Morning guys! Happy freakin Friday!! Got a ride up in the lakes ahead of me with a bit of luck, weather holding.
I'm at a wedding there this weekend and have been given the... err... honour of bestman. As part of my speech I want to pass of a song as a poem that the groom and I wrote together to express his love for her. But I'm terrible with music. Can you give me some recommendations as to a cheesy tune that people will recognise, that I can pass of in all scincerity as Mine and the Grooms - tongue in cheek.
Blood hound gangs - doing it like mamals is possibly a bit blue.

Nine Inch Nails - Hurt
drink a pint of glass before hand and do the Johnny Cash version
I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt0 -

how about the chorus from The Bad Touch, by the Blodhound gang.
You and me baby aint nothing but mammals.................0 -
Kaiser chiefs - every day I love you less and less
seriously though go for something from boyzone or westlife and you can't go wrong. Instead of doing it as a poem why not just crack out the sing star or rock band and do it in style!!!!! :shock:0 -

you would be a fool not to throw out whatever you have written and play this

Roberta Flack
The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the empty skies, my love,
To the dark and the empty skies.
The first time ever I kissed your mouth
And felt your heart beat close to mine
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command, my love
That was there at my command.
And the first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy would fill the earth
And last till the end of time my love
It would last till the end of time my love0 -

For maximum effect it needs to be a song with a well written first verse but that has a chorus that everyone will know and have a "penny dropping" moment. Love the idea, but can't think of any songs off the top of my head myself right now.0

Surely the guests will all recognise that song from the first line?0 -

why not come up with some words yourself, as opposed to passing off some gimpish music producer's work as your effort at delivering a powerful message to the bride/groom and all those listening?
Personally, if someone started reading out lyrics of a random song at my wedding, I'd set them on fire.
If you MUST use someone else's words, why not consider something a little more classical and refined, rather than the mumblings of a band that had a number 7 hit in the UK charts.
It doesn't have to be obscure, paraphrase a classical poet or author, one that the commoners might have even heard of so that you don't ostracise them, but at the same time suggests that you put a bit of thought into it rather than asking a bunch of webbos on a mountain bike internet fourm.
