And we danceddddd...

As you know, we are getting married on 17th April (Woooooop) and we can’t wait to see you there!!

What you probably don’t know is, we have invited the team from Music Wedding Videos to film everyone enjoying the day, singing, dancing and generally having a great time to ‘And we danced’ by Macklemore.

Here is the song we’ve chosen for you to get familiar with …


How this works is, the guys will be equipped with printed lyrics and speakers on the day; they’ll be looking for volunteers to sing along to a couple of lines from the track on camera. They’ll then turn the footage into a music video of the wedding day. Don’t worry too much about learning all the words as we mentioned they’ll have some printed on the day and after playing a short section of the song a couple of times you’ll soon pick it up.

You’ll have a few go’s at getting it right, and they’re pretty good at editing to make you look awesome. Your singing voice doesn’t matter either because they’re not going to use the audio – the real song will be played over the video footage of you singing along.

The lyrics are included at the bottom of the page

How up for it are you?

Mad for it!

OK, so you fancy yourself as a bit of a performer or a pop-star in another life?

Here’s what you can do:

  • Watch the video
  • Learn the lyrics
  • Practice in front of the mirror
  • Choreograph a dance routine
  • Get together with some like-minded guests to do something as a group

We are looking for people to (willingly) come forward beforehand to be given specific lines to learn, and we will then forward everyone their own lyrics to perfect 🙂 If any of you do want to perform something special, please let us know or contact the MWV guys at info@musicweddingvideos.com so they can plan it into the shoot.

Happy to get involved on the day

Here’s what we recommend:

  • Watch the video
  • Try to learn at least one or two lines from the song
  • Grab the MWV guys on the day and let them know you want to get involved

A little bit camera-shy

We realise some people either don’t feel super comfortable in front of cameras, especially video cameras. Don’t worry – the MWV guys are very sensitive to this and won’t force you to get involved if you don’t feel comfortable. But if it’s not too painful, we do hope you can at least give us a smile or a wave so that we can remember you on our special video. And remember – if it’s your singing voice you’re worried about, they don’t actually use that in the final video – you’re just miming along to the real song. Here’s what we recommend:

  • Don’t worry too much about learning the lyrics
  • On the day, see if you’re in the right mood. If not, just let the MWV guys know if you’d prefer to just be an ‘extra’ without performing, or if you don’t want to be in the video at all.

We think this is a really fun way to record and re-live our big day for years to come and hope you’ll all get involved in some way.

Still not sure how this works?

Here are a couple of examples of a finished video from previous weddings once they have been edited and effects have been put on…

Hayley and Ian – That Vibe

Sam and Emma – Happy

Claire and Kev – Uptown Funk

So……..

  • Glamorous couple – Check
  • Beautiful Location – Check
  • Awesome dancing and singing – that’s where you come in

Let’s make this a wedding video to remember!

Love

Helen and Luke

PS Remember, if anyone wants to do anything specific then please contact us or Kev at Music Wedding Videos at kev.bagnall@musicweddingvideos.com

PPS Here are those lyrics…

And we danced, and we cried
And we laughed and had a really really really good time
Take my hand, let’s have a blast
And remember this moment for the rest of our lives

Our lives, our lives, our lives, our lives
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
‘Cause tonight’s the night
Am I right?
Dance!

Feels like a night for a party
My nature so naughty
There’s a knock on the door, it’s the neighbors
Quit cock blocking
We’re having a ho-down, you hoe’s down?
Don’t let me pull my hose out
‘Cause it’s big, long, pink, strong
And been known to dance like all night long

Grab my hand, play this song
DJ save my life, come on
Leave your fear, back off the wall
Free of beat and pussy pop

If you don’t have a pussy
Pop a cock into a booty
To a booty

And we danced, and we cried
And we laughed and had a really really really good time
Take my hand, let’s have a blast
And remember this moment for the rest of our lives

I am not, I am not going to stand on the wall
I will dance, I will dance, I will break that ass off
And I see you in the corner, corner looking so small
Doing the robot like if I die tonight at least I went hard

I will not, I will not give a damn who watches me
I will live, I will live liberate the fox in me
I will be the discoball freak and give my all
To whatever girl’s booty I’m freaking on
I’m not skeeting nah, it’s just freaking hot
Alright I skeeted

I will not be a mannequin
No, the ego banish it
The roof’s on fire
Let’s burn down the Vatican

I will moonwalk to Pluto in honor of Michael Jackson
In heaven he’ll be saying, “That man is tight at dancing.”
RIP to the king, Michael Jackson, we learned it all from you
Dedicate this to the dance floor

Party up the sorrow
‘Til tomorrow
Morning happens
We pledge allegiance to the DJ
Put your hands up

And we danced, and we cried
And we laughed and had a really, really, really good time
Take my hand, let’s have a blast
And remember this moment for the rest of our lives

You see me looking at you from that bar right over there
But your friends are huddled up and they are hating on a player
I just wanna dance with you, get on the back of you
Tip tap the boots, extract the truth
Da-dance with you, get on the back of you
Da-dance dance dance
Awesome

Ladies, I just wanna dance with you
I just wanna dance with you
Come here
Alright
I see you girl
I just wanna dance with you
I just wanna dance with you

And we danced, and we cried
And we laughed and had a really really really good time
Take my hand, let’s have a blast
And remember this moment for the rest of our lives
