Need a cheesy song August 01, 2007 at 06:44 PM UTC #
so i'm doing a sarcastic "walk down memory lane" slide show for a friend's wedding and i'm trying to come up with the best absurdly cheesy song to use as a backing track

i'm thinking "in your eyes" or MJ's "you are not alone", or some power ballad

thoughts?

mr. big - "to be with you"

actually, "glory of love" would be good too. or from the same soundtrack:

joe esposito - "you're the best around"

Somebody say cheesey?

I used to use Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" but it has since been co-opted by the Sopranos.

Depending on how old the person is, The Culture Club always gets a good laugh, anything by a Boy Band (NKOTB and 'N Sync bring the house down), and the aforementioned long hair power ballad from the late 80's early 90's.

I haven't actually heard this one, but I still offer it up for your consideration:

Plain White T's "Hey There, Delilah"

maybe not as effective due to it's inclusion in Good Will Hunting:

gerry rafferty - "baker street"

and that chuck mangione song (his famous instrumental)

christopher cross - "sailin'"

tay zonday - "chocolate rain"

"Ever Fallen in Love? (With Someone You Shouldn't've)" by the Buzzcocks. Put it with your wedding slide show. Trust me. It'll work.
