OT: 70th Obsequious Banter Thread: Hart asked the number to change to 79; we said no.

Not mine, but two of my best friends got married, hired Morris Day and the Time, and said play whatever you want. Best wedding ever.

Now THAT'S what I call music! Oh wee oh wee oh!

 

[DancingPanther]

Elton John: I Need You to Turn To
Bruce Springsteen: She's the One
The Beatles: In My Life (cliche)
Cigarettes After Sex: Nothing's Gonna Hurt You Baby
George Harrison: What is Life
Led Zep: Thank You (great one, didn't think about that at first)
The Beatles: Til There Was You


Thank You would be a great one. If the sun refused to shine, I'd still be loving you. And there's some theatrics to the music too, would be a great one to choreo I feel like

 

[Starat327]

I don't know what those words mean, but it sounds terrible.

How do you not know No Use For A Name? Sheesh.

Love it. The wild card

Cigarettes After Sex: Nothing's Gonna Hurt You Baby

I like them. Half of you up there in the area could probably use "Jersey Girl" (poor bastards), but when it comes to Bruce it's the acoustic version of "Thunder Road." You guys really need my help badly, don't you. Maybe I could get into wedding planning. Or singing.

I have no use for it, or them, whichever applies.

I want to do a band so very badly. I have a pretty good connection with the guys in Secret Service, and they do a great job, so I may reach out. But doing a band is Infinitely more expensive than a DJ, and as you alluded to earlier, weddings definitely ain't cheap.

Plus, then you have to do stuff for their breaks, etc. Ugh.

 

[DancingPanther]

I'm gonna hang around for a little longer, but I'm chilling in bed at this point. Night shift life.

Just want you all to know I had a pretty shitty night/couple of weeks and I appreciate your collective wholesomeness

That includes cap and his zingers lol

My fiancee is currently trying to talk me out of booking Otis Day and the Knights. It's the only way I feel like I can top it.

We have a lot of musically-inclined friends that want to play, so we're doing a sort of concert the next night. It's a logistical nightmare.

YES. A FELLOW CIGS AFTER SEX FAN

My oldest brother had "the love song" from this movie as his wedding song. Was pretty damn phenomenal.

"Kristen, come right back
I've been waiting for you
To slip back in bed
When you light the candle"

Has a lovely French New Wave vibe about it.

 

[DancingPanther]

Another one about a newborn, but Cecilia and the Satellite by Andrew McMahon and the Wilderness. Also the acoustic version of Halo, by Starset

You mean the one on the plane? It's nearly as sure to bring tears to my eyes as "Rocky II" but not quite.

Cool, send them my way, they can play mine instead. Whoever's cheapest.

My favorite from them is Sunsetz. And yes, I thought it was a chick for a while

Yup, the one on the plane. My brother was actually trying to learn it and just play it for her, but couldn't commit to it.

I've played a wedding before.

Not to undermine your crazy, but it's also pretty crazy for the band too. If that makes you feel any better. Or worse. Idk

Unless like Jojo you are surrounded by hipster musicians with bourbon attics, a DJ is an easy, smart choice. Especially when you consider the needs of the guests who aren't plastered out of their skulls, and the waitresses. I worked approximately 14 trillion weddings, and I can tell you that the wait staff appreciates not listening to some divorcee who thinks she's Cher.

 

[BigToe]

Are you guys really discussing wedding songs?

What did you dance to? One Toe Over the Line?

You can play Little Feat music at yours, Toe, for the irony.

Bruce Springsteen songs to avoid:

Downbound Train
I'm On Fire
Thunder Road

On the "Thank You" theme:

Ok yes, all of this.

I meant people that play/sing professionall or did formerly. Part of the reason we had to move it is because I can't expect my 102 year old Aunt Josie to sit through some punk bands playing a set 3 hours into an open bar.
