SONG CHALLENGE WINNER!

The Challenge:  (A true story)  Gerhard Spitz and Martina Steindorf, both of Germany, were married in a Las Vegas casino recently in a "masked wedding." The pair were the winners of a radio contest in Germany where listeners matched the most compatible and most popular couple. The couple had only spoken once before the wedding, when the groom proposed to the bride on-air before they were flown to Las Vegas for their wedding. At the ceremony, the couple were masked until they were pronounced husband and wife. The groom then kissed the shaking bride, saying "It's fate that we are joined." The happy kids honeymooned in California, where the groom said "We're going to get acquainted."

Who Are You? by mousethief
(Tune: Somethin' Stupid)

I know I volunteered and yet I think it's pretty weird I'm getting married to you
And if our marriage lasts I know that there's an even chance that I'll get buried with you
They flew us out to Vegas from our homes and now they make us wear these masks, it's true
And then I go and spoil it all by asking something stupid like "Who are you?"

We didn't feel no spark, it's just because there's such a market for schlock radio
And though I'm not a poet, and though we were dumb, I know it's just our fate, you know
They all said we were "natch" and said we were a better match than any other two
And then I go and spoil it all by asking something stupid like "Who are you?"

I know that in the past people got married without asking who their mate would be
Their parents would arrange it and the couple couldn't change it very easily
But now those days are over, and we moderns find our lovers by ourselves, it's true
And then I go and spoil it all by asking something stupid like "Who are you?"

Who are you? Who are you?
