Hi, everyone,

My husband and I started dating when we were in high school, and during that time, a group called Blue Swede came out with a crazy version of B.J. Thomas’s song, “Hooked on a Feeling,” that started out with the group chanting “Oooga chaka, Oooga Chaka, etc.”

So “our song” is “Hooked on a Feeling” by Blue Swede. We still hear it once in a while and it brings back lots of great memories, as well as reminds us of our love and commitment to each other.

So do you and your husband/wife (or perhaps fiance, boyfriend/girlfriend, etc.) have a special song that you call “Your Song?”
 
Disney Girls

When my husband and I were in high school, we were friends and used to listen to this album, and this one song in particular. We lost contact for many years, but when we married 13 years later, we had this song as our first dance at our reception.

Yes! Antique Sandy by the Byrds. My husband has a nice voice but he never sings…except he sang along on that song to me. It’s how I discovered he has a nice voice! 😂

I’ve also included it in my funeral playlist…which is hopefully still in the far future. It’s a song we both loved and he melted my heart when he sang it to me. ❤️❤️❤️

Ps…I remember your song though I had no idea who performed it! :hugs:
 
We’ve enjoyed a number of songs together over the course of the years (over 25 since we started dating.)

But I think this is the one:


He used to sing this to me in the car as we drove around.

Our dates were often just driving and talking then getting a bagel and coffee at 2:00 am they were still hot from the oven.
 
I like it! What do the words say, @F_Marturana?

(We too have many songs, but not 25!)
 
The refrain is something like:

Like the violets, you will return.

You will bring back the springtime.

You had my life in you hands.

But you went away, I don’t know why.

Maybe tomorrow you will cry, and understand

The springtime will bloom again

And you, like the violets, will return.

We have a whole cassette tape of songs we played at our wedding.’

Here’s one of them.

If you mean a romantic song, no we didn’t. I had romantic songs with other guys and that’s the last thing I wanted with my husband to be honest because he wasn’t like other guys.

We do have songs we very much enjoyed together. The one I remember best is the satirical hit by Denis Leary that has an unprintable title unfortunately, so I cannot discuss it here. We got a big joint laugh out of it. We had a weird shared sense of humor.

We also had an in-joke about Bob Marley’s song "Jammin’ ". My husband rewrote it as “Pajamas” when I dragged him to a Lollapalooza fest once back in the day. There’s probably a bunch more of those in our past. I can’t remember them all right now.
 
This was the song we chose for our first dance at our wedding in 1988.


And then this song is just simply us…

 
ACDC basically any song, and Come and see the real thing Russel Morris
 
I don’t have a girlfriend or wife. BUT, when I had a girlfriend (briefly engaged to her, as a matter of fact), she was a big fan of The Cure. And, so, I left a full recording of “Just Like Heaven”, on her phone. So, if I had a song with her, that was probably it.
 
My husband and I were partial to the song ‘Strangers in the Night’ by Frank Sinatra. Not because of the lyrics since we had first met in 7th grade and lived near each other in a small upstate New York rural community. We were well acquainted with each other. This song was played by the orchestra during our first date which was a semi-formal dinner dance held at the Summit Hotel in NYC. It was a Christmas event sponsored by the all female nursing school that I was attending. So I invited him to be my date. I had recently broken up with my boyfriend and he had broken up with one of my best friends. That song summed up the magical feel to the entire beautiful evening we spent together.
When we were planning our wedding, this was to be the song for our first dance. My mother fiercely objected to it because of the lyrics. She felt that it wasn’t proper and people would be snickering! It was causing lots of disagreement so my to be husband made a compromise. He got my mother to agree that if we wouldn’t use that song then he would decide on what it should be. He said in order to keep the peace, he wouldn’t tell either one of us what the song would be. He did promise me that it would be a perfect slow dance song. At the reception as he led me onto the dance floor, I heard the opening notes of ‘A Man and a Woman’! Not only was it very romantic but it taught me as a new bride to defer to my wise husband’s judgement. My mother was not so pleased but it helped established boundaries in our relationship with her as a couple. So each of these songs brings back wonderful memories of our lives together.
 
I would guess, and hope my wife would agree, that our song is “Fool in the rain”, by Led Zeppelin.


My song for my wife is James Taylor’s, “Something in the way she moves”.

 
Hi Peeps - my husband and I also started dating in high school so I understand your question as every couple had what they considered “their song”. We tried to come up with one but we never really did. LOL. We would think “oh this one could be ‘our’ song but nah…”

Music is a huge part of both our lives (in different ways) so we each have music and songs special to us either as a memory of a specific moment, a general time, the lyrics in particular or… whatever. So many now that we’ve been married for so long.

As for your song… I had to smirk and chuckle. I remember that song! My parents had that record and my little brother LOVED that song when he was about ages 4-7. I liked the Saturday morning kid show “Land of the Lost” and when they sang the Oooga Chaka" part I always (always!) thought of Chaka - the hominid ‘ape’ that befriended Will and Holly. So your song will FOREVER be “Chaka’s” song to me. LOL.
 
No song. We’ve been married over 21 years and we don’t have a song that is “ours”. However, I have a game I play with her. I can say any three or four words to her in a sentence and she will probably start singing it. She so predictable! 😍:smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
 
No, but my parents had one. It was “To Each His Own”. I believe it was the Ink Spots that made that popular in the 1940s?
