m now at the age where everyone I know is sick to death of attending weddings. Any single friends I have left better go elope in Vegas, because I’m not spending $1,000 to fly somewhere, sit in a hotel conference room, watch you dance to “At Last,” and do the Electric Slide. It’s just common sense. UNLESS IT’S THE WHELANS’ WEDDING! NO INVITE FOR THE KINGS OF MONTCLAIR, MICHAEL?!
Anyway, this week, it’s the wedding song draft. Pick one song for you and your bride/groom/Japanese manga pillow to have your first dance to. Wait ten picks until picking again. Guess I better pick my actual wedding song.
Can’t go wrong with Otis.

Ours: “California Stars” by Billy Bragg and Wilco (as played semi-faithfully by the Otis Day and Knights-esque band we hired, and who learned the song for our wedding).
Two by Wilco off the board already. Who knew?

July 31st, 2009 at 10:22 am
I wanted “Naive Melody” by the Talking Heads, but weddings are essentially prom on steroids so it ended up being “Cant Take My Eyes Off Of You” by Frankie Vali. Still fun enough, but I love the Heads.
July 31st, 2009 at 10:24 am
If you make multiple draft picks, does that mean you got divorced?
In that case my second pick “Won’t Get Fooled Again” by the Who.

July 31st, 2009 at 10:34 am
@Ryan R…that is actually the song we used for the wedding party introductions at the reception.
As for the wedding song, we went with Grow Old with Me – Mary Chapin Carpenter. It’s a Lennon cover.
July 31st, 2009 at 10:34 am

Actual Wedding Song – It had to be You (Sinatra)
KSK Wedding Song – Around the Way Girl (LL Cool J). Just to see the reaction of our guests.
July 31st, 2009 at 10:49 am
Didn’t have a band at either one of my weddings. Seriously, what’s the appropriate music for the absolute key part of the ceremony: the part where she severs your balls and puts them in her purse.
Fortunately, I got them back at the divorce(s). The ONLY thing I got back. But I’m not bitter.
Fuck marriage.
July 31st, 2009 at 10:49 am

July 31st, 2009 at 10:51 am
@slothrop: you missed “used to love her,” but I like your motif.
I personally think that a wedding is the time for a groom to show the world his sensitive side. Thus I would probably opt for Dr. Dre’s classic “gansta bitch.”
July 31st, 2009 at 10:51 am
Rape Me- Nirvana

July 31st, 2009 at 12:30 pm
Billy Idol – “Rebel Yell”
July 31st, 2009 at 12:40 pm
Oh, Tosh had a nice line last night about that video — nothing says love and tenderness like a song by wife-beater Chris Brown.
July 31st, 2009 at 12:41 pm
Actual entrance music was the Chicago Bulls playoff theme. Oh yeah the reception was BAD. ASS.
Song I could have used: Mint Condition’s “My Dear” just for this verse:
You don’t have to be afraid
I’ll be like the gentle evenin’ rain on your window pane
Lay your head down
Enjoy the candlelight
Come and take a trip with me
If you’ll let yourself be free you’ll fly away
To a place where the touch equals ecstasy
Stay with me tonight
Will you find your way, will you find your way with me
I know…I know.
July 31st, 2009 at 12:47 pm
I want Peter Griffin and his barbershop quartet to sing “You’ve Got AIDS” to my new bride.
July 31st, 2009 at 12:53 pm
Shit, late to the dance. We danced to “Hold me, thrill me, kiss me” by Mel Carter and I’m still happy with that pick.
July 31st, 2009 at 12:54 pm
2 Unlimited – “Get Ready for This” – more appropriate for the part where we run to the limo after the ceremony and I get to low-five all of the groomsmen. My friend actually did this at his wedding. It was the classiest shit i’ve ever seen.
July 31st, 2009 at 12:57 pm

