When Iโm not working my day job as attorney and writing my books, you can always
find me performing lead vocals for a band. Yep- for a fee and a meal of rubber
reception chicken, you can have us entertain you and your guests at the best day
of your life. And writing
PLAYING WITH THE DRUMMER
(about a celebrity wedding) got me thinking about all of the weddings Iโve
done over the years.
We get lots of special requests and we bend over backwards to accommodate the
couple but there have been some weird ones that live on in my memory. Here are
the top five:
5.
All My Exes Live in Texas by George Strait: The father of the
bride was a huge fan of the King of Country but I think I could have picked any
of his dozens of number one love songs before this one.
4.
Gold Digger by Kanye West: Not my favorite by any stretch of
the imagination and really weird to sing when you watch the realization of what
they lyrics are about dawn on the faces of the older guests โeven though we
change some of the words to ones less offensive. Baby Daddyโs are not the best
topic for the wedding day...just sayinโ.
3.
My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion: Now, this sounds like a
soaring love song that will declare their undying love...but dying is the point
here because this song was written to the dead boyfriend (poor Jack-there was
room on that piece of wood and you won't convince me otherwise...but I digress).
Death and wedding receptions are not the best combination.
2.
Love Stinks by J. Geils Band: The couple was young and
apparently huge fans of
The Wedding Singer movie and thought this would
be h-i-l-a-r-i-o-u-s. They loved it but the parental units were less than
thrilled when it was played and letโs face it folks...they are the ones that
decide how much the tip is for us. But, in the end, seeing the bride singing
this into an โair micโ in her Vera Wang gown was worth a chuckle.
1.
I Touch Myself by the Divynls: Do I even need to state why
this is a bad choice? Just picture your drunk friends interpretive dancing to
this song in front of Grandma or your Dad . Nope. Nope. Nope.
So, thatโs my shortlist โ what would you add?
About the Book
Entertainment journalist Lita Matthews is on the verge of making it big. As in
her-own-TV-show big. She just needs amazing inside scoop on the yearโs hottest
celebrity wedding. Instead, her big break is becoming a big nightmareโall thanks
to rock star Rocky Cardano. Who apparently hasnโt gotten over what happened
between them four years agoโฆ
Rocky is pretty damn familiar with just how far Lita will go for a โscoop.โ
Hell, their unbelievably hot hook-up in Mexico years ago was the story of a
lifetime. Rockyโs learned his lessons. Heโll do whatever it takes to keep her
from the storyโeven if he has to seduce her to the point of distraction! But
Lita has always had a way of getting under his skin. Only this time, he wonโt be
able to just walk awayโฆ
