Non-traditional/unique first dance and walking down the aisle songs?

I was thinking of something non-traditional and unique for both our first dance as well as the music that will be used when walking down the aisle. Any ideas?

    Not sure what you consider unique... I'm using "Little Martha" by the Allman Brothers for the WP processional, "I Want You" by Tom Waits for my processional, and "Losing You" by John Butler Trio for the first dance.

    It's hard to give a suggestion without knowing what kind of music you like. What kinds of stuff do you listen to normally?

    I'm having a catholic wedding so I'm doing traditional processional and recessional songs (Canon in D and Wedding March) but I'm narrowing my First Dance song to some pretty nontraditional songs. Either Reasons to Love You by Meiko (my choice) or The Most Beautiful Girl in the Room by Flight of the Conchords (FI's choice). His is super sarcastic and hilarious, which is kind of our style, but I like the slow feel of my choice. I have no idea what you're looking for, but just browse your current music that you have at home, you might find one you like.

    I was looking for something non-traditional too and something that fit both mine and my fiance's style. I finally found "Up and Away" by Dave Matthew Band. I'm not sure if it's what you would consider non-traditional but it's nowhere near any "top 100 first dance songs" list which I love about it and the lyrics are awesome.

    I really wanted to walk down the aisle to "morning has broken" by Cat Stevens, but ... we're getting married in the afternoon, and I thought that might be weird.

    To PP- My ceremony is in the evening, and I'm walking down the aisle to Morning Has Broken.  The main reason for me is because my mother walked to this song.  I never even considered the time of day.

    I REALLY love the Dave Matthews Band, Up and Away song for a first dance song! :)
