My very first thought was "Love Cats" by the Cure. I haven't thought about it to know if it is "reasonable," but I think it is fun and kinda "sexy." But not at all imagining the type of thing Oksana did, much of the "classy" aspect that I would explain the way they skate now. :agree: That just seems to fit their personalities.
There was another poster a while ago that said they would like to see this - Kassy maybe? - and I thought Of Tanith and Ben and hasn't gotten out of my mind.

Something to classic rock music. I've always wanted to see them skate to Stairway to Heaven. (That would work as a FD too.) Also, Offenbach's Can-Can would make a fun program for them.

If they're going to do Led Zep, I'd like to see them do "Kashmir"-- it has a trance-like quality that if they did it well, could be reminiscent of T/D's Bolero.
On a side note, I recently discovered the song "Half Acre" by Hem. It is gorgeous, and is begging to be an exhibition piece for a beautiful lyrical skater. Of course, my dream would be to see Michelle Kwan do it...:boohoo:

That is making me feel like seeing Kurt Browning skate to "Hangman." Talk about a sweaty ending

The Blue Danube. :yes:
My all time favorite piece of music for ice dancing
Umbrellas of Cherbourg is a wonderful number. It was used in the past by Punsalon and Swallow and Usova and Platov . I think Ben and Tanith have suffered in the standings because of some of their choices. This would be a great one!

Oooh, I thought of another suggestion: 'To Life' from Fiddler on the Roof would be really cool.

Well, along the same lines as Mathman but with much more impact would be the great waltz from Rosenkavalier. It is like the Blue Danube in a crazy mirror. If anyone saw Suzanne Farrell's marvelous solo in Balanchine's Vienna Waltzes, that's it. It must have been done, though....

Two pieces from romantic operas:
1. Marietta's Lied from Die Tote Stadt (the Dead City or City of the Dead)(Korngold) - one of the most rapturous arias in the world. This version is for soprano and chamber ensemble and doesn't convey all the magic of the orchestral version but it is still exquisite.

2. La Sonnambula (the Sleepwalker) (Bellini - maybe in the Rieti version used by Balanchine). Another great romantic masterpiece. Here's one of the most beautiful arias.
