I'm not sure where these would fit but you need some fucking love songs.

Nina Simone's Wild Is The Wind, Cat Power's Good Woman, Cat Power's Maybe Not, etc.

Why not David Bowie's cover of Wild Is The Wind?

A Thousand Threads · 04.10.2007, 09:44 AM

A)
Robert Johnson - They´re Red Hot
Comus - Diana
Sonic Youth - Rain on Tin
Sandy Bull - Little Maggie
Leadbelly - Noted Rider

B)
The Sonics - He´s a Hustler
The Sonics - Dirty Old Man
Neutral Milk Hotel - Holland, 1945
13th Floor Elevator - You´re Gonna Miss Me
CAN - Green

C)
I´d play the whole "I care because you do - Aphex Twin" and then some Amon Tobin. Be sure to play "I´m gonna Shoot the President - Big Stick" at least one time.

Are you kidding? Bowie's blows compared to Nina's.

Iain · 04.10.2007, 10:09 AM

Speaking of Nina Simone, I'd go for My Baby Just Cares For Me. It seems to have a magical property that makes people dance.

And Nutbush City Limits by Ike and Tina. Classic.

jon boy · 04.10.2007, 10:20 AM

technotronic and any number of 80's hits will suffice.

Iain · 04.10.2007, 10:26 AM

19 by Paul Hardcastle. Enjoyable electro with a message. (that everyone ignores)

Toilet & Bowels · 04.10.2007, 12:57 PM

james brown - sex machine, for the first dance. pookie has to do the splits like james brown too, and then the best man has too escort him from the dancefloor after bringing pookie his cape.

Rob Instigator · 04.10.2007, 01:04 PM

congratulations!

!@#$%! · 04.10.2007, 01:10 PM

c) unsane - disdain

save that for when everybody is plastered & the decent people have gone home

--

I have an odd personal relationship with this song. Sort of. Anyway, I often think of it when I am in the shower because my shower says 'Aquatronic' on it for some reason. I imagine the song with the word Aquatronic replacing technotronic.

!@#$%! · 04.10.2007, 03:16 PM

for eating i would play a bunch of old jazz standards. great music + great lyrics. mix them up with something else. like. hm...

i have this record & i like it.

it's the oldest trumpetist in business i think, at least since dizzie gillespie died.

great thing to have an old man singing @ a wedding, w/ the till death do us part bit.

chet baker be great too. his version of my funny valentine is a classic.

ella fitzgerald

..

hm...

MellySingsDoom · 04.10.2007, 04:31 PM

Nice choices so far, all. Pookie - does your wife-to-be share the same musical taste as you, out of interest?

Pookie · 04.10.2007, 04:48 PM

Our music tastes cross over, but there's much I like that she hates, in particular my 'difficult' music.

But we both like a lot of soul, ska, jazz, funk, rock n roll, r&b, punk etc.

MellySingsDoom · 04.10.2007, 04:51 PM

I was wondering about that, Pookie. Soul, ska and funk would be especially nice for any wedding do. Who in the world wouldn't dig "The Return Of Django" followed by some Jaaaames Brown?

Pookie · 04.10.2007, 04:58 PM

We've got quite a lot on our list. We're writing songs down as we hear/think of them. I just thought a few more suggestions might be good, and there are certainly a few here that we'll be listening to as a family. The litmus test if the two of us and our daughter can't resist a family dance if we hear a song.

Definites so far:

Hank Ballard - Broadway
Dave 'Baby' Cortez - The Happy Organ
Sister Sledge - Thinking of You
Donna Summer - I Feel Love
Minnie Riperton - Les Fleur
Joe Tex - Show Me
Weezer - Buddy Holly

and some Curtis Mayfield, James Brown, Pogues but we haven't decided which tracks yet.

So much ska to choose from as well.

MellySingsDoom · 04.10.2007, 05:08 PM

Nice, very nice choices so far.

sonicl · 04.11.2007, 03:18 AM

Weddings are all about the lurve, so:

Ramones - Baby I Love You
Colourbox - Baby I Love You So

And they're about the dancin', so:

Girls Aloud - Love Machine (followed by: The Fall - Mr Pharmacist)
Sugababes - Push The Button

And they're also about hyperactive children, so:

Colourbox - The Colourbox World Cup Theme

_slavo_ · 04.11.2007, 05:17 AM

A) Music to be played while we're eating.

STEREOLAB
PSAPP
LOKA
JAGA JAZZIST

B) Music to dance to:

LCD SOUNDSYSTEM
JAMIE LIDELL
SUNN 0))) (a shitty attempt at a joke)

nicfit · 04.11.2007, 05:20 AM

good call on psapp
