Karaoke and the Song List

Ok, here’s the deal. The boss said we can have Karaoke at the wedding reception. Now, before you touch your fingertips together and slowly say “excellent”, there are some ground rules. Because lets face it, there’s a fine line between having Karaoke at your wedding reception and having a “Karaoke wedding reception”. If we don't adhere to the guidelines, our reception will consist of 5 straight hours of ex-sorority girls singing “I Will Survive” intermingled with Richie singing the f-bomb version of “Total Eclipse of the Heart”. 

Now that just can’t happen. Not on Greg's watch.

Sensi Murphy says here are some guidelines:

1. You have to call dibs. To prevent dunk Gabe fighting with drunk Richie for the right to sing “Let Her Cry” by Hootie and the Blowfish, requests to sing can be made before the wedding date. It will also make it easier for our DJ. To call dibs, type your name and song in the comments section or email me or Carrie. First come, first serve. So if you wait till Sept 26th to tell the DJ your tune, most likely he’ll say, “I’m sorry, but “It’s Raining Men’ by the Weathergirls is reserved for Justin Arthur”. But don’t worry; towards the tail end of the night we will open up the singing to everyone who didn’t make a request.
2. Karaoke must be sandwiched between at least three non-karaoke songs.   Otherwise, our first dance will be to Steve rapping “Freaks of the Industry”.
3. What the DJ says, goes. Please don’t fight with him. He has our deposit.
4. Unfortunately, we need to limit the slow songs. We want people to dance while you sing, not make out.

Also, we want your input for the DJ's song list,  so if you want to get down to the “Cha Cha Slide” speak now or forever hold your peace. Again, please use the comments section for your requests. Thanks!
