Pachelbel’s Canon may be a classic, but something about these two lovebirds screams nouveau. That’s why *extremely Puff Daddy Diddy Sean Combs Brother Love voice* You know we had to do a remix, right?
Put your hands together for The Prompt Mag’s supa official! (but definitely not official) Royal Wedding Playlist!
I question Jillian Conochan’s taste level.
On a scale from a tulip to Martin Shkreli, how insensitive is it to select the little known Lady Gaga gem, “Princess Die”?
“Princess Die” incited outrage, from those who think it glamorizes suicide to those who feel it desecrates Princess Diana’s name. To them I say: Get over it… Prince William did. It’s a bitchin’ tune for a bitchin’ couple. Rock on, Harry and Meghan 🤘🤘
Josh Bard thinks Harry ain’t got no alibi…
I mean, I don’t really think I need to explain this one to anyone besides Stevie Wonder. Prince Harry may be rich and dignified and generous and kind and supportive and hilarious and a generous lover and he actually had better be all of those things to even the scales with Meghan Markle.
…Dennis William agrees.
I imagine that the British Royal version of lighthearted frivolity that is acceptable at a wedding would include playing country music from the States. So the playlist would include Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton singing “Islands in the Stream,” a long song that won’t ruffle any feathers.
A song that probably wouldn’t make it, but would still be a good nod to the Royal Family’s past habit of keeping the blood line pure (and might apply to Harry, should he and Meghan have kids), is Lorretta Lynn and Conway Twitty’s “You’re the Reason Our Kids are Ugly.”
P.S. Come on, Josh. You know that Stevie isn’t blind.
Sonja Straus’s insufferable Colonial is showing.
Not to be an insufferable Colonial, but I’m going to have to go with a one-two punch of “God Save the Queen” and “Anarchy in the UK” by the Sex Pistols. I haven’t done a 23-and-Me or anything, but all indications point to a fairly grudge-holding mixture of low class Irish, Welsh, and Scots antecedents. And those are the people who got off easy, in the global perspective.
Here’s the jaunty medley version called “Black Arabs” from The Great Rock N’ Roll Swindle soundtrack:
Hope those two crazy kids survive the hoopla. A noble class is a crime against humanity. Come see the violence inherent in the system, etc.
Gavin Lippman will teach you, teach you, teach you how to get turnt.
Call me old school, but I’m a big fan of at least one line dance at a wedding reception. Which is why in my heart of hearts, I believe that there’s gotta be a line dance at the Royal Wedding. As much as I would love to see Meghan’s fam, the Royal Family, and guests do the “Wobble” or the “Cupid Shuffle” next to one another, I’m gonna go with a classic. “The Electric Slide” is a generational dance everyone from the Queen, the Obamas, Meghan’s fam, and even little Prince Louis can get down to!
Brian McGackin’s got a magical suggestion.
If they’re not gonna play “Harry’s Wondrous World” by John Williams from the first Harry Potter movie, they should just elope.
N. Alysha Lewis dreamed this moment into life.
This selection has less to do with the royal nuptials and more to do with all the black and mixed girls who are living vicariously through it. These youngsters had to wait until 2009 for a black Disney princess—and who even saw The Princess and the Frog?—and had very little hope of seeing that kind of fairy tale live out in real life. Until now. Until Meghan Markle. This song is for you, my little princesses of color. Never stop dreaming your not-so-impossible dream!!
Can’t get enough? Good, because there’s more! Check out these songs and more on our Spotify playlist!
