in the key of cheese

chris and i have spoken of singing songs to each other at our wedding reception. actually, we've spoken of making the reception itself "feature" karaoke for those members of our family who might want to belt out a little bad company or some "build me up, buttercup." we've already decided on what songs we would sing to each other. chris' tribute to me would be the loving spoonful's "darling, be home soon." perhaps i should be insulted, because one of the reasons this song makes him think of me is the following line:

Go
And beat your crazy head against the sky.

that's sweet. the song i would sing for the cheese would be deniece williams' "let's hear it for the boy." i never thought a song from "footloose" could become so meaningful. this song is perfect for the cheese. maybe he's not a flashy guy, right, but we always have a real good time. mm hmm.

i wish the part about my baby singing off key were true, but i'm the only one who sings off key these days. so i may have to alter the lyrics ever so slightly. as far as first-dance-bride-and-groom wedding songs go, we're leaning towards "have i told you lately" by van morrison. either that or the theme to "mighty mouse."
