American Wedding Lyrics

Have you ever been to American wedding?
Where is the vodka? Where is marinated herring?
Where's the musicians that got the taste?
Where is the supply that's going to last three days?
Where's the band that like fanfare?
Going to keep it going for 24 hours

Ba ba ba ba da ba da
Ba ba ba ba da ba da
Ba da di di di di dow

Taa taran taranta ta taa
Taa taran taranta ta taa
Taa taran taranta ta taa
Taa taran supertaranta ta taa

Instead, it's one in the morning and DJ's patching up the cords
Everybody's full of cake, staring at the floor
Proper couples start to mumble that it's time to go
People got to get up early, yep, they got to go

Taa taran taranta ta taa
Taa taran taranta ta taa
Taa taran taranta ta taa
Taa taran supertaranta ta taa

Yeah, people got to get up early and she's got a boyfriend
And this whole fucking thing is one huge disappointment
And nothing gets these bitches going, not even Gypsy Kings
Nobody talks about my supertheory of supereverything

So be you Donald Trump, or be an anarchist
Make sure that your wedding doesn't end up like this

Do do do do do do do
Da do do do do do do
Mmm do do do do do do
Mmm do do do do do do

I understand the cultures of a different kind
But here word "celebration" just doesn't come to mind!

Taa taran taranta ta taa
Taa taran taranta ta taa
Taa taran taranta ta taa
Taa taran supertaranta ta taa

Have you ever been to American wedding?
Where is the vodka? Where is marinated herring?
Where's the musicians that got the taste?
Where is the supply that's going to last three days?
Where's the band that like fanfare?
Going to keep it going for 24 hours

Ba ba ba ba da ba da
Ba ba ba ba da ba da
Ba da di di di di dow

Taa taran taranta ta taa
Taa taran taranta ta taa
Taa taran taranta ta taa
Taa taran supertaranta ta taa

Super taa super tarantara
Super taa super tarantara
Super taa super tarantara
Super taa super tarantara

So true, hah... the first lines just made me laugh so much. We Russians do love our marinated herring :) (I actually don't, which has done unspeakable damage to my social reputation among friends and relatives, lol)

Basically, talks about how fiery and long and full of food and dancing and vodka and loud, fun music Russian/Ukrainian/etc parties, especially weddings, are and how, to Eugene, American weddings are simply no fun.

heh..when i hear this song.... my god... a lot of memories come up to mind ^.^ I love our mad celebrations)))) мы жгем! епт)

This song has inspired me to make sure my wedding is actually a celebration. I'm thinking of 3 days of partying, then the wedding, then the reception!!

Oh, this'll be good!

Makes me wish to be Russian!

"Where is the supply that's gonna last three days?"

Makes even our Irish weddings sound lame!

Polish folks also celebrate like Russian, there's no way we'd run out of vodka or marinated herring ;D

Am I the only one that thinks the opening sounds a lot like "Another One Bites the Dust"?

yep - they uses bits of some know tunes (modern and traditional) in some their song

Great song. I was at thier concert last night and they played this. They are amazing live.

It does sound like Another one bites the dust. lol.

Eh, it's "Super Tarantella", no? Instead of "Taranta ta taa"?? Because "Tarantella" is a thing (the same as Taranta) and "taranta ta taa" is not...

I don't know about that, the album from this song is called Super Taranta... So yerp..
