Chromeo. Two men- one has a vocoder, the other one thinks he's Prince. What's not to love?
We used this song as our recessional:
But this is the one that's "our song". The lyrics say it all:
You're so g-g-g-g-g-gangsta
You're so g-g-g-g-g-gangsta
Gangsta
You're so gangsta
(TOTALLY MEGA SAXOPHONE SOLO)
You're so g-g-g-g-gangsta
You're so g-g-g-g-gangsta
Gangsta
You're so gangsta
etc.
Bear with me.
There are many ingredients to a great relationship - trust, love, patience, the ability to pick up your partner's discarded snot-rags off the sofa without wanting to murder them. However, I really believe the key to a successful marriage is a mutual appreciation of awesomeness, and that is what this song is all about. I'm cool, you're cool, we're cool. Obviously Sam and I aren't cool to anybody apart from ourselves, and this is the best bit of all. Because every now and again (when we realise we've spent the last three weeks relentlessly practising the Troy and Abed rap from Community* as if this is normal husband/wife leisure time behaviour) it hits me that we're still on our own little planet, away from the rest of the world. Being silly. Being awesome.
I hope Sam and I are still singing "you're so gangsta" to each other when we're 75.
Super-duper special First Dance Friday next week..... stay tuned....
*I'm Troy, he's Abed. OBVIOUSLY.
we played 'is your sister in love' at our wedding... as my two sisters were my bridesmaids. And that singing to each other thing when you're 75, is so bang on - we say that we'll be listening to Arab Strap together with one earphone each in a corner of a retirement home. We're not as awesome as you guys who'll actually be singing. x
ReplyDeleteOh no! I got my meaningful songs to us at our wedding mixed up because I was so excited about Chromeo this morning! We played needy girl (because for ages I thought it was 'indie girl' and that's quite funny) and the envelopes is your sister in love. That's what you get for trying too hard to impress ;)
