Marriage Songs.....

[SacredCow]

In the debate between Civil Unions vs Marriage, there is the potential for unexpected collateral damage. Among them, the popular songs that would have to be re-recorded to account for civil unions. I submit "Love and Marriage" as it would have to be re-written:

Love and civil unions, love and civil unions
Go together like a horse and carriage
This I tell you brother
You can’t have one without the other

Love and civil unions, love and civil unions
It’s an institute you can’t disparage
Ask the local gentry
And they will say it’s elementary

Try, try, try to separate them
It’s an illusion
Try, try, try, and you will only come
To this conclusion

Love and civil unions, love and civil unions
Go together like a horse and carriage
Dad was told by mother
You can’t have one without the other

Of course, that doesn't really work, does it?

1. "Wouldn't it be Nice?"

Wouldnt it be nice if we were Het'ro
Then we would'nt have to wait at all
And wouldn't it be nice to live together
In the kind of world where we belong

You know its gonna make it that much better
When we can say "I Do" and sign the paper

Wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up
In the morning when the day is new
And after having spent the day together
Hold each other close the whole night through

Happy times together we've been spending
I wish that every kiss was neverending
Wouldn't it be nice?

Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray it might come true
Baby then there wouldn't be a single thing we couldn't do
We could be married
And then we'd be happy

Wouldn't it be nice

You know it seems the more we talk about it
It only makes it worse to live without it
But let's talk about it
Wouldn't it be nice

2. Nice!

Not that the fundies think there is anything other than sex to a gay relationship... :eyes:

3. Janis Ian did a great song called

MARRIED IN LONDON

We’re married in London
but not in New York
Spain says we’re kosher
The States say we’re pork
We wed in Toronto
The judge said “Amen”
and when we got home
we were single again

It’s hard being married
and living in sin
Sometimes I forget
just which state I am in
Thank God I’m not Catholic
I’d be a mess
trying to figure out
what to confess

My passport in Sweden
says I’ve got a wife
Amsterdam tells me
I’m partnered for life
But back in America
land of the free
I’m a threat to
the national security

If I were a frog
here is what I would say
It’s hard being green
It’s hard being gay
But love has no color
and hearts have no sex
so love where you can
and bugger the rest

5. I think only onions rhyme with unions...sort of..how about bunions?

Love and civil unions, love and civil unions
Go together like a horse and onions
This I tell you brother
You can’t have one without the other

........
Love and civil unions, love and civil unions
Go together like a horse and bunions
This I tell you brother
You can’t have one without the other
