Recessional Songs

Olokia

I thought I had figured out all the ceremony songs but it turns out that the recessional song (just after the ceremony finishes) has not quite been chosen yet.

I want Feeling Good by Muse (from 40 seconds in to miss the slow beginning)
OH wants Arrival of the Queen of Sheba

Other ideas were I Only want to be with you by Dusty Springfield

but worried it is a little old.

So we thought we would ask the parents which of the 3 they prefer.
OH's mum loves Queen of Sheba and doesn't like Feeling Good.
My mum likes Feeling Good but hates Queen of Sheba
Neither likes Dusty Springfield.

I hate classical music (my entrance song is a string version of Viva la Vida) but OH wants something classical sounding. We both want something really upbeat.

What are other people having?

Jackie Wilson - higher and higher. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1odvp-_bhk
No classic music for us either. Songs before I arrive - Peggy Lee http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ee_ItaYTGM and Les Paul with Mary Ford http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ee_ItaYTGM.

My arrival - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XF9mKXd80Z4

Signing the register - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YE4tnxdOAhw&feature=fvst and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAG8iD-XS44.

Have a listen - I swear if anyone cries I will throw them out...

I think we are having "married life" from 'Up'.

Stole the idea from someone else from here... it could be subject to change tho...!

We are having 'Married Life' from Up for when we sign the register Probably walking out to Hippolla by Sigor Ros but not completely decided on that. I am walking down the aisle to 'Music for a nurse' by Oceansize

I REALLY want 'Feeling Good' for ours as well, and I think OH agrees (we are still at very early planning stages yet - he hasn't actually popped the question yet as waiting for ring! )

I think the words are great as a recessional song. It also has a lot of significance for me and my OH as we got together at a Muse concert

My vote is definately for this one!!:D

Ours will either be Lady Gaga's Edge of Glory or Enya's My My Time Flies. Haven't decided but I'm leaning towards Lady Gaga. We always sing (yell) to the song when driving long distance and love it.

Thanks everyone

I think we have narrowed it down to 2.

Rule The World by Take That
or
Jesus of Suburbia by Vitamin String Quartet.

I think the first one may fit better with the wedding but OH and I both love Green Day and have seen them twice. With the strings it makes it sound a bit more like classical music as well....
