Wedding Day
Norrie Paramor and His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She was a real live hoochie-koocher
She was the roughest, toughest frail
But Minnie had a heart as big as a wha-a-le
Hidee-hidee-hidee-hi()
Hodee-hodee-hodee-ho()
Heedey-hee-dee-hee-dee hee ()
She hung around with a bloke named Smoky
She loved him though he was cokey
He took her down to Chinatown
Where he showed her how to kick the gong around ()
Hidee-hidee-hidee-hi()
Wooooooh()
Heedey-hee-dee-hee-dee hee ()
Hidee-hidee-hidee-ho()
She had a dream about the King of Sweden
He gave her things that she was needin'
A palace home built of gold and steel
A diamond car with platinum wheels
Hidee-hidee-hidee-hidee-hidee-hidee-hi()
Hodee-hodee-hodee-hodee-hodee-hodee-ho()
Scoodley-woo-scoodley-woo-scoodley-woodley-woodley-woo()
Zit-dit-dit-dit-dittle-but-dut-duttleoo-skit-dit-skittle-but-dit-zoy()
He gave her his townhouse and his racing horses
Each meal she ate was a dozen courses
She had a million dollars worth of nickels and dimes
She sat around and counted them a million times
Hidee-hidee-hidee-hi()
Hodee-hodee-hodee-ho()
Heedey-hee-dee-hee-dee hee ()
Hidee-hidee-hidee-ho()
Poor Min, poor Min, poor Min
I must clarify that the lyrics above are not of Norrie Paramor and His Orchestra's song "Wedding Day." Instead, they are the lyrics of the famous jazz song "Minnie the Moocher" by Cab Calloway. Nonetheless, I will provide an interpretation of the lyrics for "Wedding Day."
Norrie Paramor and His Orchestra's "Wedding Day" is an instrumental composition that allows listeners to create their own narrative and interpretation of the music. However, the title itself suggests that the song is meant to embody the emotions and atmosphere of a romantic wedding day. The gentle melody and harmonious instrumentation produce a dreamy and nostalgic effect, which may symbolize the sentimental and affectionate moments of a couple's special day. It may be interpreted as a musical portrayal of the beautiful and unforgettable memories that weddings leave behind. The absence of lyrics leaves room for listeners to project their own personal experiences and emotions onto the piece, making it a universal and versatile composition that can resonate with a vast range of individuals.
Overall, "Wedding Day" is a sentimental and romantic piece of music that captures the essence of a joyous and unforgettable occasion.

Despite her tough exterior, Minnie was a kind and compassionate person

He gave her his townhouse and his racing horses
In her dream, the King also gave her a luxurious house and horses
Each meal she ate was a dozen courses
In her dream, Minnie ate extravagantly

In her dream, Minnie was wealthy beyond measure
She sat around and counted them a million times
In her dream, Minnie was obsessed with her wealth
Poor Min, poor Min, poor Min
The refrain at the end of the song expresses a sense of pity for Minnie and her situation
