BS&T - You Made Me So Very Happy

...and years later...

The Anniversary Song

Happy anniversary, happy anniversary, happy anniversary, haaaappy aniversary. (sung to the William Tell Overture)

Fred and Wilma?

Fred and Wilma?

The Anniversary Song was in the jukebox in the bar I used to frequent when I was growing up in an old Polish neighborhood in Detroit. We would have a few (quite a few) and play it for laughs.

A friend claims his wedding march was the Star Wars Imperial Theme. Knowing him, I believe it.

And who could forget "O Fortuna" from Carmina Burana. All of CB is ripe fodder for marriages, really. Even the swan song is useful for shotgun weddings.

The ultimate Wedding March was featured in the movie "Diner." It was a slow organ version of the Baltimore Colt's Marching Band Theme Song:

Let's go, you Baltimore Colts,

And put that ball across the line.

So drive on, you Baltimore Colts,

Go in and strike like lightning bolts.

FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!

Rear up, you Colts, and let's fight;

Crash through and show them your might,

For Baltimore and Maryland,

You will march on to victory!

Worst wedding song for me, was The Carpenters, "We've Only Just Begun" on a cheesy Farfisa organ, and everyone dressed to the hilt in
1970's double knit polyester. Just the right clothes for a double 90
(90+degrees and 90+ humidity) day in Illinois.
Wouldn't Billy Idol's "White Wedding" go well with a biker wedding?

You Don't Own Me

My wife thinks of her 1st husband, and thinks of Dusty Springfield :

You don't own me
I'm not just one of your many toys
You don't own me
Don't say I can't go with other boys

And don't tell me what to do
And don't tell me what to say
And, please, when I go out with you
Don't put me on display

'Cause, you don't own me
Don't try to change me in any way
You don't own me
Don't tie me down
'Cause I'll never stay

I don't tell you what to say
I don't tell you what to do
So, just let me be myself
That's all I ask of you

The ultimate Wedding March was featured in the movie "Diner." It was a slow organ version of the Baltimore Colt's Marching Band Theme Song:

Let's go, you Baltimore Colts,

Alas, Johnny Unitas mourns their departure...now they've got the "Bird of Death" The Baltimore Grackels.

Wonderful pretext for a movie -- they can't get married until she passes the Baltimore Colts trivia contest.

Bruce Dickinson / Iron Maiden: Bring Your Daughter to the Slaughter.

Humour aside, if I was getting married tomorrow and had to select, I'd probably favour something by Loreena McKennitt (a true Godess); The Mummer's Dance; The Mystic's Dream, or Santiago. Alternatively, any piano or organ track recorded by Rick Wakeman would be good.

Dies irae is Latin for Judgement Day. It is a usual part (with exceptions) of a requiem and sounds usually quite frightening (by intention).
Regards
Charles

ira, irae = wrath, anger == when the "judex" will come to judge -- only in this case the judge is on her broom.

Missa in die obitus seu depositionis defuncti

Dies iræ, dies illa,
Solvet sæclum in favilla:
Teste David cum Sibyllâ

How about Love is all around, originally by the Troggs?
Cheesy as h-ll. OK, just shoot me!

You Take My Breath Away (Eva Cassidy / American Tune)


Sometimes it amazes me
How strong the power of love can be
Sometimes you just take my breath away
You watch my love grow like a child
Sometimes gentle and sometimes wild
Sometimes you just take my breath away

And it’s too good to slip by
Too good to lose
Too good to be there just to use
I’m gonna stand up on a mountain top
And tell the news
That you take my breath away

Sometimes it amazes me
How strong the power of love can be
Sometimes you just take my breath away
Your beauty is there in all I see
And when I feel your eyes on me
Oh don’t you know you just take my breath away

And it’s too good to slip by
Too good to lose
Too good to be there just to use
I’m gonna stand up on a mountain top
And tell the news
That you take my breath away

And it’s too good to slip by
Too good to lose
Too good to be there just to use
I’m gonna stand up on a mountain top
And tell the news
That you take my breath away

Oh yes you take my breath away

An aunty of mine (on the side of the family I have nothing to do with) had AC/DC "Highway to hell" play for the walk down the aisle.

Cheers,

Cheesy, I know -
But at my last wedding we had only the sound of the surf of the vast Pacific Ocean.

It was music to our ears.
