Mom/son wedding dance song? - Page 2

I always recommend going with something mom likes--I was at a wedding where the mom and son danced to Kenny Rogers' Through the Years because she was a huge Kenny Rogers fan.

My FI and his mom are dancing to "In My Life" by the Beatles. He asked his mom what she wanted and she just picked silly songs like, "The Lion Sleeps Tonight." Google mother son wedding songs. I found a few sites that had pages of songs with links to them so you could actually hear them.

Aw that song reminds me of my grandparents 50th anniversary!

If you're Italian and your mother is Italian, you pretty much have no choice. Le Mamme by Toto Cutogno. If you know the language, it's a really pretty song. I'm pretty sure it's all about what mothers do for you and all that.

Back in the day, the common one was Three Times a Lady by Lionel Ritchie.

OTW I just clicked on that song and now I'm sobbing into my coffee. He's my firstborn and only son so I know I'm going to be a weepy mess out on the dance floor. That is a gorgeous song.

I think my fiance is using Celine Dion's "Because you loved me."

That was DH's and my exit song at our reception.

We didn't have a mother/son dance. My father (who disapproved of the marriage) refused to do any of the traditional father-of-the-bride things, including a father/daughter dance. When my MIL heard this, she ASSumed there would be no mother/son dance either, so she threw a tantrum. I'm talking complete toddler meltdown here. We would have done a mother/son dance, maybe with a FIL/DIL dance (FIL can dance!), but not after that meltdown.

I did dance with my mother at the reception... just a random number during one of the band's sets. I led.

My husband and his mom picked Unforgettable.

It's a bit sappy, yes. But aren't most mother/son dances?

Go for it if you like it!

I have no idea what the boy is going to pick for his mother/son dance. I asked and he didn't seem to be concerned about it.

Should my brother ever get married, I'm callin' it right now...he and my mom will be dancing to either "In My Life" by The Beatles or "Beautiful Boy" by John Lennon.

actually, "Tears In Heaven" probably is worse, considering the circumstances which inspired its creation.

It's considerably worse. Markedly worse. Hilariously worse. (also one of the worst strip club songs ever, too)

Holy shit, are we no longer teaching sarcasm in school? Everyone, punch yourself in a reproductive organ. Jesus.

I thought a law had been passed that strippers could only strip to that Buckcherry crazy bitch song. Unless the town is one in which over 50% of the guys still wear their letter jackets after graduating high school, then Motley Crue or Metallica is fine.

***waiting for Michael Stipe to pop into this thread and complain about people who have "The One I Love" as "their song."

I have that beat handily.

A buddy in high school had a song with his main squeeze . . . being both Pearl Jam fans and people who don't actually listen to lyrics (I'm sure you see where this is going), they had "Better Man" as their song. Apparently "Closer" by NIN was unavailable. Unreal.

We still fuck with him about it.

I went to college with a set of Catholic triplets who sang in their high school choir and fancied themselves as great singers. So they'd walk around singing pop and rock songs, only they'd sing them really choir-like...it was funny. Well, one day we're all hanging out and one of them starts to sing Allanis Morrisette's "You Oughta Know" and another one joins in. Well, it gets to the part about things-she'd-do-in-a-theatre and they sing it like it's the most beautiful sentiment in the world. We started to laugh and we asked them if they even knew what they were singing, since we suspected they didn't (they were VERY sheltered and naive). Well, of course they didn't, and they were horrified to find out that for several years they had been singing about...well, you know.

That's fantastic - nothing like a song about abusive relationships to get the mood going.
