Does anybody know of good fanvids or fannish music videos set to either Elton John's "Your Song" or the standard "They Can't Take That Away from Me"? Edit: Or a similar jazz standard.

Let me 'splain. No, there is too much. Let me sum up:

Late last night while putting the finishing touches on the reception playlist (well, the content, not the actual order), I discovered that there's very little in the way of songs that lend themselves to slow dancing or even slow-to-moderate dancing (except the First Dance which is kind of restricted to [livejournal.com profile] echan and I). Given that wedding receptions are great for making people feel all romantic and whatnot, this seems wrong to me.

However, my search for another song is somewhat complicated by the fact that we're doing a video reception -- that is, there will be a fanvid, music video, or other visual element for every song (this also means that Blister in the Sun is cut ridiculously short, much to my chagrin). The two songs above seem the best picks. Worst case scenario, I can cull the related musical numbers from Moulin Rouge and Shall We Dance? but I'd prefer something a bit more fannish.

Cute, but yeah, not quite what I'm looking for.

Didn't think so. Let me see what I can muster up for ya. I make no promises, mind you, but I'll do my best. :)

Okay, this is just one option, and it wasn't what you were ideally looking for but I got incredibly sappy, like I tend to do. :)

If I have time, I can try to muster up some Torchwood options, too, but if I don't this might could at least work in a pinch if you can't find something better. It will totally not hurt my feelings if you don't want to use it, though.

Did you work this up just now? You're some kind of awesome!

I have to run it by the fiancee, of course, but I dig it.

[livejournal.com profile] echan agrees -- this is awesome and we're totally using it.

Aw, I'm glad you both like it. :) I can bring the full file with me on a flash drive.
