Wanted: Song for wedding dance

#1 Post by SiMonster » Sun May 12, 2013 10:33 am

Hello guys'n'girls

The time is coming soon: I will marry my beloved girl!
And of course we will do a wedding dance! And of course we want to dance Lindy Hop!

Here's the plan: We would like to start slow (slow waltz / blues) and then go over to a nice, swinging tune to dance some Lindy.

My problem is: I have no idea, what song we wanna dance to. Do you have any ideas which fulfull the criteria? Ah yeah: Did i already mention, that the lyrics should be romantic too? :roll: :wink:

I am very thankful for any good advice :)

Cheers,
Simon

For my wedding last year, we chose Exactly Like You. I like the sentiment of the song.

Hi SiMonster,

For your waltz, try Falling In Love Again (Ich bin von Kopf bis Fuss auf Liebe eingestellt) by Greg Poppleton & the Bakelite Broadcasters

For you Lindy, try the Broadcasters' version of Exactly Like You

Here are the Bandcamp links:

Falling In Love Again

Exactly Like You

Check out other songs on the album 'Doin' The Charleston' you might want to use...
