Hey-
was wondering what songs people may have heard at weddings that somehow just didn’t seem right?
On the other hand, what do you think would be the least appropriate wedding song?
The Wanderer?
Some that I think would be funny to hear at a wedding (and yet a tad inappropriate) include Ozzie’s ‘Crazy Train’ and G&R’s “Welcome to the Jungle” - good first dance songs, eh? 
Fairy Tale of New York, by the Pogues.
“White Wedding”, of course :^)
D-I-V-O-R-C-E
Achy-Breaky Heart
Hooker with a Penis (“You fucking WHORE!!!”)
“Highway to Hell”-AC/DC
“Suspicious Minds” by Elvis
Baby Got Back
Lesbian Eskimo Midget Left-Handed Ninja Albino (Dead Milkmen)
Your Pretty Face is going to Hell
Iggy and the Stooges
All my friends are married
Every Tom and Dick and Harry
You must be strong if you’re to go it alone
Here’s to the bachelors and the bowery bums
Those that feel that they’re the ones
That are better off without a wife
I like sleepin’ til the crack of noon
Midnight howlin’ at the moon
Goin’ out when I want to and I’m comin’ home when I please
Don’t have to ask permission
If I wanna go out fishin’
Never have to ask for the keys
Well I never been no Valentino
But I had a girl who lived in Reno
Left me for a trumpet player but it didn’t get me down
He was wanted for assault
Though he said it weren’t his fault
You know the coppers rode him right out of town
I been sleepin’ until the crack of noon
Midnight howlin’ at the moon
And I been goin’ out when I want to, comin’ home when I please
Don’t have to ask permission
If I wanna go out fishin’
Never have to ask for the keys
Well, ya see, I’m kinda selfish about my privacy
Now as long as I can with me
We get along so well I can’t even believe it
Love to chew the fat with folks
I been listening to all your dirty jokes
I’m so thankful for these friends I do receive
I been sleepin’ until the crack of noon
Midnight howlin’ at the moon
And I been goin’ out when I want to, comin’ home when I please
Don’t have to ask permission
If I wanna go out fishin’
Never have to ask for the keys, no
Say, I got this girl I know, man
She’s been married several times
I don’t wanna end up like her
I mean, she’s been married so many times
She’s got rice marks all over her face
Yeah, you know the kind…

“tee-hee…I get it.”
There’s one called Here Comes the Groom by John Wesley Harding with the line “He was unfaithful before he went outdoors”.
least appropriate?
‘the divorce song’ | liz phair
‘love will tear us apart’ | joy division
‘leave me alone’ | new order
‘better off alone’ | alice dj
‘the wrong girl’ | belle + sebastian
‘porcelain’ | moby
‘get naked’ | methods of mayhem
‘closer’ | NIN (actually, maybe that’s the MOST appropriate…)
of course, i’d prefer any of these lovely songs to anything by, say, Kool & the Gang, whose wedding playlist inclusion seems to be mandated by law.
I heard The Bad Touch by Bloodhound Gang at a wedding over the summer. It’s a song about anal sex, ferchrissake.
Howzabout the J. Geils Band classic, “Love Stinks”?
Let’s not forget the classic “Every Breath you Take” by the Police. It’s about stalking, people, not romance. Geez :rolleyes:
As a joke, the “Imperial Death March” from Star Wars was played at a friend’s wedding reception (bride and groom were both huge fans). Later I wondered how inappropriate that would have been if it had been played when the bride and her father were walking down the aisle…
A FOF used “My Heart Will Go On” from Titanic at her wedding. Okay, it might be a mushy/romantic kind of song, but do you really need to express how you will feel after your SO dies at the wedding? Sheesh.
I’m 'Enery the 8th I am
I’m 'Enery the 8th, I am, I am
etc.
Second verse same as the first
