Not-too-mushy sibling wedding songs for brothers and sisters

We are eloping and plan to send out our wedding announcement with a mix CD with tribute songs to those with whom we are close. We both have sisters and are hoping to find an appropriate song for them.

Any offbeat suggestions for sibling wedding songs?

I went on a hunt for less trite sibling wedding songs and definitely ran into some. Although in some cases, those sappy songs are actually kind of perfect? For instance, I LOVE “When We Grow Up” even those it's schmaltzy as hell. Give me that Michael Jackson version any day. This list focuses a lot on songs that are either about siblings or long-time friendship, which is often the basis of wanting to celebrate a sibling relationship. Hopefully there's a non-cheesy one here to snag.

Otherwise, fellow readers: what offbeat or unique sibling weddings songs for brothers and sisters can you recommend? Theses would also be great for friend dances, too!
