What is the dumbest wedding music you've ever heard?

[Mattie_Blue]

Several years ago I went to a wedding where the first dance was to Carole King’s “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?” :dubious: Always thought it was about a one-night stand.

You’re not accounting for the possibility that some random asshole would make an off-color joke about the song, though.

Same thing could be said about “Happy Birthday”.

My wife and I had our wedding day first dance to Prince’s “Diamonds and Pearls”.

“Nothing wrong with that” you may say.
“Good choice” you may also say.
“The sentiment and the music match the mood of a wedding day” would also be a reasonable response.

That is all true but by choosing that song and handing the relevant cd to the DJ I also gave him the equivalent of a sweary time-bomb as he popped it on as background music when all the guests started filing in.
As one song started fading out my wife turned to me with arched eyebrows and asked pointedly if I could remember what the next song was.
I mentally fast-forwarded and then made my way rapidly to the booth to hit “pause” before the dulcet tones of “Sexy Mother-Fucker” came wafting to the dainty ears of relatives young and old.

I confess, half of me wanted to just let it play. That sense of humour is one of the reasons my wife married me. The other half of me thought better of it in that situation and that’s probably the reason why I am still married to her. (21 years and counting)

Threadjack: My brother patronizes a certain local hardware store, in part because they play really great music on the overhead PA. It’s probably a satellite channel, and it’s usually early 1980s New Wave. One evening, he was in there picking up a few things, and heard the Buzzcocks’ “Orgasm Addict”. Not something someone would expect to hear at a hardware store!

But then again, when I worked at the 24-hour grocery store, the overnight crew would sometimes turn the satellite radio to some rather…unconventional…grocery store music. I once opened the pharmacy at 7:55am to the tune of King Crimson’s “In The Court of the Crimson King.” I’ve never taken acid, but it almost made me want to.
