How'd she come up with this theme? Touching, but kinda weak on its face. Hoping for surprises.

My bitterness at being an old maid may keep me from enduring this whole set.

There's a great Depeche Mode song that fits this theme, but the title is escaping me.

I'd also nominate Badfinger "Day After Day", which my brother Joel used at his wedding.

Gotta run to take my kid on a field trip.  Have a great weekend everybody!

BOS's to Pretenders & Roxy Music.

BOS for Roxy!  I'm thinking Tinka will be enjoying this one.

Well, this is a bit of an improvement. BOS1 Roxy, More Than This.

BOS!! More Than This

Other nontraditional suggestions:

Talking Heads, "This Must Be the Place" (used by my friends Dave* and Bec)
Dorothy Moore, "I Believe You"
Association, "Never My Love"

Will we get Stookey's "Wedding Song" again?

PS: WOS to that stupid-ass JT cover

I notice that every time and have always wondered about it.  Without reason, I've assumed it was Stevie stifling a giggle.

Right on cue, here's JT. WOS so far.

My no-brainer predictions would be for Wouldn't It Be Nice, and When I'm 64. But I would not be bummed to not hear either one--hoping for less obvious selections.

I know Mike's stuffed his fingers in his ears, but Mraz and Callait's "Lucky" is a really pretty song.  Stunned that it only made it to #50 a few months ago.
Title: Re: 9 Oct 2009: Your Wedding Songs
Post by: Tinka Cat on October 09, 2009, 10:18:03 AM
is this Jason Mraz?

BOS for Long "I'm not a stereotype" Duck "I swear I'm not!" Dong.
Title: Re: 9 Oct 2009: Your Wedding Songs
Post by: urth on October 09, 2009, 10:18:45 AM
Wow, this set sure took a dive in a hurry. WOS2 Jason Mraz duetting with what sounds like Leslie Feist. I can almost hear Mike screaming in agony from here.

(Disclaimer: I did not recognize this as being Mraz. The player tipped me off.)

Sodden thought: I wonder if AL is tyin' the knot with her sweetie this weekend or something?

Would be great to hear from the original "Father of the Bride".

Title: Re: 9 Oct 2009: Your Wedding Songs
Post by: urth on October 09, 2009, 10:28:10 AM
Another in the partially cheezy category, but I'd wager a BOS for Macca's My Love anyway. Second bustout of set (after the Mraz/Caillat tune), if anyone's keeping track.

Haven't we heard this Godfather clip before?

BOS for the impressive clergyman in "Princess Bride"!  And when we got married, we made three tapes to play after the ceremony.  Nick Lowe was on there, so honorary BOS.  This was actually the only marriage-oriented song, actually.  It mostly included our favorite songs like "Everybody's Everything", "Hard to Handle" and "Under the Sea".  Heh.
Title: Re: 9 Oct 2009: Your Wedding Songs
Post by: urth on October 09, 2009, 10:38:01 AM
Ack! Of course, we get I Knew The Bride--but why'd it have to be the cheezy Huey Lewis-produced version? There are so many better ones out there.

I didn't know this was Huey-produced, though it sure does sound it.  Is he playing the harmonica on there?

Post by: Lightnin' Rod on October 09, 2009, 10:40:32 AM
Not really enjoying this all too much.  But BOS to the Pretenders, HM to Stevie and "I Knew the Bride When..."

My suggestions would have been LZ, "Thank You" and J. Geils "I Do", both of which were featured at weddings of my freinds.  "I Do" made a particularly festive recessional.

Yep. In fact, I believe the News is the backing band.

Hmmm, bonus song for true companions, true companions...I have a hunch what it's gonna be.

So what was that last bit about tune #9 being for Renee and Mike, "the matchmakers"? I think there's some subtext here we're not getting.

Looks like I guessed right. When I e-mailed my BOS vote, I asked AL if there were some personal significance to the topic of today's set and got this response:

Quote
Yup...I'm flying off to MA to take the plunge...get the old ball and chain..and whatever else they say:)
Who'da thunk it? Actually, Renee's hubby and my soon to be were school friends and she pretty much played matchmaker on this one so, we're excited and happy that the intense long distance wedding planning and craziness will soon melt into fun and laughter and even a lil honeymoon off Cape Cod.
I'll be back in 2 weeks...expect to hear a couple classic 10@10's in the mix from our dear Dave and Don days and some "encores" from the not so distant past, too.
Enjoy and take good care, Jim!!!
Thanks again for the note
Yer pal,
Annalisa

(She copped to it on the air, too, just before the bonus track.)

Wow, wish I'd been posting -- coulda answered the question. Webster mentioned the AL nupitals at the end of his show. (ya didn't think this was in honor of the wedding on The Office, did ya?) He also closed his show with "I'm Yours", and that means we heard Jazn Mrazzz *TWICE* in less than 30 minutes, which is surely against the Geneva Conventions.

And, if you know someone is (or has been) lesbian, why do you"play matchmaker" by fixing her up with a guy? Seems odd to me.

Plus: 2 weeks of "classics". Yikes.

But then again, if it works, you get triple word score points.  I have been the matchmaker for no less than 4 couples, and possibly a fifth, but I moved away and lost contact before I could be sure.  Certainly seemed like they were going to get married.

Maybe she wasn't into Irish Greg!  :)

"So .. Annalisa, do you have any Irish in ye?"

"Nope, I'm 100% Italian."

"hmm, heh... well, would you like a little Irish in ya? Nudge, nudge, wink, wink!"

No, it wasn't just Irish Greg to me back then.  Alicat talked or emailed her about it after the engagement was first made public & AL directly confirmed.
