Don't play "Here Comes the Bride"

#22
Mr. Klortho,

Are you tellin' me that Wagner did not pen the lyrics:

"Here come the Bride, all fat and wide. Here comes the Groom skinny as a broom."

I learn sumthin' ev'ry day here on TB!

Wow thanks! that must be the long lost other verse. I only know:
Here comes the bride
Big Fat and wide
Slipped on a Banana peel
And went for a ride.

Maybe you didn't recognize it because it's in German.

The next verse goes something like:

"Here come the Bride. All dressed in pink. Open the window and let out the stink."

Wagner's work is filled with lines like this. He was the Weird Al Yankovic of his time.

Didn't they teach you all this in your fine arts studies?

There is a bit of ignorance going on here. The piece of music is often called "Here Comes The Bride" but that is not its actual name. It is a march from an opera by Wagner, called "Lohengrin." It also not an instrumental piece - it has words - and none of them are "here comes the bride." You can read more about it here.

Oy. I'll bet you are the life of the party wherever you go. Do you wear "know it all" on your sleeve or did you save it all for us just this once? Nobody (except you of course) really gives a flying crap about the origin of the wedding march. It has become a traditional wedding march NOW. And I guarantee that no bride ever wondered about its origin. :spit:

It's a FUN THREAD about a SURPRISE TWIST at a WEDDING GIG. Don't over think it big guy. :D

Plus, everybody knows that "I Will Survive" would have brought the house down at a male same sex ceremony. Like, duh.

Seriously, I bet the gig was a blast.

Or how about:

Here comes the bride
All dressed in white
Ready to fight
in the bed tonight

:hiding:

I disagree. I have been to lots of weddings in different parts of the country and the song is always played and not once have I ever seen it refered to by that name on the program.

Once again, ignorance marches on. :rolleyes:

Wow.

Here's something to try: hum that song to ten normal people and ask them to sing along. See what happens, then you'll see why the OP was asked not to play it.

Give the guy a break, Mr. Fingers.

Were all just having a little fun, and Mr. K has added to the discussion.

We need a few fart smellers, I mean smart fellers here to educate us dumb asses once in a while.
