Serious Thread: I need your input
 

Just got back from my weekly dinner with my daughter. As her wedding is three weeks away we managed to fit in some discussion of it while watching the Lakers prepare for their next championship win.

Anyway, the topic of the father/daughter dance came up, and she said the choice was mine. So, how about some suggestions?

Dancing queen. ABBA

The first question would be how good of a dancer are you?

please dont do luther vandross song dance with my father.

lots of other really really good ones. let me think on it.

Can't Touch This - Mc Hammer

If you dont want a dry eye in the house pick this song.
Lullabye (Goodnight My Angel)
Billy Joel
Goodnight, my angel
Time to close your eyes
And save these questions for another day
I think I know what you've been asking me
I think you know what I've been trying to say
I promised I would never leave you
And you should always know
Wherever you may go
No matter where you are
I never will be far away

Goodnight, my angel
Now it's time to sleep
And still so many things I want to say
Remember all the songs you sang for me
When we went sailing on an emerald bay
And like a boat out on the ocean
I'm rocking you to sleep
The water's dark and deep
Inside this ancient heart
You'll always be a part of me

Lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu
lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu

Goodnight, my angel
Now it's time to dream
And dream how wonderful your life will be
Someday your child may cry
And if you sing this lullabye
Then in your heart
There will always be a part of me

Someday we'll all be gone
But lullabyes go on and on...
They never die
That's how you
And I
Will be

Ring of Fire, Cash.

When she said choice is yours. Does that mean song or actual dance?

We will be doing a crash course next week . . . so no tangos.

Depends if you bring a tambourine or not

although you annoy me, i am going to give you a serious response... personally i would do 2 songs.. one of your choosing that relates to how you feel about your daughter or memories with her, or whatever... and she does the same.. and they play the two songs back to back (provided you can stand up that long without having to retire to your rascal scooter)....

She meant the song, we will figure out the dance after the aforementioned "crash course."

As far as she in concerned (her words), we can do Born To Be Wild for the song while slow dancing.

I am leaning towards Going to California as it is a favorite of the two of us.

Lessons included...



ADG

bump for some help

Actually, dj's were picked by whether or not they had that song available. If they did, they were dismissed.

some ideas for you

I can understand that logic...

Okay, here's a more updated dance, once again, with lessons included:



ADG

hmmm, Child of Mine . . . never heard Carole King do it, but it is the one song GNR did right.


oh, just read the lyrics, must be a different song.

I think not.

I would go with one of these two.

Tom Waits "Time."
https://youtube.com/watch?v=B0Owl_X-m8I

or
Louie Armstrong, "beautiful world"
https://youtube.com/watch?v=c5IIXeR5OUI

Louie's not bad

Congrats BD - what about
"You Are So Beautiful" Joe Cocker?

winter- Tori Amos ,bridge over troubled water

Okay, we're dialing it in - I think I just about have it...

This is guaranteed to be a crowd pleaser (a little something for everyone, yo'):



ADG

Ok funny answer.

Serious answer.

Fits everything lyrically, good to slow dance to. Emotes feelings from others watching. Many versions out there though I like the original.

no rickrolls either.

Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick and think of you
Turning in circles confusion is nothing new
Flashback to warm nights almost left behind
Suitcase of memories, time after

Sometimes you picture me, I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me, I can't hear what you have said
And you say go slow I've fallen behind
The second hand unwinds

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time

If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time
Time after time

After your picture fades and darkness has turned to gray
Watching through windows I'm wondering
If you're okay and you say go slow, I've fallen behind
The drum beats out of time

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time

If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time
Time after time

Mmm, time after time
Ooh, time after time
Time after time

wear a red tux to the wedding, dance to jingle bells...and instead of the guests giving the bride and groom gifts you pass gifts to the guests...or go with the hands choice of joe cocker...it's a good song pretty much sums up how you feel about your daughter and easy to dance to...all you gotta to is rock side to side and rotate:thumbsup

love is in the air

You are good, GoodGirl...

Your pick here, for the click impaired:



Prolly gonna need one of these on each table:

ADG

She knows me better than anyone here. Shows it over and over again.

Salt n Pepa - Push It

:D

How do you think I got the nickname? :winkwink:

Free bird, extended version. Make her pay.

Or uhh... The End by the doors.. That'd be a trip. ;)

I can also recommend anything from:

:angel Avg of 10-12 hours a day for 6 years according to my calendar, I would think I know a few things about you :wetkiss

When you put it that way, you have spent more time with me than either of my ex-wives. :1orglaugh

Hey, get a room already you two...

ADG

:eek7 Is this good or bad? Or both :evil-laug

Baddog, I just have a feeling 1 of these 2 would do.



Or



You love her and this song can be seen in many different beautiful ways.

Please don't tell me after all these years you are "Badgirl" :upsidedow

Metallica - So What ...

Great song btw, maybe not appropiate ^^

I was to a wedding a few weeks ago, and the bridal dance´s song was "Nothing Else Matters" by Metallica from their S&M album... actual worked quit well (well, most were pretty drunk :winkwink: )

Do the Soulja Boy dance

I would suggest that if it a song that both of you like, go for it.:upsidedow

Can never go wrong with that one.

Tamia Dance My Dreams (First Daughter soundtrack) - I really kinda find it very sweet...

Louis Armstrong all the way. It's the perfect song in my opinion. Won't be a dry eye in the house.

And if Louis Armstrong is too outdated for the wedding, there have been people who covered it recently like Eve Cassidy.
