About Mrs. French Bulldog

That’s My Jam!

September 15th, 2009 @ 5:51 pm by Mrs. French Bulldog

I interrupt the Frenchiemoon recaps to bring you a post I was working on before our wedding: our song list.

Although we had an awesome band for our wedding, we also had a DJ for the main “dancing” portion of the evening. To assure that Celine Dion or Mariah Carey didn’t make an appearance at the French Bulldog wedding, Mr Frenchie and I put together a little playlist. We spent an afternoon listening to our iTunes and writing down songs wanted to hear and thought our guests would enjoy… and enjoy, they did!

Anniversary Dance - “When I’m 64″ - The Beatles
Bouquet Toss - “Clumsy” - Fergie
Garter Toss - “Pink Panther Theme” - Henry Mancini
Cake Cutting - “How Sweet It Is” - James Taylor (We wanted to do “Ma Na Ma Na” by The Muppets, by we didn’t think our older guests would get it.)

Dance Tunes

  • “At Last” - Etta James
  • “Brick House” - The Commodores
  • “Brighter Than Sunshine” - Aqualung
  • “Brown Eyed Girl” - Van Morrison
  • “Build me up, Buttercup” - The Fountains (BM F & my song)

  • “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” - Queen
  • “Dancing Queen” - Abba
  • “Don’t Stop the Music” - Rihanna (Club Mix)
  • “Float On” - Modest Mouse
  • “Get Off My Cloud” - Rolling Stones
  • “Gimme More” - Britney Spears
  • “Got My Own Thing Now” - Squirrel Nut Zippers
  • “Groove is in the Heart” - Deee-lite
  • “Hip to be Square” - Huey Lewis
  • “I Can’t Help Myself” - The Four Tops

  • “I Want You to Want Me” - Cheap Trick
  • “It Had to be You” - Harry Conick, Jr

  • “Life is a Highway” - John Cochrane
  • “Love Shack” - B-52s
  • “Moondance” - Michael Buble (version)
  • “My Girl” - The Temptations
  • “Old Time Rock n Roll” - Bob Seger
  • “Pennies from Heaven” - Louis Prima

We had the muppets “Ma na ma na” as our wedding party entrance song! It totally entertained the guests. Love your playlist!

You needn’t have worried about ma-na-ma-na — the muppets totally stole that song. I remember watching that skit on the Ed Sullivan show!

Great songs, Frenchie! I realized that no Rolling Stone songs made it on to our list, that’s a shame! I love them.

That is a great list! Ours was more of a reccomendation list for our DJ, with only about 10 songs that were absolute Must-Plays.

Our Garter Removal Song was - Playmate of the Year by Zebrahead. My grandmother wasn’t so sure about it, but we thought it was pretty hysterical!
