Wedding Songs

[Greg Thimmes]

Well I am taking the plunge and getting married, my girl and I are having one hell of a time trying to figure out what we want to dance to. She wants country music or something with faith hill.....not really my style. Any ideas of good rock/pop/unk songs with good vocals and lyrics? AP.net always comes through.

[DaveZeroZero]

If Tragedy's Appealing, Then Disaster's An Addiction by Moneen

After all, marriage is the ultimate disaster for a man's sex life.

A lot of people like to have Free Bird play, though.

[AmarnaReign]

good ole' Collective Soul.

Great band with so many good songs. Def. something to get down too.

[Getup and Dance]

I want to play the Mortal Kombat song during my wedding.

[Blake Solomon]

The Damnwells - "I've Got You"

[PoisonInMyVeins]

good ole' Collective Soul.

collective soul is the worst.

[AmarnaReign]

ok my bloody valentine

[DaveZeroZero]

ok my bloody valentine
You missed a comma after "ok".

Then again, you like McCain and think that Palin has an ounce of credibility, so I could only expect you to be entirely ignorant.

[Shatter590]

im hoping to get married to this acoustic version of the Goo Goo Dolls "Girl Right Next To Me". I think its a great song for the purpose.

[AmarnaReign]

You missed a comma after "ok".

Atleast i dont stutter and speak non-sense like Obama.

Oh, one more thing. You like Obama, so I expect you to be a vulnerable piece of shit.

[DaveZeroZero]

At least Obama can type.

[PoisonInMyVeins]

ok my bloody valentine

yeah man, my bloody valentine's so awful. they didn't influence an entire genre of music or anything. at least they did something original.

[DaveZeroZero]

Oh, one more thing. You like Obama, so I expect you to be a vulnerable piece of shit.
Vulnerable, eh?

Please, do probe.

Oh, and, seeing as you like Palin, I expect you to be an ignorant and stubborn coward.

[annaboun]

My bf and I already decided we're dancing to Sweet Avenue- Jets to Brazil when we get married.

[micahistheballs]

not punk at all, but the Geese of Beverly Road by the National would be ideal.

[AmarnaReign]

At least Obama can type.
Ok, do two things. You listening? Im sure you are because you are so easily persuaded by a man who says he can change a lot, but in fact he really hasn't did shit at all in his career and can't even say yes or no to over 130 bills. you ready? ok here it is:

1. You should wait until your atleast of age to start speaking about politics, your opinion really doesn't count until then

2. Live in the U.S.A.


That is all

you should wait until you're at least at the intellectual level of an 18 year old before you start speaking about politics. YOUR opinion really does not count until then.

*You're

I was waiting for you to tell me that I should be American before formulating these opinions. Well, I was born with an American passport in my mouth, so that invalidates that argument.

Also, just because I'll be three months too young to cast my vote doesn't mean that my views are worthless or unfounded. In fact, your complacency at thinking that, because you ARE of age, your views are somehow superior, only reinforce my thinking that you're an idiot.

WOW, thats all you got? :hammer:

[PoisonInMyVeins]

WOW, thats all you got? :hammer:

yes, it is. i'm really not in the mood to fight with some temperamental ap poster about politics, because i feel that you're entitled to your own opinions, as narrow minded as they may be. in my opinion, fighting over politics online is childish. you can say what you want, but you won't get anywhere.

The Cure - Halo

[Yakacack]

Not sure why, but I'd love to have Hoobustank - Can I Buy You A Drink? played for the sheer fact that it was them with horns and to me is a danceable tune that my lady and I dig.

Now that's just tempting fate.

[HelpMeSleep]

I missed the game of bash the ignorant and stupid McCain/Palin fan. boo. :-(

congrats on getting engaged! I have no good ideas for you, but if I think of anything I'll let you know. =]

[black hole sun]

First Day of My Life by Bright Eyes...
The lyrics would definitely work for a wedding... and it kinda has a country sound to it, your wife (to be) might dig it.

