We went to a wedding last Friday at a winery and it was a lot of fun. My best friend’s son got married and I remembered when he ran around the house naked as a jaybird, laughing away. Now he’s a married man and a really good son to his mom. I remember being at weddings dancing away looking at the older people wondering what kind of music they were listening to. Now, I’m that older person wondering what the hell kind of music they were playing which was a lot of rap crap. They did play some good music, to be honest and, I even danced to some of that rap crap. Last week was about Wedding songs at Monday Music Moves Me and I thought I’d continue on. That theme and the wedding I attended, made me think of the music I played at my wedding and here are 3 of them…
1. MONY, MONY SUNG BY BILLY IDOL-1981
I love this song sung by Billy Idol which is not the original version but, I think, the best version. I danced to this so many times when in University, on campus and off and, in fact, Billy was at our university back in 1983 with me dancing a few feet from him. I’m surprised he was at our school. In 1997, when I got married, I had this at my dance and my former boss danced up a storm because it was his favourite. That’s a great memory
2. RELAX, DON’T DO IT SUNG BY FRANKIE GOES TO HOLLYWOOD -1983
I love this song and danced and danced so, when it came time for my wedding, I was determined to have this play but do you think I could find an original version at that time? Nooope! They had talking through it or the hockey theme with it. I finally found the version I wanted..the original…who knew it would be so difficult to find.
3. SHARP DRESSED MAN BY ZZ TOP-1983
I love ZZ Top and this is another song that had to be in my wedding. This record which included “Legs” and others was a huge record that placed this great band on top where they even appeared on a dream episode of the TV show, “St. Elsewhere”.
I had many other fun songs but these 3 are what came into my head at first. What songs did you dance to at your wedding or at a fun wedding you attended?
Congrats to your friend's son. Funnily enough, I actually have music on my blog today, too.
ReplyDeleteYes and I enjoyed listening to it.
DeleteThese were all great selections. I was at a wedding last June and I didn't know any of the music. Not one song!
ReplyDeleteI know...we are of that time now.
DeleteAll the best for your friend's son! 🥂🍾 I think Billy Idol's version of Mony Mony is just as good as the Tommy James version, and yeah, maybe even better. ☺ The other tunes are also great for dancing. We went a little risque for our first song, Je T'Aime. NOt really though, since it was an INSTRUMENTAL version. Didn't want to shock the old folks in attendance. LOL
ReplyDeleteOh so.e older people would get shocked at weddings. They were used to Blue Spanish Eyes.
ReplyDelete"Sharp Dress Man" is a good wedding song. I hadn't thought of it that way but really the Bride isn't the only one looking good on the big day. :) Thanks for sharing the dance floor with the 4M gang, Birgit. Have a boogietastic week!
