In which a NYTimes Wedding Announcement renders me indignant at Millenials ;-)

HAHAHA! An oxymoron if ever there was one.

On the other hand, I suppose that explains your aversion to smooth jazz. :wink:

:smiley:

Of course you realize you’re going to Heck for this. Pleasant music like DSB doesn’t require the full trip to Hell, but still…

And yes, Starving Artist, I would put Don’t Stop Believin on a playlist with smooth jazz like Kenny G. I would then burn the playlist.

I’d be honored, and only slightly skeptical of your sound judgement.

You could also invite friends (either very tolerant or very expendable ones) over, and show the movie, with the song edited in at some random point. Watch a tiny part of them die at the moment of realisation!

For extra credit, tape it and post it here.

Let the hate flow through you: Starship's "We Built This City" - Why the hate? - Cafe Society - Straight Dope Message Board

Just to make people’s heads explode, I have a recording of Starship’s Mickey Thomas singing Don’t Stop Believin’, in which he did an impeccable Steve Perry imitation.

Yes, yes, yes! I was in a situation last year where I was negotiating to shoot somebody’s fancy schmancy house party and they were lowballing me, trying to entice me to shoot at a lower rate, because the Plain White T’s would be playing this intimate affair. I passed on the job.

Don’t know if you were referring to the tempo or the lyrics, but it made me think that The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald would be an outstanding anthem in this category either way.

“we were dancing for days, but everyone had fallen asleep”

Kansas’s “Dust in the Wind” would be a real wedding-party buzzkill, too.

Is it just me, or do both of the guys in the OP’s article look like Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy)?

“She had points of her own, sittin’ way up high…way up firm and high”

Oh yeah, great wedding song :wink:

No, no. Better that they both step up to the microphone and recite

I used her
she used me
but neither one cared

We were gettin’ our share…*

[COLOR=Black]Or just have everyone shout along with Hollywood Nights. :rolleyes:

Or maybe the blushing young bride can give us Tina Turner’s closing credits song from Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome

What’s love

Got to do with it?

And I can’t fight this feeling anymore
I’ve forgotten what I started fighting for
But I like We Built This City! Especially in the mash-up with We’re Not Gonna Take It in Rock of Ages.

it is quite possible that the reason i remain unmarried, is that i would insist on “the chicken dance” to be the first dance. i believe it would be glorious!

Crash any wedding in Wisconsin, and you’ll end up doing the chicken dance (twice, since the mother of the bride will request it after the open bar does its work…).
