Royal Wedding Playlist

Will n Kate
Friday, 29th April 2011
So they’ve reportedly got Ellie Goulding performing and Elton John’s got something to do with it too and oo one of the pieces in the service was composed by a York graduate, but when it comes to the Royal Wedding After Party Disco they’ve surely got to pull out the tunes for Prince Charles to get his embarrassing-dad groove on. So, in what is blatant bandwagoning, we’ve compiled them a handy list of songs with increasingly tenuous connections to royalty. Enjoy.

Michael Jackson – Don’t Stop til You Get Enough

He’s the King of Pop, it had to be. I could have used ‘Dirty Diana’ but didn’t have the balls.

Beyoncé – Crazy in Love

Well, she’s the Princess of Pop isn’t she? My brother thinks she is anyway. He wears his Beyoncé t-shirt with pride.

Prince – Kiss

Fairly self-explanatory. This Royal Family of Pop is starting to look fairly interbred...

Queen – I Want to Break Free

Obviously. Maybe this is what Harry’s thinking right now. No! I don’t want to be a royal! All this pressure! *Runs away screaming*.

Kings of Leon – King of the Rodeo

Let the good times roll!

The Divine Comedy – The Frog Princess

I am not insinuating that Kate Middleton looks like a frog. She actually looks very pretty. Well done Will.

Will Smith – Miami

He’s The Fresh Prince, geddit? And all the ladies are like “Hi Will”.

The Smiths – There is a Light That Never Goes Out

From the album The Queen is Dead. She’s not. She looks very yellow today.

Radiohead – The National Anthem

Yes I have gone and associated my favourite band with a tacky playlist about the royal wedding. In other news, I HATE MYSELF.

Sex Pistols – God Save The Queen

Personally I think Bill Bailey's version of our national anthem far better befits our nation's characteristics, but hey, Sex Pistols had a good stab at it too.

Queens of the Stone Age – No One Knows

But EVERYONE knows. Literally EVERYONE ON THE PLANET. If somehow you’ve escaped all knowledge of the royal wedding up till now I genuinely envy you, and apologise for spoiling you’re royal wedding-free mind.

kate's definitely going to be cracking out some of beyonce's moves at the after party; rip her train off, get the legs out and boom, its the gypsy wedding we all hoped for.
