AIBU to think this is not a “horrible” wedding song?

For clarification: it’s a song from one of my favourite childhood films: Labyrinth. It was also sung originally by David Bowie. I thought of maybe having this as the main dance and the (few) people so far I suggested this to (not including my DH because he doesn’t know) laughed when I showed it to them and said it was a fairy dance. I don’t want people on here to sugarcoat anything , so can please listen to the song and tell me if you think it’s stupid too and you agree? It’s a gay marriage, not that should make difference, but it might influence it so I thought I’d say beforehand and wanted opinions of potential guests if they heard this at a wedding if they were invited. I really like it. I know I should think it’s about what I like and what he likes, but I’m also wanting it to be about what other people like and I don’t want to make a fool of myself if it’s not a typical possibly first dance at a wedding song?

Who else has had amazingly untraditional music? I'd love to know!

I know a couple who had Cannibal Queen by Miniature Tigers. Not the usual wedding song but the lyrics are cute

This is not a test or an SOS
I'm no longer on a quest to get girls undressed
I search through their hearts and no treasure found
I'm so lucky this one lets dogs hang around
It's good having somebody good for a change
I thought that no good dirty cheats had drove me insane
I had finally given up on love and romance
If I laid down the sword, I'm giving my innocence

I like it. It's a lovely version. The lyrics might not be typical wedding ones but so what? Some are gorgeous-

Falling down
Falling in love
I'll paint you mornings of gold
I'll spin you Valentine evenings
Though we're strangers 'til now,
We're choosing the path
Between the stars

Have whatever you and your partner want!

Have what you want.

I don’t like it and the lyrics seem not to fit the occasion but it’s not my wedding so what does it matter?

Do and get everyone to pile on the floor after to magic dance

EveryFlightBeginsWithAFall · 09/12/2021 19:59

I love it

I think you should end the night to magic dance. That would be fun! Wish I'd done that for my wedding

Omg I love this song in Labyrinth. It’s very romantic I think
