I've been tasked with sorting out the disco music for our wedding as the future Mrs H is organising just about everything else, apparently some cheese is required. Any classic suggestions from the stw massif (obviously I can't say what the first song is!)
The context is borrowdale valley YHA in a marquee in May, hopefully glorious sunshine, possibly rain but heres hoping! We also have a band playing clasic 70's beatles, dire straits etc 🙂
Communards. "Don't leave me this way"
Cher. "If I could turn back time"
Queen. "I want to break free"
Kaiser Chiefs "Every day I love you less and less"
Killers. "Somebody told me"
Smiths. "Girlfriend in a coma"
IGMC
Good suggestions keep them coming.
I wanted 'nice day for a white wedding' Billy Idol
or 'bring your daughter to the slaughter' Iron Maiden
as the first songs but i've been firmly told NO!
Manics - Generation Terrorist
Ramstein?
Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart
Cure - LoveCats
Cyndi Lauper - Girls just wanna have fun (to get all the girls up!)
B52s - Love shack
Stones Roses ..?
Guns N Roses - Sweet Child O Mine
cheese....
Abba - Dancing Queen
Dr Hook - when you're in love with a beautiful woman
Allways Look On The Bright Side Of Life 😉
The sound of settling - Death Cab for Cutie
Cure - Friday I'm in love
Dead Kennedys - Too drunk to f*ck
Prodigy-Smack my bitch up 🙂
Malcolm Middleton - Death Love Depression Love Death
Mogwai - I Love You, I'm Going To Blow Up Your School

I reckon I might be able to slip some in without the future wife noticing!
Imperial March by John Williams.
Or the Dambusters March as featured at my own wedding.
Too drunk to f*ck.
Certainly true of my wedding night/morning/the next day.
As much as it pains me, cheese is the way to go.
The Proclaimers - 500 miles.

I DJd a wedding as afavour to a friend a few years ago, I'd just got off from a tour as the warmup/tour DJ for an at the time big band so I just brought along the stuff I'd been touring with.
It was ****ing ace to see Grandad busting a move to the Libertines and a bloke getting a public scolding for throwing Townsend windmills to won't get fooled again.
I also managed to play the theme to Sickness and in Health and close with I could be so good for you (theme from Minder).
Come to think of it, it's been a few years but the email's in the profile if you fancy similar.
Our first dance was Songs of love by Divine Comedy, took most people a wee while to cop also theme music father ted, especially apropriate as we're Irish and I get called Dougle frequently.
Busted - crashed the wedding
Midnight beast - ninjas
anything by the wedding present
(see what I did there and nice depressing songs about cheating and unrequieted love)
we made a mix cd of indie stuff and cheese. Worked well.
U2 - I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
Knocking at your back door - Deep Purple
And open with The Stone Roses - Breaking Into Heaven. Five minute intro, gives them time to get another pint in quick.
