Wedding music

We’ve been brainstorming music for Erik’s wedding. Here’s what we came up with:

1. The Thong Song
2. Eleanor Rigby (”Eleanor Rigby, Picks up the rice in a church where the wedding has been, Lives in a dream … All the lonely people, where do they all come from? All the lonely people, where do they all belong?”)
3. A song by the artist Eleanor Rigby. “Eleanor’s career was short yet controversial and mysterious. Her legendary debut single “I Want To Sleep With You” was released in 1985 and came complete with free condom.“
4. Hit Me Baby One More Time, as a tribute to domestic violence.
5. Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet (Bachman-Turner Overdrive), as a tribute to stuttering.
6. a song by Styx as a tribute to people with imaginary skin disorders that prevent them from going out in sunlight (think Jenny Bailey)
7. Mack the Knife.
8. “Sailing” by Christopher Cross
9. “Jump” by Kris Kross
10. something by Christopher Walken? Did he ever sing? (like Shatner)
11. anything by Sinatra. It’s classy.
12. Norah Jones
13. In Your Eyes by Peter Gabriel? that one’s sorta iffy, unlike “Sledgehammer” which is a clear no.
14. Built-In Bastard Radar by Marillion. (As in, “every girl round here got built-in bastard radar.”)

If it was a lesbian wedding, do you think songs like “You Oughta Know” and “You’re So Vain” would be appropriate? Those are really about men though… so maybe something more like “The Lumberjack Song”? Because, I mean, there are only so many times you can listen to that song “I Kissed A Girl” that was briefly popular when we were in high school…

That’s all my humor for now. Peace out.
