I’ll be filling in for a few weeks for song of the week and I’ve decided to dedicate my time to writing about music I would like to hear at our wedding. My first selection will be Shout by the Isley Brothers because it has a little something for everyone. You have a fast pace, a slow pace, jumping, taking it to the ground, and easy lyrics to remember. What more do you need for the perfect song and you only need to watch the montage to appreciate it. In fact, find it in your CD selection or download it right now and I guarantee you’ll remember why it’s such a good time. And don’t be embarrassed if you’re at work because my money’s on you invigorating your coworkers by playing Shout because I may have tried it myself. Bethany and I play it a few times during the week to dance off our work stress.
It makes me wonder why they don’t make songs like this anymore. Think about it, it seems like all the really, really good songs all come from the 60’s. If you don’t believe me, turn your radio to your local Oldie’s station and I bet you will find a song you love within ten minutes. I think it’s because musicians want to be considered “artists” so they add too much emotion to their writing instead of having fun with it and you end up with these drawn out stories of a broken heart. Shout’s a pure song. Some guy likes a girl and his feelings can best be described by letting it fly without thinking about it. The result is every wedding in the world playing this song and people race to the dance floor to get a little bit softer now
I would also like to put everyone on notice I plan on attempting to set a new world record for the most people doing the Turtle (a dance move made popular my Animal House) in one place. My official score sheet indicates you get credit for 2.5 people for each female who hits the floor so step up ladies
PS I did listen to Shout three times while writing this post.

Hi Beth and Donny! My mom just sent me the link to your blog. We have recently started our own blog also, but we are not as experienced as you all yet! Good luck with all of the wedding plans--sounds like everything is going great!! Take Care, Caitlin
I'll be practicing my Turtle, though I'll only get you credit for 1 person.
