Elton John's wedding: a serious question

[Major Robert Dump]

Which song should they have played first for the symbolic "first dance" at the wedding reception?

I'm going with the theme song from "Shaft," for thematic purposes of course

[Gregoshi]

"Blow the Man Down" of course:

Come all ye young fellows that follow the sea,
to my way haye, blow the man down,
And pray pay attention and listen to me,
Give me some time to blow the man down.


I'm a deep water sailor just in from Hong Kong,
to my way haye, blow the man down,
if you'll give me some grog, I'll sing you a song,
Give me some time to blow the man down.


'Twas on a Black Baller I first served my time,
to my way haye, blow the man down,
And on that Black Baller I wasted my prime,
Give me some time to blow the man down.


'Tis when a Black Baller's preparing for sea
to my way haye, blow the man down,
You'd split your sides laughing at the sights that you see.
Give me some time to blow the man down.


With the tinkers and tailors and soljers and all
to my way haye, blow the man down,
That ship for prime seaman on board a Black Ball.
Give me some time to blow the man down.


'Tis when a Black Baller is clear of the land,
to my way haye, blow the man down,
Our Boatswain then gives us the word of command
Give me some time to blow the man down.


"Lay aft," is the cry,"to the break of the Poop!
to my way haye, blow the man down,
Or I'll help you along with the toe of my boot!"
Give me some time to blow the man down.


'Tis larboard and starboard on the deck you will sprawl,
to my way haye, blow the man down,
For "Kicking Jack" Williams commands the Black Ball.
Give me some time to blow the man down.


Pay attention to order, now you one and all,
to my way haye, blow the man down,
For right there above you flies the Black Ball.
Give me some time to blow the man down.

Big Gay Al- "I'm Super"

Bombs are flying
People are dying
Children are crying
Politicians are lying too.

Cancer is killing
Texaco's spilling
The whole world's gone to hell
But how are you?

I'm super
Thanks for asking
All things considered
I couldn't be better I must say

I'm feeling super
No, nothing bugs me
Everything is super when you're
Don't you think I look cute in this hat

I'm so sorry
Mr. Cripple
But I just can't feel too bad for you right now.
Because I'm feeling
So insanely super
That even the fact that you can't walk
Can't bring me down

Background singers:
He's super
Thanks for asking
All things considered
He couldn't be better he must say

Big Gay Al:
I'm super
No, nothing bugs me
Everything is super when you're
Don't you think I look cute in this hat
These little pants, this matching tie
That I got at Vogue

I'm super

Background singers:
In the barracks and the trenches as well

Big Gay Al:
Stick 'em up.

Background singers:
Big Gay Al says do ask do tell

Big Gay Al:
Skittles

Background singers:
Yes he's super and he's proud to be gay

Big Gay Al:
OK

Background singers:
Everything is super when you're gay!
When you're gay!

Big Gay Al- "I'm Super"
I agree..a perfect song for a wedding

[Gawain of Orkeny]

Another thread with an erroneous title. He didnt get married . He had a civil union. Much as it has been touted , gay marriage is still not legal in the UK. Civil unions are.

Yes, but which one bites the pillow? :san_kiss:

[Strike For The South]

Yes, but which one bites the pillow? :san_kiss:
