My wife and I consider Anything, Anything by Dramarama our "Dating Song"
Oh, gee, what is it tonight?
At least just tell me what the hell is wrong,
Do you want to eat, do you want to sleep, do you want to drown?
Just settle down, settle down, settle down...
I'll give you give candy, give you diamonds, give you pills,
Give you anything you want, hundred dollar bills,
I'll even let you watch the shows you want to see,
Just marry me, marry me, marry me...
I'm so sick of you tonight,
You never stay awake when I get home,
Is something wrong with me, something wrong with you?
I really wish I knew, wish I knew, wish I knew...
I'll give you candy, give you diamonds, give you pills,
Give you anything you want, hundred dollar bills,
I even let you watch the shows you want to see,
Because you married me, married me, married me...
When I was young I learned a game,
Where love and happiness were the same,
Now I'm older and I don't play,
I found out the hardest way,
I got wasted, she got mad, called me names and she called her dad,
He got crazy and I did too, wondered what I did to you.
I'll give you candy, give you diamonds, give you pills,
Give you anything you want, hundred dollar bills,
I even let you hear the songs I want to sing,
I'll give you anything, anything, anything...
I'll give you anything, anything, anything
At our wedding we were supposed to dance to Have I Told You Lately by Van Morrison, but we actualy wound up dancing to Have I Told You Lately by Rod Stewart.
I HATE Rod Stewart!
Still, we didn't want to cause a scene by disembowleing the DJ.
Although how he messed that up is beyond me, since we GAVE him the exact CD to use with a HUGE label on the front that said "Bride & Groom's First Dance Song!!!"
Same lyrics either way though.
Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there’s no one above you
Fill my heart with gladness
Take away my sadness
Ease my troubles, that’s what you do
Oh the morning sun in all it’s glory
Greets the day with hope and comfort too
And you fill my life with laughter
You can make it better
Ease my troubles that’s what you do
There’s a love that’s divine
And it’s yours and it’s mine
Like the sun at the end of the day
We should give thanks and pray to the one
Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there’s no one above you
Fill my heart with gladness
Take away my sadness
Ease my troubles, that’s what you do
There’s a love that’s divine
And it’s yours and it’s mine
And it shines like the sun
At the end of the day we will give thanks
And pray to the one
Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there’s no one above you
Fill my heart with gladness
Take away my sadness
Ease my troubles, that’s what you do
Take away my sadness
Fill my life with gladness
Ease my troubles that’s what you do
Fill my life with gladness
Take away my sadness
Ease my troubles that’s what you do.
The other two songs that remind each of us of the other are Here Comes Your Man by The Pixies.
outside there's a box car waiting
outside the family stew
out by the fire breathing
outside we wait 'til face turns blue
i know the nervous walking
i know the dirty beard hangs
out by the box car waiting
take me away to nowhere plains
there is a wait so long
here comes your man
big shake on the box car moving
big shake to the land that's falling down
is a wind makes a palm stop blowing
a big, big stone fall and break my crown
there is a wait so long
you'll never wait so long
here comes your man
there is a wait so long
you'll never wait so long
here comes your man
And her choice is Mrs. You and Me by The Smoking Popes
I'm thinking about asking you to be
Mrs. You and Me
I'm taking my time trying to find out
If there's any doubt
They say, we're too young
But I never listen to what I've been told
And I'd rather be to young, than too old
To feel the way I do about you
I'm taking a long look at all the pain
Life with you might bring
I'm taking a good look inside my heart
I think I'm ready to start
Today, could be the day
But I'm waiting for the perfect time and place
And I'm scared, what you might say baby, please
Please don't turn me away
I need you
They say, we're too young
But I never listen to what I've been told
And I'd rather be to young, than too old
To feel the way I do
About you
I'm thinking about asking you to be

I'm so sorry. Did you at least send him a letter afterwards telling him that he screwed up, and you weren't happy about it?

Nah.
We should have, but after we collapsed* at the end of the day, we decided that any day that ended with the two of us married to each other was a perfect day, and we just laughed it off.
Now whenever we hear the Rod Stewart version on the radio or whaever, we laugh and say they're playing "our song."
* Collapsed is putting it mildly.
We had an outdoor, Medieval theme wedding on May 6th, 2000 in NE Ohio.
Who would have figured that we'd have a record setting 86 degree heat wave that weekend?!?!?
I certainly didn't plan for that when I picked out black velvet for my wedding garb!!!

I've never been able to get my girlfriend to dance AT ALL so it'll make our wedding very interesting. I might be able to get her to mosh though. How about "Die Die My Darling" by The Misfits?
Or to really set her heart on fire, "Too Drunk to F
" by the Dead Kennedys.
But seriously, I'm not sure we have an "our song". Probably something by U2.

Kathy's Song Paul Simon
I hear the drizzle of the rain
Like a memory it falls
Soft and warm continuing
Tapping on my roof and walls
And from the shelter of my mind
through the window of my eyes
I gaze beyond the rain-drenched streets
To England where my heart lies
My mind's distracted and diffused
My thoughts are many miles away
They lie with you when you're asleep
And kiss you when you start your day
And a song I was writing is left undone
I don't know why I spend my time
Writing songs I can't believe
With words that tear and strain to rhyme
And so you see I have come to doubt
All that I once held as true
I stand alone without beliefs
The only truth I know is you
And as I watch the drops of rain
Weave their weary paths and die
I know that I am like the rain
There but for the grace of you go I
I hear the drizzle of the rain

My mind's distracted and diffused
My thoughts are many miles away

And as I watch the drops of rain
Weave their weary paths and die
I know that I am like the rain

There're so many good love songs out there to choose from.....
"Straight to You" - Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
"Be Mine" - REM
"Honey Don't Think" - Grant Lee Buffalo
"You Said Something" - PJ Harvey
"Into You" - JPSE
"Closer" - NIN
are a few of my faves.
P.S. If anyone tries to play Rod Stewart at my wedding there will be bloodshed. A talentless old hack who [SINGS LIKE A LOVESICK CHICKEN/DANCES LIKE AN ENRAGED MARMOT/SETS MY HEART AFLUTTER, but certainly doesn't do something rather rude], and is quite unable to grasp the concept of a "final" tour being final. No offense to anyone.

Rod Stewart was supposed to play a concert at a college near where I lived back in '90, but cancelled due to being "too sick to perform" - and then played a different gig somewhere else the same night! A bunch of the students got together and bought a totalled Ford Thunderbird and planted all sorts of obscenities and insults on it and sent it to him. They called it "shooting him the 'bird." They also did a parody of "Forever Young" called "Forever Scum" that the local stations played in rotation for a while - and they would even break out of regular shows like Rick Dees or AT40 when they were about to play a Rod Stewart song in their charts and play "Forever Scum" instead.
