Then you can sit down for 30 minutes waiting for the next song you recognize.

At recent weddings? Yup. Who the heck can dance to that crap? I suck at dancing to rock music anyway.

Give me a two-step, triple-step, cowboy cha-cha or a waltz any day...I like being able dance in his arms! :)
 
40 years ago (around the time I married my first husband) the popular wedding songs were Paul Stookey - The Wedding Song; Carpenters - We've Only Just Begun; Fiddler on the Roof - Sunrise, Sunset. There were others, but those were HUGE, for the music during the wedding and/or the newlyweds' first dance at the reception. A lot of weddings were still using classics during the ceremony, like The Lord's Prayer (Mallotte) or Ave Maria (Schubert).

You left out the other biggie: Chicago - Colour My World - yes, the English spelling for a group calling itself Chicago.
 
Okay, 2 things:

1. Im 21 years old, you would think that eventually I would learn to not lock my keys in my car.

2. Heard a new form of birth control today. Its called the bucket and saucer method. Its for when the woman is taller than the man. The man gets up on a bucket, and you know... and once his eyes get the size of a saucer, she kicks the bucket out from him.

Ergh....to think of that at a wedding now. The lyrics are appropriate, but the music is almost a dirge. (Unless you immediately transition into the Chair Dance after it)

You also forgot Cotton-Eyed Joe gets the "kids" out on the dance floor nowadays.

After you made that comment, Sara, I had to go netsurfing & watch the bottle dance. Then I segued into the "To Life" scene & dancing, then tripped over this gem. We've all seen the bride & dad do the evolution of dance, Johnny & Baby wannabes, and wedding parties performing Thriller on YouTube. I've never seen this one before...the singing is not the best, but the subtitles are great, and I was smiling & laughing the whole way through.

Enjoy! :)

That episode was on TBS tonight!
 
I wish I had looked at the weather for Thursday before deciding to skip running today. 61>76. Boo.

I've learned if I skip a day, I end up skipping more than one because I reason with myself that my week is already screwed by skipping a day. I have to stick to a rigorous schedule. Monday-Friday, Saturday off, Sunday something outside like hiking up a mountain or something mind stimulating. If I'm up to it, I may go to the gym Saturday too, but ALWAYS Monday through Friday.
