A few years ago, I came to the realization that despite the cultural and capital magnitude of the wedding industry in the US, there is an inexplicable paucity of songs that directly address the occasion. Therefore, I set out to make one. However, as such things go, I never got much further than an inspired chorus: "It's your wedding, we're gonna get freaky!"
Over time, I shared this idea and the chorus with friends, and it became a running joke.
Last fall, while steve and I were visiting mike in Norway, I mentioned the idea to my pal's fiance, and as a result, she kept singing the chorus for the rest of the weekend.
The two are to be married next month. steve, ecib, and I decided that we were going to make the song a reality as a wedding gift.
The song is now complete (minus some embellishments and final production). But we need a freak on vocals, someone that can really cut loose and give Rick James a run for his money.
If you are such a freak, or know of one up to the task, let us know and we will coordinate.
No partial-freaks, please.
Fair warning, this song is going to make its way into the wild.
The lyrics, for your edification:
- IT'S YOUR WEDDING (WE'RE GONNA GET FREAKY)
