I know I just posted another message on this board, but I had a totally different question, so I thought I'd give it it's own post
So FI and I thought of a couple of songs that we thought would be really fun/funny for our bouquet and garter toss songs and we wanted some feedback, but if we use these songs, FI really wants them to be a funny kind of "surprise" at the wedding, so he doesn't want to ask anyone that's coming to the wedding what they think. So, he asked me if I could go ask "the message board people" hehe.
For the bouquet toss, we were thinking "Girls" by The Beastie Boys. We went all through high school listening to this song, and although I know the lyrics can be a little degrading, most of the girls in my circle think it's a funny song. But I told FI if we use it, we'd need to find a song that was on an equal level for the guys for the garter toss, or "Girls" would just come across as really degrading rather than the "funny" we are going for. So he suggested "It's Raining Men" by The Weather Girls. We were both cracking up when we thought of this, and I think everyone at our wedding would get a good laugh, too, but we were just wondering if there is some element we're not thinking of, or if it's really just not as funny as we're envisioning.
If anyone has other suggestions for the songs, the vibe we're going for is unique and fun - we're just tired of hearing "Single Ladies" after hearing it for every bouquet toss we've seen for the past three years!
