fredericks: (Sleepy Vince)
My uncle got married yesterday (ceremonial marriage, as he and his bride went to the courthouse a few months back), and I won a bet in regards to what song would definitely be played. You see, the bride is from the Ivory Coast and my uncle is from Trinidad. I maintained that any wedding involving black folks is hands-down guaranteed to have the Cha-Cha Slide blasting from speakers at one point, no matter the origins of the celebrants. For the younger black set The Cupid Shuffle is almost mandated by law. And, wouldn't you know, folks ran to the dance floor to slide to the left and then slide to the right.

So, question: are there any songs that you're guaranteed to hear at weddings you attend? I want titles, plz.

I pulled out my Sleepy Vince icon because Queer as Folk is coming out on DVD. Donkey Kong theme music soundtrack (really? who did pick that bit?) and fantastical ending aside, this series holds a special place in my heart.

Speaking of things I enjoy, if you have access to ESPN I *highly* recommend watching ESPN's 30 for 30 documentaries when they air. I'm a casual sports fan and I've been glued to my seat for the majority of the docs I've seen (The Best That Never Was, on high school football star Marcus Dupree, was particularly great, along with The Two Escobars, on Columbian soccer during the time of the 1994 World Cup), but I think even non-fans will find something they like.
