On That Note: When we get Married

[cyclones500]

“Would you like to marry me? And if you like, you can buy the ring”

 

[cyclones500]

I don’t know if we’ve done this yet … numerous versions available, let’s do Pete Seeger. Shall we? Uh-huh.

 

[BoxsterCy]

Since it been 24 hours now I am going to break the rules.

No wedding, marriage, bride or groom title or lyrics but LOTS of weddings, lots of brides and lots of grooms. And just a fun video.

 

[Cydar]

Find a girl, settle down
If you want you can marry

 

[Sigmapolis]

And then we’ll be married.
And then we’ll be happy.
Oh, wouldn’t it be nice?

Ke Kali Ne Au by Martin Denny:



which I like a lot better than Don Ho's version:

 

[VeloClone]

Since it been 24 hours now I am going to break the rules.

No wedding, marriage, bride or groom title or lyrics but LOTS of weddings, lots of brides and lots of grooms. And just a fun video.

Mrs. Velo loves your pick. She loves Adam and loves this song.

Almost forgot about this one:

Queen - Good Company

"Come marry me, forevermore, we'll be good company
Now marriage is an institution, sure
My wife and I, our needs, and nothing more
All my friends by a year
By and by, disappeared
But we're safe enough behind our door"

And I quote myself for more Queen content. Listened to the full album on my drive home and remembered this selection. The words aren't in the original list, but they pertains to engagements and weddings so I'm posting it:

Queen - Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon

"I go out to work on Monday morning
Tuesday, I go off to honeymoon
I'll be back again before it's time for sunny-down
I'll be lazing on a Sunday afternoon
Bicycling on every Wednesday evening
Thursday, I go waltzing to the zoo
I come from London town
I'm just an ordinary guy
Fridays, I go painting in the Louvre
I'm bound to be proposing on a Saturday night
(There he goes again)
I'll be lazing on a Sunday
Lazing on a Sunday
Lazing on a Sunday afternoon"

At Last by Etta James

At last
My love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song



Get Me To The Church On Time by Stanley Holloway, from the Musical Classic My Fair Lady

Lyrics:

There are drinks and girls all over London, and I've
gotta track 'em down in just a few more hours!
I'm getting married in the morning!
Ding dong! The bells are gonna chime.



To the Aisle by The Five Satins

Lyrics:

First a boy and a girl meet each other
Then they sit down to talk for a while
In your heart, you'll want her for a lover
While each step, draws you closer to the aisle

You may start with a simple conversation
My darling, please put me on trial
She says, yes and your heart starts beating
While each step, draws you closer to the aisle

You ask her if she loves you she answers, "I do"
Your heart starts glowing inside
And then you will know she is just for you
While each step, draws you closer to the aisle

Then you put a ring on her finger
And the tears start flowing awhile
Then you'll know she's yours forever
While each step, draws you closer to the aisle

She says, yes and your heart starts beating
While each step, draws you closer to the aisle

I don't think I saw this one posted yet. Came up on hubs playlist this morning.

 

[BigTurk]

A cover and a mash-up but so great (though I really hate country music).




A bit of a stretch I admit. No mention of marriage or weddings but "play house." And let's be honest this song just kicks a$$.


Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby baby
Baby, baby baby, be-be-be-be-be-be baby baby, baby
Baby baby baby
Come back, baby, I want to play house with you
Well, you may go to college
You may go to school
You may have a pink Cadillac
But don't you be nobody's fool
Now baby come back, baby, come
Come back, baby, come
Come back, baby I want to play house with you
Now listen and I'll tell you baby
What I'm talking about
Come on back to me, little girl
So we can play some house
Now baby come back, baby, come
Come back, baby, come
Come back, baby
I want to play house with you (oh let's play house, baby)
Now this is one thing, baby
That I want you to know
Come on back and let's play a little house
And we can act like we did before
Well, baby come back, baby, come
Come back, baby, come
Come back, baby I want to play house with you (hit it)
Yeah
Now listen to me, baby
Try to understand
I'd rather see you dead, little girl
Than to be with another man
Now baby come back, baby, come
Come back, baby, come
Come back, baby, I want to play house with you
Oh, baby baby baby
Baby baby baby be-be-be-be-be-be baby baby baby
Baby baby baby
Come back, baby, I want to play house with you




Gaelic Storm - Human to a God

"she's set to marry him."



Dr. Hook - Sylvia's Mother
"...marry a fella down Galveston way." [this version on Shel Silverstein's house boat is the best]

Never heard this Dr Hook song. Very interesting and unique.
