[He Hit Me (And It Felt Like A Kiss) by The Crystals.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f20Oz9Yr_So) Such a beautiful song celebrating domestic violence and a woman who recognizes her place after possibly cheating or looking at another guy the wrong way, saying that being hit feels like a kiss, and she likes it. Best wedding song ever! ---

> [@denquixote](#): > > He Stopped Loving Her Today may be the best country song of all time, but it is anything but lighthearted. I would say it is totally inappropriate even if everyone knows your sense of humor. I talked it over with the bride’s father. He thought it would be hilarious. I might use it in a “I don’t know much about country music so I just downloaded a few songs from a list of top country songs I found on the internet” and edit it so that it starts with the chorus, play a few lines (get laughs hopefully) and then stop. Then maybe move to the chorus of D-I-V-O-R-C-E. ---

[I Hate My Life](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oxaberFIvw) is another song by Theory of a Deadman that might fit. But I really came here to suggest [If You Leave Me, Can I Come Too?](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSGtg26-TpU) by Mental As Anything. Catchy melody and danceability. ---
