I've made my gal swear that:
1. I'm a man you don't meet everyday - The Pogues
is played as the folks stroll in, and that:
2. (White Man) in Hammersmith Palais - The Clash
is played as I'm either going up the chimney or being carried out. The threat of the haunting of a lifetime in the event of failure has pretty much ensured that it will be so!!!
To make up the full 5, I'll be happy with:
3. Spirit in the Sky - Norman Greenbaum (if it's good enough for Hunter Thompson then it's good enough for me!!!)
4. In the lap of the Gods (revisited) - Queen (I want a huuuuge singalong, and the chorus and outtro to this tune will raise the roof!!!)
5. Dreaming in a..... - The Wildhearts
Yes, I want it to be (and insist that it WILL be!!!) an absolute blast.....and anyone caught moping or wailing should be forced to get the first round in!!!
