Ours is “The Most Beautiful Girl in the Room” from Flight of the Conchords. Cracks us up every time, and I’m looking forward to dancing to this one at our wedding! ---

“American Pie” For reasons I don’t recall, I became so enamored with this song as a wee lad that I memorized the lyrics. Perhaps because it was seem to be a rather cryptic story that only [Cecil](http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/908/what-is-don-mcleans-song-american-pie-all-about) could figure out and he was not around. When I met Ms. DrumBum I found out that she liked it as well, no doubt influenced by an older sibling. We sang it - several times, if memory serves - at our wedding reception at the world famous Elbo Room, joined by patrons just as drunk as we were. It is on my iPhone and we still sing along when it comes up. 🙂 ---

Well, I just asked him since he’s standing right here. He said [The Bartender Song](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrGCQg-FbL0) by Rehab, but I think he was joking. I would probably say Bridge over Troubled Water (Simon and Garfunkle) - we’ve only danced together once and it was to that song. ---

Art Garfunkel’s version of “I Only Have Eyes For You” [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yrl3T8MaX8E](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yrl3T8MaX8E). I absentmindedly started singing it to her on a starry nighttime walk in the park and she got all wobbly! Now I cue it up on her iPod to play as the alarm for her birthday and our anniversary. A backup would be Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven”; I also sang the lyrics to her while we slowdanced in a bar, and she was VERY impressed that I knew all the words - I was 😕, but 🆒 ---

[12:59 Lullaby by Bedouin Soundclash](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tlI3Ce_4PQ). It was our wedding song. We also call [Crystallize by Lindsey Stirling](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHjpOzsQ9YI)our infertility journey song because I used it for our [IF Video](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Luqy9rpiN8g)(we entered a contest - didn’t win. Still is an important video for me). ---

I don’t think we’ve ever had one. She thinks it’s “Fields of Gold” by Sting.\* \*She doesn’t grasp that it’s about a guy who deflowered a young lady years ago and then left her, after making a bunch of promises he didn’t intend to keep. DOesn’t matter, though- it SOUNDS so pretty, and Sting is so dreamy! ---