July 31st, 2009 at 1:44 pm
DavidtheUnderpantsGnome, I understand the implications of the song, but couldn’t you pick at least a good one? If you want to go there’s “Drain Me” by Sentenced — look up the lyrics, it’s a goodun. Of course, there’s the super sweet and subtle barbershop number “Wild Irish Rose”, whose last verse goes
“And some day for my sake
she may let me take
the bloom from my wild irish rose”
July 31st, 2009 at 1:51 pm

@Rocco. You can redeem yourself and pick up the Tim McGraw trifecta by selecting “Indian Outlaw.”
July 31st, 2009 at 2:51 pm
Fuck. I have to go to a wedding in a couple weeks and I’m pissed off. I have to spring for airfare, car rental, hotel and a gift for something I don’t even want to attend. I also have a dreadful suspicion that there won’t be an open bar. So I’ll pick their fucking wedding songs:
• Iron Maiden’s “Run To The Hills” (performed by a drunken, stoned me)
• John Tesh’s “Roundball Rock” (performed by the actual John Tesh)
July 31st, 2009 at 2:52 pm

Cure – Friday I’m in love. On my first real date with my wife we were sitting beint already very much in love on a friday when they played it on the radio. So that’s our song.

Hundreds of comments and no Stones? “Let it Loose” could work, with the right woman.

Tom Waits: Better off without a wife
Well, I’ll be sleeping ’till the crack of noon
stay out howling at the moon
going out when I wanna, coming home when I please
don’t have to ask permission
wanna go out fishin’
never have to ask for the keys
etc.

“Summer Lover” – Frostbite Blue They are a band from Oswego, NY. Saw them @ Harborfest one year, and ended up going all over upstate to see them play. Had quite the little following for awhile. They even scheduled shows in Watertown to appease us.

I wanted “Gold Digger” but since she made more $$ than I did at the time we “settled” on “Someone Like You” by Van Morrison.
Van Morrison OWNS this thread!

Had to step in last year and override the now Mrs SavRoccaFella… went with “Harvest Moon” from the Neil Young unplugged session for the first dance, and “Love and Marriage” by Frank Sinatra for the entrance.
Yes, Al Bundy is my hero. What of it?

@ Cow of Pain
“Friday I’m In Love” is a close second.
July 31st, 2009 at 8:53 pm
@ ROB if you want a Springsteen wedding song, try “happy”
July 31st, 2009 at 8:59 pm
Nilsson’s “You’re Breakin’ My Heart”? Maybe not.
+1 to Denny for the Frostbit mention, and Slash for the laff.
/still chuckles @ hearing reception band finish “You’re My Inspiration” and rip into “Living in America”

We went with The Tea Party’s, “In This Time”. A bit long and obscure as hell, but it worked (plus the Tea kicks, er, kicked ass).

my break-up song. I hope it’s not too subtle.

/Fuck this you make my fucking skin crawl!
//yep still un-attached. What are the fucking odds?
August 1st, 2009 at 4:53 pm
Just a bit late…
Actual: “All I Ask of You” – Phantom soundtrack
Wish I had suggested: “Fly Me to the Moon” – Tony Bennett version will do
If I ever have occasion for a breakup song: “Don’t Worry Bout Me” – Billie Holiday. There’s a little number to hang yourself to.
August 1st, 2009 at 5:13 pm
Anything by Blowfly- how ’bout “That’s What Pussy’s Made For”.
August 2nd, 2009 at 2:35 am
What a good year for the roses” by 1st george jones. and then Elvis Costello would be a great breakup song. also a good wedding song would be “into my arms” by Nick Cave.
just thought of that.
yous guys is great.
August 2nd, 2009 at 5:46 pm
“Your Precious Love” by the Impressions – great soul song
Worst choice – relative with the Cure’s “Pictures of You.” It was suggested they read the lyrics, especially the last lines. Ignored, divorced, life a mess.
August 2nd, 2009 at 8:36 pm
I seriously wanted to come in to Nick Lowe’s “I Knew The Bride When She Used To Rock And Roll” but the damn chapel wouldn’t play it. Had to settle for Pachebel. It’s been almost eleven years and I’m still pissed off.
