Getting ready with your groomsmen is a fun tradition that allows you some much-needed dude time before the wedding. While you straighten those bow ties, you’ll need the perfect playlist to rock out to. Here, we recommend our top 5 songs to play while getting ready with your boys.
1. “Thunderstruck” – AC/DC
Warning: Do not attempt the drinking game associated with this song if you want both yourself and your groomsmen to be sober for the wedding! However, you can relive your glory days by listening to this this lead single from the 1990 album “The Razors Edge” by Australian Rock Band AC/DC.
2. “Are You Gonna Be My Girl” – Jet
Hopefully, by now, you already know she’s going to be your girl! However, this song by yet another Australian rock band, Jet, and featured on its 2003 album “Get Born,” is fun to play (and air guitar to) while donning tuxes with your groomsmen!
3. “Fat Bottomed Girls” – Queen
Fat Bottomed Girls really do make the rockin’ world go round! This song, written by Guitarist Brian May for British Rock Band Queen, was featured on the 1978 album “Jazz.” Bro out to this guy-favorite to pump yourself up before the ceremony!
4. “Hypnotize” – The Notorious B.I.G.
We had to include a class hip-hop song on our playlist! “Hypnotize,” by American rapper The Notorious B.I.G., was the last song released before Biggie’s death in a drive-by shooting in 1997 and the the fifth song by a credited artist to hit number one posthumously. This tune is perfect for sipping a cocktail to get rid of those prewedding jitters!
5. “Get Lucky” – Daft Punk
Today is your lucky day, and, hey, we’ll say it, you’re also probably going to get lucky. This song by French Electronic Music Duo Daft Punk is a house-inspired disco, funk and pop track. The lyrics, according to collaborator Pharrell Williams, are about the good fortune of connecting with someone, as well as sexual chemistry. Sounds like a perfect wedding jam to us!
