Non 'run of the mill' request

[ian8limelight]

I'd be interested to hear if anyone has recently had an non 'un of the mill' request at a Wedding/Function recently.

On Friday, I had one for 'Last Dance' by Donna Summer which went down a storm.

one of our DJs last night phoned in, somewhat concerned, after being asked to play "Smack My Bitch Up"... at a Wedding Reception!

Most of last nights requests, I'll post some in a while.

Had a request last night for Puff the Magic Dragon - silly arse!

We've just had a request sheet in for a wedding reception where they've added to the list of styles of music required with 'Metal' and 'Punk'.

Had a wedding request last night from one of the two ladies concerned for Agado, it went down a storm, whole place did the dance.
Must say it was the best disco I have done, was a bit worried for obvious reasons.
Also had request for I will always love you, put on the "Hex" remix (didn't know I had it) thought I had made a bad mistake at the start but it's brilliant, will play it on a regular basis now.

We just had a list for a wedding for "Indy and 80's mostly".
they want Stone Roses, Moloko, Dee-Lite etc.

Then they spoilt it with Abba, YMCA and a 1st dance of Andy Williams "Can't Take My Eyes Off You"

And what's wrong with that !!!!

[Corabar Entertainment]

Have to admit, I'm getting sick of the sight of "Andy Williams - Can't Take My Eyes Off You" on requests sheets at the moment..... it seems to be on every other one!!!

[ian8limelight]

Try and pursuade them to try the 'Boystown Gang' version, although I've not had a great deal of Andy Williams recently.

[Groove Spinner]

The most unusual I've had was for Elvis Presley's 'Suspicious Minds' - from a young lad at a 10th birthday party!

Had that as first dance tonight funnily enough!

As well as Beastie Boys, Kasabian, Vanilla Ice abd MC Hammer... :omg:

[Alex - Cream Ents]

Yes I had "Can't take my eyes off you" as 1st dance on Sat - although they specifically asked for the Andy "X Factor" Abraham version. Cheese it up.

Ho ho ho ho here comes the hammer....that's why we pray.

[Corabar Steve]

So has anyone else had some off the wall requests that worked as per Ian's oiginal question?

I'm sure we'd all be very rich if we had a £ for every time "Can't take my eyes off you" was requested
