Dum dum da dum

The recent news about all four original members of REM playing at a friend's wedding inspired me to ask a couple of friends who they'd have at theirs, if they could have anyone, living or dead, in any combination. Kitty wants only John Doe as both wedding singer and groom. Here's my list:
Beatles
Beck
REM
(Pylon - but only if it was a small guest list of people who would like them!)
Paul McCartney solo
Wings with Prima sitting in on vocals for Linda
Jackson Five, early 70s style
Marvin Gaye
Gladys Knight and the Pips
and some jazz band to open, to make my dad happy!
Also maybe Rufus Wainwright.

Here's Nancy Drew's:
Wings with Prima. I want them to do Uncle Albert.
Earth Wind and Fire, early 70s powerhouse group w/Maurice White.
Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band
Nina Simone
Sylvester (disco guy)
Astor Piazzola
Jackson Five for sure!� And Michael Jackson in the Off the Wall time.
Woody Herman
Benny Goodman
Sarah Vaughan
David Bowie, ashes to ashes time period
The Ides of March to sing their one hit (I think) "VEHICLE" as in "I'm your vehicle baby, I'll take you anywhere you want to go..."

To which I added Nillsson and the Guess Who (to sing her favorite song, "Undun," as in "She's! Come! Un....dunnnnnn. Whoa whoa whoa oh oh oh oh bum bum bada!")

Who's playing at your dream wedding, people?
