Your thoughts on 'entrance' music

Hello. I need your help please. My friend is getting married and she needs a fun song to come onto the dancefloor to. She was thinking along the lines of James Brown etc. it basically needs to allow for a real entrance, so needs to start with a bang. Any ideas? I have racked my brains and I'm now stuck.

          you think you can tell us what to do?

          you think you can tell us what to wear?

          you think that you're better?

          well you better get ready

  • I'M AN ASS MAN

    • the locust

  • Scatman -

    Scatman's World

    • 'also sprach zarathustra' from 2001: A Space Odyssey

      this will work best if the bride is in a large, square, black dress.

      • How convenient

        although I think her dress is more parallelogram-like, would it still work?

        • possibly

          ...but make sure the bridesmaids are NOT in similar dresses, or you might end up with a domino scenario.

  • Baby Got Back

    Just cut out the spoken word intro, then you'll be off with a bang!

  • Apache Indian - Boom Shack-A-Lak

    I really love this song in a non-ironic way.

  • how does that work?

    is she going to be hiding somewhere until the music comes on?

    • yes

      behind the curtains. She wanted a hide-and-seek theme for her special day.

      No - she'll be sitting at her table and then she'll get up. But they're doing this elaborate thing where the dancing area is revealed only after the meal.

      • strange

        I can't imagine the walk to the dancefloor is that long. Seems a bit pointless

        • It's a bride and it's a wedding

          logic/reasoning and point tend to go out of the window.

    • I'd personally go for a bit of Hot Chip

      Laid back
      Laid back
      Laid back, we'll give you laid back
      Laid back
      Laid back
      Laid back, I'll give you laid back

  • Love n marriage - Sinatra innit

    or... I Went To A Wedding - HALF MAN HALF BISCUIT

  • The Yardbirds - For Your Love

    Frank Willson - Do I love you (Indeed I Do)..... that would beperfect I reckon

    • a first dance song?

      I had Marlena Shaw 'California Soul' at mine. Good explosive soulful start to that one.
      Never heard of a dancefloor entrance song at a wedding though. Always a first......

    • Frank Willson

      never listened before - but it's a good one, thanks!

  • is this the first dance?

    when i get married i want mine to be The Beatles - Here, There and Everywhere

    starts with a bang...hmmmmm

    Curtis Mayfield - Move on Up.

    c'mon. that is perfect.

  • i was hoping this was a wrestling thread

    aw :(

    • well don't let that stop you

      it didn't stop twee_loser did it?

    • to be fair

      it should be!

      • it should be

        the theme for 20th Century Fox or the Doo-Doo 'bit' at the end of Sympathy For The Devil by The Rolling Stones.

      • someone should start a thread

        I'd totally post in it.

  • The beginning of 'Black Or White' by Michael Jackson

  • I think your friend was on to something with Rev. Brown

    I feel good

    Or Blondie's "Rapture"

    Lipp's Inc. "Funky Town"

    google: dance cattle calls

    "Run Around Sue" Is great for loading dance floors

  • everyone that posted a wrestling song

  • Kane!

    Lights go out, organ plays... massive bout of an Inferno Blast whilst she strides out to a red lit reception... Starts with a Bang and will get the punters attention.

    • Now come on

      would you like it if your bride came out to meet the 'punters' waiting in Amsterdam-style red lit area to a wrestling song? Hmm? Well?

  • Real American

    I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man,
    I am a real American, fight for what's right, fight for your life!

    When it comes crashing down, and it hurts inside,
    ya' gotta take a stand, it don't help to hide,
    Well, you hurt my friends, and you hurt my pride,
    I gotta be a man; I can't let it slide,
    I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man,
    I am a real American, fight for what's right, fight for your life!

    I feel strong about right and wrong,
    And I don't take trouble for very long,
    I got something deep inside of me, and courage is the thing that keeps us free,
    I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man,
    I am a real American, fight for what's right, fight for your life!

    Well you hurt my friends, and you hurt my pride,
    I gotta be a man; I can't let it slide,
    I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man,
    I am a real American, fight for what's right, fight for your life!
    I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man,
    I am a real American, fight for what's right, fight for your life!

  • Best entrance music ever:

  • a friend of a friend

    walked down the aisle to 'Lets Get It On' and then back up it to 'Lets Stay Together'. Think thats the right way round. Nice idea though.

  • Minor Threat - Out Of Step

  • a chef I used to work with

    had planned Razorlight - Somewhere Else as the first song as he thought it would be funny. Unsurprisingly She left him 2 weeks before they were due to be married!

    • :D

      This is exactly what I was thinking of earlier!

  • 1000 hurts by Shellac

    Just, you know, in case...

  • KLF - Acid Brass

    Seriously, I want that played whenever I enter a room.

  • http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=EPhdT1g4WrM

    Right To Censor.

  • I'd go for funky 70s

    T-Rex Bang A Gong, Hot Love, Jewel

    or some Stones tune. If she has brown skin, brown sugar! Or Carol King.

    Or 80s glitz. Like ABC look of love. Or Lisa Stansfield Been Around the World can't find my baby!!!

    Not new indie though. Gotta think about the old folks, eh. The song has to vaguely register in everyone's mind as having at least heard before.

  • "Love Will Destroy Us in the End" by Hefner

  • IM THE MOUNTIE

  • "Too Drunk To Fuck"

    by the Dead Kennedys. Also perfect for the sex music CD for in the bridal suite.
