Mel Lightner / Wedding Songs
May 31, 2002

Listen (How to Listen)

Dc: June is the wedding month. If you're involved in one this year, as a bride or a groom or a parent or hanger-on, you know the planning is monumental, like with a space launch or an invasion. And if, as a wedding planner, you are also a procrastinator, you know that all the good locations, all the good caterers, the limos, everything-you-could-possibly-need ... it's all spoken for through the entire month of June. And when it comes to getting a singer, what a nightmare! But here's where you're in luck. Because of a glitch in record keeping (he had a contract to make a record but couldn't keep it), America's most Beloved Balladeer has the entire month of June wide open! He sings the songs America sings the way America sings those same songs herself ... the inimitable ... Mister Mel Lightner!

(music starts: I'm in the mood for love)

Tk: I'm in the mood for Love ...
Simply because you're ... doo doo.
Funny but ... when you're doo doo
I'm in the mood for love

Dc: Mel Lightner brings to the most overplayed, most hackneyed songs of our time ... a completely fresh approach.

(music under: The Wedding Song)

Not a phoney kind of freshness, but the kind of distinctive styling that can only occur when an artist approaches the song as if it is an undiscovered country, full of wonder and surprise!

Tk: He is now to be la doo doo
At the calling of your heart
Rest assured oh rest assured
oh rest oh rest assured.
The union of your spirits here
La la la la ... remain
For it's two or four or more
than two or more than four or more.
(with gusto) There is love, there is love

Dc: To get a similar effect for the first dance at your wedding, you would have to rent a foghorn. And believe it or not ... Mel Lightner is MORE AFFORDABLE than that! He's not scary or overly emotional like Mandy Patinkin. He's not intimidating, like Tony Bennett. He's not going to disrupt your reception with a plea for Third World Debt relief the way Bono will. He won't draw protesters or police officers like Eminem. Having Mel Lightner sing at your wedding ... it's easy, it's comfortable ... it's like hiring your beloved Uncle Ed, except Mel looks better in a tux and he's not drunk. And that's one way to make great memories!

Tk: Unforgettable, that's what you are
Unforgettable though doo dum dee.
Like a doo dah doo that clings to me
How ho hum ho hum does things to me
La la la la ... unforgettable too
