Best Wedding Songs...or worst..

[Ron M.]

I always thought the one line from "There is Love" by Paul Stookey hit it on the head..."woman draws her life from man, and gives it back again, and there is love...there is love."

Better than some of the songs I've heard at weddings recently..."Every Breath you Take" sounds like a stalker song to me.

Other good songs.."We Only Just Begun", "Ill Never Find Another You"...any others?

I used to be hooked on the "Hokey Pokey" but I turned myself around.......

 

[Dennis The B]

"At Last" - Etta James.

No one does it like she did.

 

[Rustyt1953]

"At Last" - Etta James.

No one does it like she did.

It was our wedding song 35 years ago:

No one does it like she did.

[THE PILGRIM]

Ok. I am having trouble taking this thread serious!
And I haven't been drinking, yet.
Headed up for some Chinese.
When I get back, then I'll have a drink.
But in the meantime, here's a top Male Frustration Song.
This is of course a Jimmy Reed song, has been recorded by a number of folks.
And it can be a Lady Frustration song, Etta James can tote the note!

[Chuck24]

Been to so many weddings where they play Every Breath You Take by the Police. Guess they don't realize that it's about a stalker.

The End, by Earl Grant. we had Paul Stokey's "Wedding Song" and this one in our wedding. played "The End" as our recessional and there wasn't a dry eye in the place.

 

[Straightshooter2]

My wife wanted her brother to sing "One Hand, One Heart" from "Westside Story" at our wedding. And of course she got what she wanted.

 

[MaricopaKid]

If my next marriage is anything like the last; Janis Joplin - Ball and Chain.

 

[NMPinNYC]

Oddly enough, someone shared that they heard this Carly Simon song as a wedding song. Rough lyrics to be sure, in "That's The Way I've Always Heard It Should Be."

Although the chorus contains:

But you say it's time we moved in together
And raised a family of our own, you and me -
Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be:
You want to marry me, we'll marry.

HOWEVER, the rest of the song is quite dark and speaks of painful wedded relationships.

 

[BigBill]

Here's a song my favorite song fishing at 4:30/5:00am as darkness turns to twilight as the orange/yellow ball peeks up. The great Satchmo.

[BigBill]

Or this one? The late Robin Willams.

[LVSteve]

Good: "Dance with me" by Orleans.

Bad: "White Wedding", Billy Idol.

 

[Rule3]

I used to be hooked on the "Hokey Pokey" but I turned myself around.......

Yep either that or, The Chicken Dance

I thought TAPS would be appropriate.

The Wedding Song (There is Love) is THE song to me.