Other than that... maybe the acoustic version of Looking Back On Today by The Ataris?

Congrats, btw.

[Yakacack]

*Hoobastank

They were HoobUstank when this song was made and to my knowledge have not played it since the name change. The name change came with the loss of the horns section which this song has, thanks for the attempt at a correction though.

The CD (They Sure Don't Make Basketball Shorts Like They Used To) came out in 1998 when you were 7 and was far and away their best work if you ask me.

hello, condescending tone.

[HelpMeSleep]

Make sure you know what you're correcting before you do so and I have no problems.
well, it's not like that was common knowledge or anything that anyone should be expected to know.

You're an idiot. You support a woman who is an extreme fundamentalist that believes that nonsense fairytales like creationism should be taught in schools and that women shouldn't have the right to get an abortion, among other foolish views.

It had a horns section and, therefore, by definition, is not a good album.

[SoggY ThE OnE]

If I were in a sarcastic mood (which I am) I would tell you to play White Wedding by Billy Idol. I don't think your wife would appreciate it though...

[Yakacack]

well, it's not like that was common knowledge or anything that anyone should be expected to know.

Deleted my previous comment so as not to get into it but if you want to respond then I'll ask this: to say that it isn't common knowledge as and therefore something you don't know for a fact should you be correcting anyone?

Sorry for to OP for straying a bit.


As for the songs, I could probably easily list another 100 plus songs depending on what you're looking for. Not sure why, but I have a list of love songs I've collected in my years. Another song that would largely be unknown is a song called "This World Is Beautiful" by a guy named Avir Mitra. He has a group called Bamboo Shoots and the song has been recording both solo and with the group. Its a very mellow song and has some Indian influences throughout.

Another playful pop-rock song I really like is a song called "Beautiful" by a band Aztek Trip. They're from PA I believe and the song is a few years old but it is on their Myspace still: http://www.myspace.com/aztektrip

[xEmlehx]

In My Life by The Beatles. great song. my parents danced to it at their wedding. and they cut the cake to When I'm 64 by them as well.

[absolutecrunk]

^This guy knows what's up.

Edit: goddammit not you emleh.

Black Dress by Tonight is Goodbye

[HelpMeSleep]

that song never fails to make me think of The Wedding Singer. I love that movie. :-)

that last sentence did not read well at all, but I think I got the gist of it.
if nobody knows that Hoobustank is separate from Hoobastank, they wouldn't know that you didn't just misspell it. I'm sure to most people, it would have just looked like a spelling error, since the existence of Hoobastank is common knowledge. your logic doesn't really make sense. how can someone know something they don't know?

[absolutecrunk]

Most people don't know the difference between 'your' and you're' either but that doesn't make it excusable. Same with 'lose' and 'loose'.

[DaveZeroZero]

Agreed.

yes. and there/they're/their and to/too/two. it's really annoying. every time I see someone write something like that it's total nails on a chalkboard.

I don't get how so many people can constantly mess up on something that should have been learned in elementary school, or middle school at least.

The last part of that sentence was the combination of two sentences. I unfortunately forgot to clean up the extraneous words before submitting and then got busy with work. It definitely doesn't read well.

If you do not know the complete story or history of something then you are not in a position to point out any potential errors are you? In which case, there's no need for a post pointing out what you feel is an error as someone with only topical knowledge on the subject.

[Neo Cassady]

Dustin Kensrue - "Pistol"

[CellarGhosts]

Love You 'Til The End - The Pogues

This is actually one of my least favorite Pogues songs and the fact that so many n00bz out there seem to think it's the best (or only) song by the band pisses me off pretty bad, but it works. And it is an alright song overall.

[MADSTA]

I definitely agree with First Day of My Life. Such a sweet song.

[AmarnaReign]

Women shouldnt have sex if they dont want a chance of having babies dumbass!
Its not that hard to get birth control.

