The Lyrics
It's finally your sister's big day..... but the reception isn't exactly....um....alive....
It's not a funeral so don't blubber anyone
It's not a funeral so have fun with everyone
And when I see you wearin' black i'm very stunned
It's not a funeral so why you cry?
No-one's died
It's not a funeral so please shout it's not a crime
But when I see you moping about you've crossed the line
If you should ever taste the punch tell everyone
It's not a funeral
So play some party games
I'm not the one to blame
So just chill out have a good time
Help blow up balloons
Greet the bride and groom
Why can't this wedding end in smiles?
It's not a funeral don't be sad please anyone
It's not a funeral so be glad for everyone
Can I interest you in a cake at any time?
It's not a funeral
So thank the lovely bride and groom
Woah-wooah-wooah
woah-woah
(repeat woahing until fade)
It's not a funeral so have fun with everyone
And when I see you wearin' black i'm very stunned
It's not a funeral so why you cry?
No-one's died
It's not a funeral so please shout it's not a crime
But when I see you moping about you've crossed the line
If you should ever taste the punch tell everyone
It's not a funeral
So play some party games
I'm not the one to blame
So just chill out have a good time
Help blow up balloons
Greet the bride and groom
Why can't this wedding end in smiles?
It's not a funeral don't be sad please anyone
It's not a funeral so be glad for everyone
Can I interest you in a cake at any time?
It's not a funeral
So thank the lovely bride and groom
Woah-wooah-wooah
woah-woah
(repeat woahing until fade)

A wacky take on the original song, indeed!
DAK, Weddings aren't the funerals. The Divorces are. 5's.
Maybe it was a shotgun wedding.
I like it.
Good one, DAK! 555
(In Order Of Appearance) Thank you Johnny D, Red Ant, 2Eagle, Royce Miller and Rick C
fantastic idea, DAK, and well-executed (not that it's a funeral or anything) - 555
LOL! Good one, DAK! We hate weddings, but this is one hilarious song! 5's
DKTOS, but this was easy to follow and was funny. Yet another good one from you, Kid. Fives.
Good timing: My sister actually did get married on May 1. And we got through the day without any disasters. Now, if I can only find someone... without all the nasty habits of some of the girls in my parodies... and who won't say, "Oh, God, that was great, Orlando!"...
Um...I have NO idea who you could be talking about, Mr. Pacholek. I certainly would never utter that phrase. VIN is Great...Orlando is Fabulous...
Oh, and by the way, nice job, DAK...=)
Oh, and by the way, nice job, DAK...=)
Oh my f***in' god, thank you so very very much everyone who's voted! Wow, I didn't expect THIS!!! You guys all kick ass - thank you so much!
Nice 'roadie.
Thank you, SAK
(sotmmay05) wish i knew why
Thanx, Agrimorfee
(SOTM) I'm still wondering what's in the punch... Although the punchline was great! 5's
(SOTM) Funny and quirky. Nice job!
(SOTM) Already voted. At the time this was posted DAK, the Jennifer Wilbanks thing was going on in the US, which boosted the funny for me because you probably didn't know about it. Great work.
(SOTM05) Already commented and voted above.
Thank you Tim, Charlie, Red Ant and Rick C
(SOTM05) Really good one.
(SOTM) Give this parody to the next wedding singer you meet. :-)
Clever title, clever parody, especially considering that this song came out more than 20 years before you were born.
More fun than an open casket funeral.
SOTM: DKTOS
Just kidding. I actually cranked up the MP3 and sang along. Great title sub. I'd like to see a wedding band crank this one out at a lifeless reception.
(SOTM) I can relate to this, considering I just got married recently. Perhaps this would have spiced up the reception a little. Also this could go with the upcoming movie The Wedding Crashers. Regardless, very clever parody, DAK. Tri-Fives.
(SOTM) See above.
SOTM--I think this is my favorite of what you've written, DAK...=)
(SOTM) see above - great stuff DAK
SOTM--Nice job there.
How'd I miss this one? Great rhyming and a whimsical concept. I guess it's '4 Funerals and a Funeral'...
Catchy. Fun with good flow too. Nice one DAK.
(SOTM) How the hell did I miss this? Great stuff. 555
Thank you to everyone who has commented and voted. Very much appreciated
555, good..... =)
Cheers, Stephen : )
Awesome :D 555!
