what are you doing with your weekend?
I'm going to be an usher at the first wedding that I can remember being to, and then being required to join the band for the evening to impersonate Gruff Rhys and sing Super Furry Animals' 'Fire In My Heart' for the first dance at the request of my friend and his soon-to-be-Mrs.
I'm terrified. I'm sure protocol require me to remain operational sobriety, which I'm not at all happy about. Also from the last 3 weekends of stag doing, my voice is a bit shot in the falsetto area.
Anyone ever had to do something similiarly fraught with ruin-the-best-day-of-our-lives potential?
also
I don't really know what an usher does.
you just stand at the church door
and tell people where to sit
ok. and if I don't know who the majority of them are?
"Bride or Groom?" yes? This is going to be faux pas riffic.
there might be a seating plan for important people
so you just tell them where to go. Everyone else, you just tell them what side to sit on
Although the whole 'Bride or Groom' concept confuses me
surely if they are getting married it's a union of two people? So does it really matter which side you're on? I mean isn't that already suggesting there will be a divide in the marriage?
i'll just say
"whose side are you on?" instead. ta.
:)
like a floral and hats version of Westside story.
with more dancing
much more
As long as you have your special drum with you
you could announce each guest like they did in the old days.
bad R&B
I was going to turn up with a plaster on my cheek
and then realised that was Nelly :(
*amazing
You have to remind of a girl, that he once knew
see her face whenever he, looks at her.
Either that or jump out and surprise guests by shouting
"My BOOO!"
well, I thought it was funny.
:D
And doing some killer Usher moves?
HAHAHA
is your wedding present to the happy couple the gift of TOTAL EMBARRASSMENT on your part?
^ I shouldn't
but LOL
:D
maybe
but you'd have thought on a special occasion they'd want something special, not that which i give out for free daily.
yeah but this time they get to see you do it in a suit
considering I only wear suits for interviews
I'd say that i've embarrassed myself everytime I've work them
you are maintaining consistently high levels of humiliation
whenever and wherever you are! :)
thats what I'm here for
Maybe Adam's trousers could fall down at the end of the song to complete it.
this is amazing!
are you particularly known for your talent at singing SFA songs in public?
also
are you going to do the Welsh accent?!
i can only assume
that my insistence in singing SFA songs with a bad welsh accent is the reason I was asked. I've not been asked to curb it!
its a thrifty idea i think.
as at most weddings the happy couple have to spend a load of money on booze to get people to have a laugh. you can provide this for free!
all ive got to say is: PICS, YOUTUBE
BY CHRIST
in this modern age, what with mobile telephones and text paging and what not, there's a very high chance I'm going to get my ass filmed isn't there? Oh dear oh dear.
It'll be like One Night In Paris all over again
Without the terrible night vision scene
nightvision
is also a song by Super Furry Animals.
:)
Something about Paris Hilton's super furry animal in green
Yeah., he's going to follow up with a set of Stereophonics and Catatonia covers
EVERY DAY
WHEN I WAKE UP
etc
Traffic and Road Rage
would work well together.
More Life In A Tramps Vest and Game On
and I'll do it.
Local Boy In The Photograph and Strange Glue
final offer.
Mulder & Scully followed by Mr Writer
Dead From The Waist Down & Handbags and Gladrags
ok?
You two both need to check the meaning of the words
'final offer'.
you need to check the meaning of the words
'set of'
Fair point.
this sounds bad, wouldn't just playing the record/cd version be easier and less humiliating all roun
you see
part of me thinks this is going to be a car crash. or that i'm not going to be able to keep a straight face.
while part of me thinks "you've wanted to do a furries cover for all the 6 years you've been 'singing' on stage, lap it up fuzzball". If my voice works, it might be ok....
gah. damn my ego convincing my brain that this could go any other way but disaster.
you shoudl end your little show
with a real downer of a song. like 'yesterday...all my troubles seemed so faaar awayyy...'
*should
again
i'm singing one song, a very brief one at that, then pissing off and making up for my day-long abstinance.
BOO
i dont care what your allocated number of songs is, just freestyle
you just want me to fail
no i want to see big LOLs
via facebook/youtube
at my expense!
curse you
CASSIUS ITS OVER
something about Grooms
This is what I am imaginig:

synopsis please
I can't see that at work
Oh...
The Wedding singer,
'Love stinks' part.
ah, i see
please don't compare me to Adam Sandler again.
Many thanks.
The comparison was the scene
not the actor
THIS IS NOTHING
I was asked to sing A SOLO in the church during my sister's wedding. The song she asked me to sing was YOUR SONG by ELTON JOHN. There were appoximately 350 PEOPLE THERE.
I capitalised the important parts of this story, soft lad.
did you do it?
how did it go?
I did it and it went well...
I was originally contemplating bottling it and saying i couldn't do it, but the feeling afterwards, having done something which obviously meant so much to my sis (she cried...in a good way...i think), made it all worth it. Just try and enjoy it, cos once you've done it, you'll want to do it again.
i;ve got a gig the next night
i'll force everyone to dress up like they're at a wedding if I see fit :)
Maybe do it in a rap stylee?
Whilst drumming along on the Rock Band drum kit?
I've decided I may ask Santa
for Guitar Hero 4 this year. It has drums, which look less plasticy!
