Songs about wedding rings?

Sign in to disble this ad
So, my mom wants to hassle my brother for being engaged for a while now, but they haven't made any plans, and no rings have been purchased yet. We want to just have some fun by barraging him with music about getting married, specifically ones about getting rings. Here's what I have so far:

Pomplamoose's version of "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)"

Police "Wrapped around Your finger"

Brad Paisley's "Put a Ring on the finger I'm Wrapped Around"

Any other ideas?

two that aren't exactly cheery - "Band of Gold" from the '70s (what's that about?) and "Who Wants to Buy this Diamond Ring" from the '60s.

This one's really cool ... "On the Other Hand" by Randy Travis.

On one hand I count the reasons, I could stay with you
And hold you close to me, all night long.
So many lover's games, I’d love to play with you
On that hand there’s no reason, why it's wrong

But on the other hand, there's a golden band
To remind me of someone who would not understand
On one hand I could stay and be your lovin’ man
But the reason I must go is on the other hand

In your arms I feel the passion, I thought had died
When I looked into your eyes, I found myself
When I first kissed your lips, I felt so alive
I've got to hand it to you girl, you're something else

But on the other hand, there's a golden band
To remind me of someone who would not understand
On one hand I could stay and be your lovin’ man
But the reason I must go is on the other hand

I really don't think that Police song is about marriage or rings...

Nope, it sure ain't, but that's not the point. The point is to send a barrage of songs his way that are all about rings and/or wrapped around a finger, etc. Inundate the lazy SOB!

Wait... Did I just insult my own mother there? I think so...

Throw in some Tolkien metal about the One Ring just for the humor value. No, I can't actually name any, but I'm sure plenty of it exists.
