Group Singalongs

So I'm helping plan a wedding ceremony this summer and one idea floating around is to have all the assembled guests join in a musical moment, a ... group singalong. We think if it works it would be spectacular, but no one has volunteered the right song. Can ILM help?

We think if it can be made into a football chant, it could potentially work here. You know, Go West, You'll Never Walk Alone, For He's a Jolly Good Fellow, a dozen Beatles songs...

Other suggestions so far have included "This Is Where I Belong" by the Kinks or "Music Is Love" by David Crosby.

Just remember it has to be appropriate to two people getting married with their family & friends.

"This Time We'll Get It Right" - England World Cup Squad '82.

"Tonight I celebrate my love for you" works surprisingly well. And you can sing the title again and again over all the lyrics that aren't it.

Cheers. Not necessarily afraid of unknown songs. it's a small enough group that they can be educated.

Btw. "My Oh My" fits perfectly in a wedding:

I believe in woman, my oh my
I believe in lovin', my oh my
Don't a woman need a man
Try and catch one if you can
I believe in woman, my oh my

/ C F C - / Em Am G - / F C / Dm FG / C F C G /

We all need someone to talk to, my oh my
We all need someone to talk to, my oh my
You need a shoulder to cry on
Call me I'll be standing by
We all need someone to talk to, my oh my

We all need a lotta lovin', my oh my
Yeah, a whole lotta lovin', my oh my
I can lend a helping hand
If you ain't got nothing planned
We all need some lovin', my oh my

So let's all swing together, my oh my
We can all swing together, my oh my
You've got troubles of your own
No need to face them all alone
We can all swing together, my oh my

So let's all pull together, my oh my
Yeah let's all pull together, my oh my
We can ride the stormy weather
If we all get out and try
So let's all pull together, my oh my
Yeah let's all pull together, my oh my

Slade would be awesome. Thanks.

Though when I first read the lyrics I thought it was some sort of Negro Spiritual or something.
