The Big Ask

A song you'd use as the soundtrack to a promposal - whether it's sweet, dramatic, hilarious, or just totally random. Think of it like making the ultimate musical moment to pop the question: "Will you go to prom with me?" Explain how you'd do it in the comments if you want!

    This is an homage to actual events. I went to prom with someone who broke up with me 1 week before the big day. With everything already paid for, we had to still go. If I had the foresight to those events, this song would have had playing in the background when the question was asked…

    Since I went to prom in the 80's, I had to pick a song accordingly

    I’d “Say Anything” this outside of her house in the rain as she looked down from her second story bedroom window.

    I would take them to the planetarium to watch the tour of the Milky Way show. Before the end of the show, I’d plan for this song to play and a message to flash across the screen “(Name), you’ve got me levitating! Moonlight, starlight, be my date for prom night?”

    This is an oldie, but goodie! I would play the first 46 sec, then pop the question!

    I would be in disguise at the school cafeteria lunch line, probably serving navy beans and sloppy joes. When the prom target arrives at my station, I serve them a dish with a message “U + ME 2 PROM?” spelled out using the beans. Then i remove my hairnet, fake mustache & mole

    Okay, okay, we all know that Sadies is the reverse of prom in so many ways. But this song really spoke to me for this prompt nonetheless.

    Planetarium group outing! Flashmob is optional. The musical note falls from high to low, you ask the question, and when they say 'yes', everybody does a happy dance as the chorus comes in. Otherwise, comedic sad dance.

    If you don't want to back that azz up, then why are you even at prom?

    Classic Freudian slip... (this would've been an excellent pick for the Horn-y round, eh!)
