...and I know many of you have said you never would, but if you did, what song would you dance to for the first time with you new spouse? If you already have taken the plunge, what was "your" song?

You know that is a quote from Meher Baba. I wonder if McFerrin took it from that source.
"Don't Worry, Be Happy - I Will Help You." Meher Baba
Quote :
The Indian mystic and sage Meher Baba (1894–1969) often used the expression "Don't worry, be happy" when cabling his followers in the West. However, Meher Baba communicated variations of the sentiment; fuller versions of the quote—such as, "Do your best. Then, don’t worry; be happy in My love. I will help you" -- also incorporate responsibility ("do your best...") alongside the detachment ("don't worry..."), as well as the master/disciple spiritual relationship ("I will help you"). In the 1960s, the truncated version of this expression by Baba was printed up on inspiration cards and posters of the era. In 1988, McFerrin noticed a similar poster in the apartment of the jazz band Tuck & Patti in San Francisco. Inspired by the expression's charm and simplicity, McFerrin wrote the now famous song, which was included in the soundtrack of the movie Cocktail, and became a hit single the next year. In an interview by Bruce Fessier for USA Weekend Magazine in 1988 McFerrin said, "Whenever you see a poster of Meher Baba, it usually says 'Don't worry, be happy,' which is a pretty neat philosophy in four words, I think."
Meher Baba was also Pete Townsend's one of the inspirations for Baba O'Riley.

I decided at 15 that this would be my wedding song:
And this will be played right after:
Hell, I'll just make both of them my wedding songs.

(Is that "would be" or "was"?)
I'm not getting married again ever!
Wouldn't you play that for your wedding night?
