I have a friend who has filmed weddings, he tells me “I did one wedding where the DJhad been playing a fair bit of country music, as he’d been told the bride/groom liked it. Trouble was, it was a joke, and they hated it - was about an hour before he found out”

Fats Waller - [Your Feets’ too Big](http://www.stlyrics.com/lyrics/bekindrewind/yourfeetstoobig.htm)

Actually, almost everything by Fats Waller.

You must be Losin’ Your Mind  
All that Meat and No Potatoes (Assuming th ebride is not big-busted, of course)  
How can You Face Me?

You could pretty much just put an album on while you eat!

(I haven’t read the thread past this post)

I wanted to start a “Worst wedding song” thread ever since I was driving home after a wedding and “Better Man” was playing on the radio. I just never got around to doing it.

BTW, at my brother’s wedding the DJ played Meatloaf’s “Paradise by the Dashboard Light” and said that it was a wedding tradition. I had never heard of this “tradition” and thought that the song was a little bit inappropriate.
