Let’s hear it

July 13, 2007

In an effort to make our wedding as enjoyable as possible for everyone–and because we just like to talk about music–we’re asking you for a little help answering an important question:

What music should be played at any good wedding?

We’ve been thinking about this for months, and have come up with a playlist as long as our arms (all four of them put together), but we know our friends have good taste, and we want to make sure that eveyone ends up on the dancefloor at some point. So here’s your chance to get involved.

What do you want to hear? Specific songs would be appreciated, but bands you like would be helpful too. If everyone who reads this contributes something (even people who can’t make it to the wedding…think of it as a way to be there even in your absence!) then we’re sure to have the most eclectic set of wedding music ever.

Eagerly awaiting your response,

Petya and Kyle

    What about I like to move it by Real2Real? :) Should be played at a later stage when most people are nicely intoxicated! :)

    Well…you’ve requested it. Hope you won’t be too embarrassed when we actually play it :P

    i’d like it if there is a heavy load of bass. dubstep will be best, classic dub is another option .

    btw, lemme know if you want to have the best bartender around (+ his crew), they’re so nice and charming… I bet all ladies will get high on alcohol for less than half hour :)

    Antony and the Johnsons - “Fistful of Love” :D

    задължителна за една сватба е циганската музика. Иначе не е става.

  11. d3ad3y3 said:

    Klezmer muziek… De Amsterdamer Klezmer Band в частност :)
    И въобще, Петя, с радост ще ти помогна да издириш всякаква класива музика за сватби от всички региони на света (това включва и особено се отнася до Конго, Мали, Мексико…)…
    Иначе, не знам кой и как би танцувал на Tanz, Tanz, Jidelekh! и на Hava Nagila, ама пък какво настроение имат…
    И да, персоналните ми три поздрава за вас:
    Space - me and you versus the world
    и
    Einstuerzende Neubauten - Stella Maris и Blume
    Хайде, всички тръпнем…

    Marc Cohn “True Companion”…Beautiful wedding song. (You do have quite the mix! )

  13. leigh said:

    well, just for Kyle, I’m going to suggest “Sweet Virgina”

  14. petya said:

    Wow! Thank you all so much for the suggestions! You are the best!!!

  15. Elina said:

    Ехей младежи, а не забравяте ли все пак мястото и страната, в която ще се извърши това свещенодействие!!!! Дано не прозвучи като съвет от човек над средната възраст, обаче според мен на тази ВАША сватба трябва да има БЪЛГАРСКА НАРОДНА МУЗИКА или казано накратко - ХОРЦАы ХОРЦА и пак хорца…… Че то BG сватба без “аху-ихо” може ли???

    “Embraceable You” is the most romantic song I know. We danced to it at our wedding and I get choked up just thinking about it (could also be the pregnancy hormones). And now we sing it to our son as a lullaby. Best wishes as your date approaches!

  17. Ellie said:

    I will dance like a fool to anything from the 80’s. Anything. Also, even though it might be cliche in certain circles, I think “This is the First Day of my Life” by Bright Eyes is the sweetest love song.

  18. petya said:

    Елина: Ама разбира се! Какво е сватба без хоро?! Трябва да научим и американските гости да го играят

    Julie: “I get choked up just thinking about it” was the cutest thing you could have said to introduce that song

    Ellie: Same with me!!! Love the 80’s. I never listened to 80’s music in the 80’s…being too young and living in a communist Bulgaria…So, a lot of it is actually NEW to me now! lol We are going to have a blast! We should think about giving people a copy of our “Wedding Dance Mix” to take away with them too…

  19. Ellie said:

    Petya,
    Would you like me to make a little 80s mix? Are there certain songs you’d want?

  20. dians said:

    what about some Goran Bregovic music? ;]
    Bubamara, the song from the Black Cat White Cat movie is totally a wedding one ;]…it is for the later stage playlist i guess, but it is up to you ;]

  21. Petya said:

    Ellie! Please do, we can pass it on to the DJ :)) You MUST include Psycho Killer by the Talking Heads. Which, technically, is NOT an 80’s song, but I don’t think that anyone would mind ;)

  22. Petya said:

    Dians: GREAT idea!

  23. Brooke said:

    Ooo, I Wedding Dance Mix CD! You may have just committed yourself to the idea, Petya….! :)

    Bagpipe(s)live on entry with tune from the Rhodopes (may add drum (tapan) for a more authentic feel- enhances the tension- worked for me anyway:

    In addition, note my wedding party must-have list:

    Glora Gaynor (?)- I will survive
    Aretha Franklin- Respect (to complement the above which was chosen by the bride :ob)
    Donna Summer- Hot Stuff
    Midnight Oil- Beds are Burning
    Sony&Cher- I love you babe
    KC&theSunshine Band- That’s the way I like it
    The Troggs- Wild Thing (definitely the groom’s choice)
    Aerosmith- Crazy (so 90’s!)
    Belinda Carlisle- Heaven is a place on earth
    MJ- Smooth Criminal (No I’m not a covert Michael Jackson fan- I just happen to like this one :O))
    C&C Music Factory- Everybody Dance Now
    Chuck Berry- Johny B Goode
    James Brown - Get up sex machine
    Loius Armstrong- What a wonderful world
    Roy Orbison- You’ve got it

    Miscellaneous

    Morcheeba- Rome wasn’t built in a Day
    n.e.r.d.- she wants to (so sexy this one)
    Fun Loving criminals- Scooby Snacks (the best ever)
    U2- One
    INXS- Elegantly Wasted
    PIF- Kolelo (my favorite in Bulgarian)
    ??????- Pump up the Jam
    SNAP- The Power (unfailingly makes me turn up the volume)

    My wife and I just celebrated our first anniversary. Would be happy to share some of our experiences and crazy ideas.
    Anyway, hope you have a blast!!
