As you know, Simon and I are getting married Saturday 28th May (Woooooop) and we can’t wait to see you there!!
What you probably all 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 ‘Crazy in Love’ by Beyonce.
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…
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
Maisie and Simon

PPS Here are those lyrics…
[Intro:]
[Jay-Z:]
Yes!
It’s so crazy right now!
Most incredibly, it’s ya girl, Bee,
It’s ya boy, young.
[Beyonce:]
You ready?
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no
[Jay-Z:]
Yea, history in the making,
Part 2, it’s so crazy right now
[Verse 1: Beyonce]
I look and stare so deep in your eyes,
I touch on you more and more every time,
When you leave I’m begging you not to go,
Call your name two or three times in a row,
Such a funny thing for me to try to explain,
How I’m feeling and my pride is the one to blame.
‘Cuz I know I don’t understand,
Just how your love can do what no one else can.
[Chorus: Beyonce]
Got me looking so crazy right now, your love’s
Got me looking so crazy right now (in love)
Got me looking so crazy right now, your touch
Got me looking so crazy right now (your touch)
Got me hoping you’ll page me right now, your kiss
Got me hoping you’ll save me right now
Looking so crazy in love’s,
Got me looking, got me looking so crazy in love.
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no
[Verse 2: Beyonce]
When I talk to my friends so quietly,
Who he think he is? Look at what you did to me,
Tennis shoes, don’t even need to buy a new dress,
If you ain’t there ain’t nobody else to impress,
The way that you know what I thought I knew,
It’s the beat my heart skips when I’m with you,
But I still don’t understand,
Just how your love can do what no one else can.
[Chorus: Beyonce]
Got me looking so crazy right now, your love’s
Got me looking so crazy right now (oh crazy)
Got me looking so crazy right now, your touch (you’re in love)
Got me looking so crazy right now (love!)
Got me hoping you’ll page me right now, your kiss (hey!)
Got me hoping you’ll save me right now
Looking so crazy in love’s, (hey)
Got me looking, got me looking so crazy in love.
I’m Looking so crazy in love’s,
Got me looking, got me looking so crazy in love.
[Verse 3: Jay-Z (Beyonce)]
Check it, let’s go
Young Hov y’all know when the flow is loco,
Young B and the R-O-C, uh oh, (oh)
Ol’ G, big homie, the one and only,
Stick bony, but the pocket is fat like Tony, Soprano, (oh no)
The ROC handle like Van Axel,
I shake phoneys man, You can’t get next to,
The genuine article I go I do not sing though,
I sling though, If anything I bling yo,
Star like Ringo, war like a green berret
Crazy bring your whole set,
Jay-Z in the range, crazy and deranged,
They can’t figure them out they like hey is he insane, (oh no)
Yes sir I’m cut from a different cloth,
My texture is the best fur, of chinchilla.
(Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no)
Been dealing with chain smokers,
But how you think I got the name Hova?
(Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no)
I been realer the game’s over,
(Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no)
Fall back young, ever since the label changed over
(Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no)
to platinum the game’s been wrap, One!
[Bridge: Beyonce]
Got me looking, so crazy, my baby
I’m not myself, lately I’m foolish, I don’t do this,
I’ve been playing myself, baby I don’t care
‘Cuz your love’s got the best of me,
And baby you’re making a fool of me,
You got me sprung and I don’t care who sees,
‘Cuz baby you got me, you got me, so crazy baby
HEY!
[Chorus: Beyonce]
Got me looking so crazy right now, your love’s (oh love)
Got me looking so crazy right now (lookin’ crazy)
Got me looking so crazy right now, your touch
Got me looking so crazy right now
Got me hoping you’ll page me right now, your kiss (baby)
Got me hoping you’ll save me right now (baby)
Looking so crazy in love’s, (whoa!)
Got me looking, got me looking so crazy in love. (whoa!)
Got me looking so crazy right now, your love’s
Got me looking so crazy right now (your love)
Got me looking so crazy right now, your touch
Got me looking so crazy right now (your touch)
Got me hoping you’ll page me right now, your kiss
Got me hoping you’ll save me right now
Looking so crazy in love’s,
Got me looking, got me looking so crazy in love.
