Inappropriate Songs That Always Seem to Be Played at Weddings

1 "I Will Survive," Gloria Gaynor (It's a breakup song, people.)
2 "Love the One You're With," Stephen Stills (Not exactly sending the right message to the newlyweds.)
3 "Brick House," The Commodores (That'll boost the bride's self-esteem.)
4 "Tainted Love," Soft Cell/Gloria Jones (You've got to run away, groom!)

can you think of anymore along these lines

Actually, it's not.

I watched a documentry about it a while ago.

It's about the songwriter and him losing his job at the studio he was working and how he thought he could survive on his own.

I can't remember the exact story, but it was along those lines and they said that people always thought it was about a breakup of a couple, but it wasn't.

Not quite the same as weddings, but I do some work for a local Hospital Radio stationa nd one of our most requested songs is "My Way" by Sinatra ('...and now, the end is near, and so I face, the final curtain'), and another is "Time to Say Goodbye" by Sara Brightman and Andrea Bocelli... Songs about passing on requested by patients in a hospital!

We have in the past, had two of the worlds greatest "junkie" songs requested as first dances

Lou Reed - Perfect day
& RHCP - Under the bridge

:offtopic: Do you think All Saints management were having a laugh at the girls expense when they told them to record UTB Coupled with a song about a Louisiana hooker (Lady Marmalade) ? :D :Laugh: :Laugh: :Laugh: :D :offtopic:

[Dragonfly]

eye of the tiger as a first dance once ....... its from a film about people beating 9 bells out of each other !!!!

[Corabar Steve]

The best I had was "You're the one that I want" the B&G even had a little dance routine worked out for it

[pagan_flame]

Had a B & G that were Durannies - wanted 'Save a Prayer' as their first dance until I pointed out that it's about having a one-night stand with a prostitute... :rolleyes:

...and then the legendary one where it was a Goth wedding on Hallowe'en, they had Type O Negative 'Black No 1' (look up the lyrics!)

[wensleydale]

i think the other point here is why play those songs anyway, regardless of what they are about as they are rubbish.

[axeman]

"spirit in the sky" - always makes me cringe when the old folk are dancing and joining in at weddings or at older folks b/day parties.

[Candybeatdiscos]

Imho?

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

Imho?

In my humble opinion.

Get with it man!:p

[Jiggles]

In my humble opinion.

Get with it man!:p

[wensleydale]

[Corabar Entertainment]

...and you are God and your opinion is fact?

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

no, they are offically rubbish

Does seem a strange comment coming from someone who prides himself on playing cheese:rolleyes:

[Have a disco]

hence the name wensleydale not a good cheese LOL

[Corabar Entertainment]

wensleydale not a good cheese LOLYou forgot to add "IMHO" :D :D :D

[Corabar Steve]

Crumbly!

[wensleydale]

there is most definitely good cheese and bad cheese.
fair enough, i can add the imho bit if it makes you happy (IMHO) but I would genuinely never play those songs.
especially gaynor.

especially gaynor.So - if the B & G requested one of those songs as their first dance - you would simply refuse to play it for them, despite the fact that the song obviously means a lot to them? :confused:

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

Seems awfully strange to me too!

[wensleydale]

not through choice is what i meant.......

[Candybeatdiscos]

You forgot to add "IMHO" :D :D :D
