Hey all you FReepers. My son is getting married in January of 2010. I would like some suggestions about a mother/son dance besides Boy of Mine/Bing Crosby.
Just so we have a little insight for your thought process. My son is a product of my first marriage (shotgun wedding that lasted a couple years). My current husband and I have been married almost 19 years now, and is the man that raised him since he was 3. We are a very close family. We are devout practicing Catholics. I am looking for some song that will speak to strong family values, and love between a mother and a son. I am hoping some of you old timers or hard core country lovers might have a few names of songs/artists I can start looking into.
For one instance, the song "There Goes My Life" would be great if it was about a Mother/Son, instead of a Father/Daughter.
If any of you know Kenny, and he would be willing to record a special version for me........ :) ( a girl can dream, can't she)
Anyhow, any and all suggestions would be appreciated, just please list song title/artist/ and album so I can find it! Thanks for all your help!
Two words.
Funky Town.
Can I have This Dance - Anne Murray and I’ll Be Seeing You - Billie Holiday.. two of my favorites.
“The man you’ve become”—I’ve never heard that song, but I’m the mother of a 13 year-old boy and those lyrics brought tears to my eyes. :) Beautiful.
Hmm. I was going say “Baby Got Back” but everyone else’s suggestions are better...
Wind beneath my wings - Bette Midler
Less seriously, “Mama’s got a squeeze box” by the Who! ;-P
that’s just plain funny!
How about something that doesn’t have a “message?” Why can’t it just be something you can dance to and look good doing so?
I am deeply disturbed by that song suggestion and I am laughing hysterically at it.
“Through the Years” by Kenny Rogers might be a perfect country song for a mother/son dance at a wedding.
Actually, you shouldn’t be disturbed... DADDY never sleeps at night (not sonny)!
Ah, yes. Theodore Nugent.
LOL!
Ha haaaa... That was the first song that ran through my mind, too... but you had the guts to post it first.
Mamas, Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Cowboys!!!!!
I have a son who just who just dodged the marriage bullet - good, they were too young - and , though I’m VERY conservative, I like “heavy metal” and “progressive rock” so I was thinking of having them play - ok, it’s “southern rock” but still very rock - “Simple Man” by Lynrd Skynrd. Maybe a little too much for some of you - no, I don’t live in a trailer - but it brings tears to my eyes everytime - “...and just remember there is someone up above...”. Cheers...
Rascal Flatts, My Wish. it’s exactly what you’re looking for.
