WHO DAT IS

IT'S JUST MY BABY DADDY

4/8/2006 4:37:20 PM

if it's so important to him maybe he has a song in mind

4/8/2006 4:44:39 PM

Now there's an idea.

4/8/2006 4:46:57 PM

my dad and i danced to louis armstrong's "what a wonderful world"

4/8/2006 4:51:45 PM

You've got a friend, by Carol King.

That, in my book, is me and my dad's song.
Although come to think of it the version I'm familiar with has a male singer, maybe it was James Taylor who sang the version I like?

more modern, perhaps Anabella's Song by Everclear?

Butterfly Kisses is always a popular choice

4/8/2006 5:02:44 PM

Over the Rainbow by Band of Oz... or You Are So Beautiful by Joe Cocker

4/8/2006 5:03:13 PM

^^

Yeah, I always hear that one at most weddings.

4/8/2006 5:06:54 PM

unforgettable, nat king cole and natalie cole

that's gonna be mine

4/8/2006 5:21:31 PM

This is a good question, cause I'm tired of hearing Butterfly Kisses.

4/8/2006 5:49:56 PM

Marrying your father is fucked up.

4/8/2006 6:42:10 PM

i second the unforgettable suggestion

4/8/2006 7:02:16 PM

In my Daughter's Eyes - Martina McBride

Wind beneath my wings.... ummm.... all the others I can think of are even more overused than the ones here......

4/8/2006 7:25:49 PM

What a Wonderful World and Unforgettable are both good suggestions.

4/8/2006 8:18:19 PM

anything but "cats in the cradle"

cause thats what you play when you've had a shitty father

4/8/2006 8:24:30 PM

^That's what I'll play.

4/8/2006 8:45:43 PM

When I marry MY father, I'll play "Styrofoam Plates".

Only if your father is a woman.

4/9/2006 10:14:03 AM

if i was a chick on tww

one of my first threads would be about getting married or my marriage

that way it would cut down on the "WANT SOME DICK" pms in my inbox

4/9/2006 11:31:05 AM

haha, father of mine by everclear. haha, nice suggestion but probably not the message she is trying to send. that is funny

We are still debating between an MC or doing it ourselves. This has been a fun place to get an idea for wedding songs in general.

judging by your name

he probably wanted a boy

so i would say this isnt QUITE as important to him as you may think

4/9/2006 3:16:22 PM

^hahah

very true.

4/9/2006 3:20:21 PM

it is unique. they didn't want a boy. they did think i was going to be a boy, instead i was the first girl (on my father's side) in like 5 generations. I like my name. thanks to all of those with helpful advise.

4/9/2006 8:10:46 PM

My Special Angel is good

also Somewhere In The World.. but that is more for a dance between the groom's father and the bride

4/9/2006 8:16:47 PM

sublime -wrong way

i can't imagine what song i'll dance to my dad with.


ill prolly start crying.

4/10/2006 12:27:05 AM

I just heard "My Little Girl" by Tim McGraw... it's got a little bit of a country twang to it but it's still nice

4/10/2006 12:31:20 AM

Daddy's Hands is a beautiful song, thats gonna be mine

4/10/2006 1:45:53 AM

all i have to say is that i could never have butterfly kisses as my father/daughter song... it was a favorite song b/w my close friend and her father, and we she passed away last oct, they played it at her funeral. so yeah, when/if i ever hear that song, she's all I think about.

okay, that's the end of my depressing interruption of this thread.

4/10/2006 2:07:22 AM

^^ The title alone sounds creepy.

4/10/2006 8:25:13 AM

I'M GONNA GO OUT ON A LIMB AND SAY "DANCE WITH MY FATHER"



(of course that one works better if he is dead)

4/10/2006 1:32:05 PM

Butterfly Kisses
Dancing on Daddy's Shoes

a bunch of good ones have already been posted

4/10/2006 2:14:30 PM

i hope they come out with some less lame songs before i get married

music has been a big part of my life thanks to my dad so i will probably choose a song by one of the bands i listened to growing up, or one of the songs i remember him playing me on his guitar when i was little

i don't know if you have any favorite bands that your dad introduced you to, but maybe a song by one of them would be nice.

good luck finding a song!

4/10/2006 2:24:57 PM

i do...but i can't imagine dancing to the grateful dead on my wedding day

4/10/2006 2:27:48 PM

TRUCKIN'
GOT MY CHIPS CASHED IN

4/10/2006 2:35:41 PM

there hasn't been a band my dad has introduced me to, but my mom introduced me to bob marley in the 5th grade and i am already using his music in the wedding.
