However, one creative groomsman put a refreshing new twist on the Oscar-winning track to break the ice at his best friend’s wedding. Rather than reading off a traditional best man speech written with clever punch lines and witty remarks, Joey Boyes — now known as # BestManJoe — decided to honor and embarrass his pal by singing a Frozen -themed toast, which took him six months to pen. Related Mother and Daughter Create Adorable ‘Frozen’ Lip-Sync Duet: Watch “I know your dad is smiling up there on his cloud,” he sings. “And on behalf of him / I want to tell you / he’s so proud / apart from that time you got mouthy with the cops.” The video, shared by the bride Jessica Clark on her YouTube account, pulled over 60,000 views since its upload on Tuesday, August 19. “#BestManJoe (Joey Boyes) sung his amazing best man speech at our wedding Saturday 16th 2014,” Jessica wrote in the video’s description. “This was completely unexpected surprise and resulted in a standing innovation for Joe from the other wedding guests, including the bride and groom!” Check out the lyrics from best man Joe’s wedding speech : Bride wears white on her wedding day, and her husband’s looking keen After years of dating mingers, he’s finally found a queen The groom he too looks great, I’m sure you’ll all agree He couldn’t get it wrong, ‘cos he’s dressed like me You called him “Tom”, his name is Dom As his wife, you’d best not get that wrong Imagine if you had said “no”, well now we know. Best man Joe, says hello, to the couple with the brightest spark Best man Joe, says hello, to the brand new Mrs Clark Here I stand, on your wedding day Let us raise a glass, I guess this must prove that Dom’s not gay. I have known him, since we were very small You attended my first birthday, and my 17th bar brawl I’m just so pleased she said I do, but she had chance to really think this through It’s now too late to run away, I’d say Best man Joe, says hello, to the couple with the brightest spark Best man Joe, says hello, to the brand new Mrs Clark Here I stand, on your wedding day Let us raise a glass.

The British singer called in to On Air with Ryan Seacrest on Thursday morning, just after accepting the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge (watch video below), to talk about all of that, plus the MTV Video Music Awards this Sunday, for which she’s up for five awards! JoJo Wright , who has been filling in for Ryan this week, also had to ask about a supernatural experience Charli had recently at a haunted house. “I was in Sweden in the countryside doing some recording for my record,” she explains. “There was this weird vibe in this house. It was actually this huge hotel we were staying in, kind of like The Shining. We had done some research and found out that there was a woman who had drowned herself in the lake outside the house when her husband had died in the 1900s. In this documentary, it said that she still lived in the house as a ghost … So we set up a microphone and left it recording all night and at about 5 or 6 a.m., we picked up this noise that was like, ‘Oooohhhhh.’ We pitched it up three octaves and it was a woman’s voice talking … it was cool!” Related Charli XCX Covers Classic ‘I Want Candy’ With All-Girl Band Although Charli — who just dropped her second single, “ Break the Rules ” — had planned to use the woman’s voice as a sample for a track on her upcoming album, Sucker , which will be out on October 21 , she decided it against it. “People would think I was casting spells on them or something,” she joked. “Break the Rules” is available on iTunes now here ! ]]> http://www.ryanseacrest.com/2014/08/21/charli-xcx-almost-used-ghosts-voice-on-her-new-album/feed/ 0 http://www.ryanseacrest.com/2014/08/21/watch-justin-bieber-shave-off-his-mustache/ http://www.ryanseacrest.com/2014/08/21/watch-justin-bieber-shave-off-his-mustache/#comments Thu, 21 Aug 2014 14:47:30 +0000 http://www.ryanseacrest.com/?p=302480 Justin Bieber ‘s oft-mocked mustache is no more! On Wednesday night, the “ Confident ” singer bid “R.I.P” to the teeny-tiny amount of hair he’s been sporting on his upper lip lately. But he needed a little encouragement.
