First Dance

22:01 / 30.06.05

Got a date for my wedding and a venue sorted, and have decided on the 'first dance' song.

Otis Reddings - For Your Precious Love

Partly because it's simple, partly because it's beautiful and partly because of a shared love for Otis between me and Mrs The Ball.

Yours? Why?

Brigade du jour

17:41 / 01.07.05

Got to be Chas & Dave's 'Rabbit'.

Just as well I'm not planning to get married, isn't it? For oh-so-many reasons, actually ...

23:42 / 01.07.05

The second track from Sports Weekend.

I like the way you lick the champagne glass...

01:05 / 02.07.05

Singin through you to me
Thunderbolts caught easily
Shouts the truth peacefully
Electricity

High voltage man kisses night to bring the light to those who need to hide their shadow deed
Go into bright find the light and know that friends don't mind just how you grow

Midnight cowboy stained in black reads dark roads without a map
To free selectricity

Lighthouse beacon straight ahead straight ahead across black seas to bring
Seeking electricity

High voltage man kisses night to bring the light to those who need to hide their shadow-deed hide their shadow-deed

Seek electricity
Electricityyyyyongongongongongongggg....

Regrettable Juvenilia

Nirvana, 'All Apologies', obviously.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

'Lady in Re-' joke, joke!

Erm... despite being a hopeless romantic, I'm one of those people who doesn't want to get married because it's against my constitution (dichotomy rules my life!), but off the top of my head I'd probably either choose:

'What a Difference a Day Made' by Billie Holiday,

or,

'We Have All the Time in the World', or 'What a Wonderful World' by Louis Armstrong.

Jack The Bodiless

10:09 / 04.07.05

Ministry - 'Jesus Built My Hotrod', or SG5 - 'Sonic Shake', or Rob Zombie - 'Dragula'. Because after getting married I would want to move like a motherfucker for a few minutes, become sweaty, dishevelled and out of breath, and require another drink straight away, and the only other way to achieve this effect would be to have my wedding night a few hours early... Bride's parents', they frown on that.

'Baby I Love You' By The Ramones

What more can I say, its hoplessly romantic and says everything i would want to say to my partner on a wedding day.

Cheesy? isn't that what weddings are about?

Have I ever told you
How good it feels to hold you
It isn't easy to explain

And though I'm really tryin'
I think I may start cryin'
My heart can't wait an other day

When you kiss me I just gotta
Kiss me I just gotta
Kiss me I just gotta say :

Baby, I love you
Come on baby
Baby, I love you
Baby I love, I love only you

I can't live without you
I love everything about you
I can't help it if I feel this way

Oh I'm so glad I found you
I want my arms around you
I love to hear you call my name

Oh tell me that you feel
Tell me that you feel
Tell me that you feel the same

Baby, I love you
Come on baby
baby, I love you
Baby I love, I love only you

there's also something politely subversive about seeing granny and aunty Joan tapping their toes along to the Ramones.

Anything by Napalm Death. They're also a good soundtrack for when you're alone later on in the honeymoon suite, as most of their songs clock in at under thirty seconds.
