Bobby Goldsboro: "Honey"

I once went to a wedding where the bride was visibly pregnant, and this was the song the bride and groom chose for their first dance at the reception. I think it was supposed to be sort of in-your-face, like “if we’d cared about covering, we would’ve gotten married three months ago, when we first found out, by a judge,” but these were two of the least likely in-your-face people I knew, and they’d just had a very religious wedding, with a Eucharist (Episcopal), and a choir singing processionals, or whatever. And then in any context, except maybe a drag show, it’s such a stupid song. Several people went to the bathroom, because it was so hard not to laugh. They went on to have a very conventional life, as far as I know. I’m not still in touch with them, but I was for about ten years.

I’ve long thought “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” would be a good song for a wedding.

Ours was “Hava Nagila.”

Comedian Kristen Schaal joked that the song played at her wedding was U2’s “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For.”

Me, I’d go with Good Enough For Now by “Weird Al.”

I wanted that one, but I knew I’d be the only one laughing.

Not to worry folks, I am alive and well. I faked my death to get away from the bastard. The jerk actually kicked my dog once.

I escaped to a cabin in the Adirondacks. :cool:

You have brightened my day immeasurably!

He obviously left the unfinished lyrics where she could find them, then she read them and killed herself when she found out she married such a terrible writer.

The forced rhymes are nearly in the same league with Seasons in the Sun. Almost. (the stars we could reach were just starfish on the beach). The lyrics are bad enough to earn a D for a middle school girl writing it for homework.