[ThePartialGlow]

Songs that might not make sense lyric/content wise but sounded good at my wedding:

Wilco - Jesus, etc.
Explosions in the Sky - So Long, Lonesome
Jimmy Eat World - 23
Iron and Wine's take on Such Great Heights
Israel Kama... - Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World (walked back up the aisle after the ceremony to that one...people cried.)

[ThePartialGlow]

Oh, and Copeland's Brightest

remember this song from the movie...lol

"You don't know how much I need you
While you're near me I don't feel blue
And when we kiss I know you need me too
I can't believe I've found a love that's so pure and true

But it all was bullshit (fuck yea (in the back ground))
It was a goddamn joke
And when I think of you Linda
I hope you fuckin' choke

I hope you're glad with what you've done to me
I lay in bed all day long feeling melancholy
You left me here all alone, tears running constantly

Oh somebody kill me please
Somebody kill me please
I'm on my knees, pretty pretty please
Kill me
I want to die
Put a bullet in my head..."

[HelpMeSleep]

Evidently it is, as you were born.

[HelpMeSleep]

birth control doesn't work 100% of the time. and there's a little thing called rape. plus, that's just ridiculous. any sentence beginning with "women shouldn't have sex" is retarded.

regardless, you don't have a vagina, so you shouldn't be allowed to have a say if you're going to take that view.

[AmarnaReign]

Evidently it is, as you were born.
GAY

[DaveZeroZero]

You got owned. Now take it like the little bitch that you are.

my wedding song was "we belong together" by ritchie valens.
we cut the cake to "ring of fire" by johnny cash

[samfoster]

Hey Folks,

"When I Take Your Hand" and "You're All My Reasons" are best alternatives for wedding songs (http://www.shaunbarrowes.blogspot.com) from shaun barrowes.

[cereal4life]

A Joshua Radin track would be nice. Not rock/punk/pop-punk but he's got plenty of appropriate tracks.

[kesto4]

You missed a comma after "ok".

Then again, you like McCain and think that Palin has an ounce of credibility, so I could only expect you to be entirely ignorant.
However, you did a much worse mis-use of commas in your "sentence". A quite commonly known rule of commas is to never put commas around a phrase unless you can take them out and the sentence will still make sense. There should be no comma after again.
Thank you. You may now proceed to take your head out of your ass.


Anyways, Your Guardian Angel by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus would be a good song to play at a wedding. Here's some other songs:

All Time Low - Remembering Sunday
Sum 41 - With Me
National Product - Love Me
Story of the Year - Until The Day I Die
Boys Like Girls - Hero/Heroine, Thunder
The Starting Line - Best of Me, Island
Box Car Racer - There Is
Yellowcard - October Nights, Dear Bobbie, Only One
The All-American Rejects - Dance Inside
Angels & Airwaves - True Love
Ryan Cabrera - True (Although they aren't on this site)
Secondhand Serenade - there's plenty to pick from here

and if your feeling lucky, finish it off with blink-182 - Happy Holiday's, You Bastard. That'll piss of the in-laws...

The sentence still makes sense without "then again" and, therefore, I don't know what the hell you're talking about.

I have merely played with syntax in order to surround my main clause with two subordinate clauses.

I have merely played with syntax in order to surround my main clause with two subordinate clauses.
There is no comma before "then again". I am talking about the comma between the words "you and credibility". If you take those out it says, "Then again so I could only expect you to be entirely ignorant." Combining a dependent clause and a fragment rarely works and in this case it doesn't. It would work if you take the words "so I" out, but unfortunately you didn't.

Next time you should think before you decide to be a smart ass and turn a grammatical mistake into a political debate, especially when you don't know anything first-hand about it.

That was kind of interesting how you came in here saying that political opinions aren't important until you're 18 years old when clearly you're way more immature than anyone in this thread.
