Song suggestions for the garter removal and toss at my wedding? (1 Viewer)

[Howie A]

Hey, I am getting married in April and my fiancée and I just met with our DJ.
He wants me to pick a song for the garter removal and toss at my reception and
after looking at some of the suggested song titles, I thought I could use some help.
Please don't say Legs-zz top, or Mission Impossible, while I am sure these are cool
for that sort of thing I am looking for something a bit more original please.
Thank you

Patricia The Stripper by Chris De Burgh

 

[Angelo.M]

"Movin' on Up," aka "Theme from the Jeffersons".

Saw this done at a wedding once; hilarious.

 

[Danny Tse]

Congrats Howie

Strip - Adam Ant

 

[James Pfann]

Congrats!

"you can leave your hat on" - Joe Cocker.

A quick aside. If the families are easy going, try hiding a really racy thong/g-string in your sleeve to pull out and wave around instead of the garter.

I'll have to think it over for a couple of days to come up with a recommendation. But I can tell you one thing for sure: Do not pick "Fat Bottom Girls" by Queen or the marraige will be over before it begins!

 

[Howie A]

Hey guys, thanks alot for all the suggestions so far.
I am going to have to listen to the ones you all
think might be good. I just wanted to add that I am willing
to try something out of the ordinary also.
It can be new, old or even funny.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Oh and Ken, I must say that has to be one of the best tips I got so far.

Thanks again.

"Ball And Chain"

"I Sit on Acid" by Lords of Acid.

I'd suggest some burlesque-type stripping music. I can't be specific with titles or artists, though...

In the early 60s there was an instrumental song called The Stripper by David Rose. It would be a very funny song to use. I'm not sure you can find a copy of this song, since it is 40 years old.

 

[Eric Peterson]

The song in question can be found on the following CD that has quite a bit of classical burlesque music.

If I think of any other good songs, I'll be sure to post them. I like the idea of "The Jeffersons" theme

 

[Luis Esp]

How about "Hey Big Spender" or "Cell Block Tango" from the Chicago soundtrack.

Or you could always go with "I Like Big Butts" (don't know the name of the song)

 

[Mark Pfeiffer]

Luis, that would be "Baby Got Back" by Sir Mixalot. Or you could always go with "Put 'em on the Glass" too, I suppose.

I'm so ashamed for knowing this...

 

[Ted Lee]

i've always felt that "fever" by peggy lee (?) fits that type of atmosphere. it's classy, but still seductive.

"so alive" by love and rockets would be another song with a similar vibe...

As someone who bartended for weddings for 3 years, I appreciate your attempt at originality. Of course over 3 years, anything would get old, but that "stripper" song or similar burlesque-type music just seems to so old and unoriginal to me. Too bad I didn't always pay attention to things like this, and can't remember anything specific I saw done that I liked. Oh wait...
I saw this done once, but with a pair of old lady white granny-panties. Hilarious!

It's your day, Howie, no reason you have to do things done like you've seen them done before. Make it special, unique.

Edit...just thought of something...at one wedding I did, the bride and groom got married as the result of an unplanned pregnancy. this was a fairly well-known act to guests, as was explained to me later. So for the Father-daughter dance, the DJ played, unbeknownst to the bride (and I don't know the name or artist) the slow ballad that begins "Call me...irresponsible..." Hey, at least the family had a sense of humor about it.

"Wicked Pussycat" - Danzig

 

[Carlo_M]

You could go with the ever-classic "Wild Thing"

 

[MickeS]

"Light my fire" - The Doors. Got that nice little cheerful organ solo too.

"Foxy lady" - Jimi Hendrix
