Top ten wedding songs by Da Funkie Junkie!

07/04/10 | by Stephanie Chai

Touted as one of Kuala Lumpur’s ‘weddings of the year’, Donovan Tho (Da Funkie Junkie) and Julia Nicholson’s wedding no doubt had the recipe for the perfect reception. With a too cool-for-school 60s theme, guestlist of the who’s who and a venue at a top hotel and nightclub; it was definitely going to be a night to remember.

But before we upload all the picturesque photos, here’s a list of the chosen wedding songs!

After all, as one of Malaysia’s top house DJs who played everywhere from Miami to London, Da Funkie Junkie should know a thing or two about hitting that right ‘note’!

By the way, Donovan requested that I pick my top three. So please scroll down – my favourites are the songs with videos attached!

1) “Sea of love” – Phil Phillips (1959)

This was our march in song for the wedding. This version is the original. It’s our song.

2) “Here, there and everywhere” – The Beatles (1966)

One of Paul McCartney’s masterpieces, from my favourite Beatles album, “Revolver”. As gentle as a white dove. As beautiful as Julia, my love.

3) “C’est si bon” – Rhoda Scott (1976)

Describes the way I feel when I’m with Julia. “C’est Si Bon”, translated in English means “It’s so good”….my point exactly.

4) “Love” – John Lennon (1970)

John Lennon’s genius is apparent in his wordplay. We will definitely be in the same band, writing lyrics and melodies together in heaven and/or the next life.

5) “Woman” – John Lennon (1981)

Everything a man would want to say to the woman he’s in love with.

6) “Til there was you” – The Beatles (1963)

I think of Julia when I listen to this. Beautiful and perfect, just like her.

7) “Could it be I’m falling in love” – The Spinners (1972)

The lyrics articulate exactly how I felt the first time I laid my eyes on her. Astro Boy meets Cosmic Girl.

“I’m gonna make you love me” – Diana Ross & The Supremes feat The Temptations (1968)
