'War Stories'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Hmmm. You know you can get the version of Audrey singing it. It was only just released on CD in the 90s, but it's available, and who wouldn't want that version?
Unfortunately, the answer appears to be the bride. Though I may download it anyway and present it as an option. (I've been authorised to collect up to ten different versions thereof.)
...Done.
There's also a gorgeous spanish version on the soundtrack od Mala Educacion. Although it will evoke images of prepubescent boys frolicking suggestively in slomo to anyone who's seen the film, and that may not be 100% what you want for a wedding.

Sadly, don't know of any such version by Andy Williams. They might be thinking of Jerry Butler's version, but Butler is far more soulful than Williams.
It shouldn't be difficult to find -- it's on a number of compilations of Butler's music.

Jerry Butler, hm? I'll suggest it to them.
Hey, congrats, Victor! I just read your announcement. Please pass along my further congrats to Thessaly.
Yay! I have finally managed to find a copy of The Name of This Band is Talking Heads in a record store. Also, I just discovered that a bunch of albums by The Passage were re-released on CD a few years back. So today I received their first album pindrop from Amazon.
Either one of these would be enough to make my day....
eta: Oooh, some of the bonus songs in TToTBiTH are really cool! So far, I really like "The Big Country", "The Girls Want to Be With the Girls", and "Electricity (Drugs)."
I just saw a story that Mo Tucker is joining the Raveonettes.

I hope you realise that just for a moment I thought you said Mo Rocca.

Heh. Well, she keeps time like their drum machine. Not sure how she fits with their image. Go Mo!

I did see his new show about the fighting couples the other night. One of the complaints the wife had was that the husband constantly played guitar while she was watching tv. To which I say: HA!

I don't know much about them, but I thought they were all glam-ish.
