    Wedding soundtrack

    Oooh - I've just been asked to work at the pub tomorrow from 10 till 2! Which means I get the royal wedding shift! Which means I have control of the jukebox during the big event!

    Now, White Wedding and God Save the Queen are obvious, but there must be others to ruin the big day with. Our jukebox claims to have every top 40 track since the fifties, so I'm sure you lot must have some decent ideas.

    Oops, my first ever post in Music, and I realise I've been beaten to it.

    The shame

      Wedding soundtrack

      I went to a wedding
      Though only the night time
      I didn’t know them that well
      I watched on from the margins
      At the dance floor crowded

      The deejay adhered to the rule of occasion
      Dancing Queen, Shoop Shoop Song, You’re The One That I Want
      They’re the ones that they want
      He knew his trade well, I could see

      And at a table nearby I heard a girl saying
      To a tall balding guest
      "So you’re Brad Friedel ... I’m mildly impressed"
      I thought I’d chance my arm; her reply won my heart:
      "So you’re William Pitt ... Elder or Younger?"

      And then, inexplicably,
      for reasons unfathomable
      but to me wholly admirable
      the deejay played us some Tallis

      He yanked off The Corrs in disgust and announced, "Thomas Tallis"
      (Lamentations of Jeremiah)

      Across an empty dancefloor I walked to commend him
      And also enquire if he had any Dowland

      The incident passed, things got back to normal
      At the end of the evening everyone staggered out singing
      And they were singing ...

      "Oh you can’t put your foot up in Europe
      You can’t show your studs on the ‘nent
      They take a dim view of a slightly raised shoe
      So think on if you’re up against Ghent (my lad)
      Think on if you’re up against Ghent"
