iPhoto slideshow music ideas?

what's the theme of the pictures. (IE holidays, beach etc)

I've found this song good for some slideshows - not sure if it meets your requirements though. It has words, but you don't notice them.
It really depends on the pictures.

Only Time - Enya
iTMS link

I'll keep thinking

grrr. i have a few songs but it has lyrics. Why do you not want lyrics in the song?
the one thing i hate about iphoto slideshow is that putting music to certain pictures is a pain in the butt!

I'll take any suggestions, including those with lyrics. If it works it works. What were you thinking?

smash mouth - all star
kenny Chesney (sp) - young
beach boys - one of their beach/surfer songs
elvis - rubbernecking - paul oakenfold remix
depending on age if they are older/mood (ie funny pictures- simple plan - grow up
black eyed peas - lets get it started
john fogerty - centerfield - if u have baseball/sports theme pictures or queen we will rock you/we are the champions..
the explosion - here i am - depending on age
in the summer by i think mungo jerry
u mentioned Halloween..so the monster mash song

its hard to tell cause i don't know what kind of pictures you have....

edit try itunes essentials http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewMix?id=89366537&s=143441&wm=1

Couldn't think of anything better!

For the others, Jack Johnson? James *Shivers* Blunt? Something along that kind of genre?

Slideshows

Hi everyone,
Have you all tried to make slideshows in IMOVIE?
They work a lot better then in IPHOTO. YOu can control the music and you can add effects and titles.
You can get the music and photos from your itunes and iphoto right in Imovie.

its a lot of fun to play with you can put any music by creating a play list in your itunes and then you can select that play list with each slideshow. so you dont have to use the dfault music for every slideshow. You just need to create a itunes playlist and pick it.
