Killing / Freezing? You make it sound so “Richard Kuklinski-like”. I’ve always understood it to be about a vampire who promises eternal life to his beloved.
Erotic in a goth / fetish kinda way? Yeah, maybe.
A good “worst song @ a wedding”? Possibly - Especially given the fact it’ll be performed by a wedding band.
I’ll nominate John Prine’s “In Spite of Ourselves” - but only if that wedding singer you hired has a female back-up singer who can do a decent Iris DeMent impersonation.
I think it would be highly inappropriate to play “Adultery” by the Mentors at a wedding.
I’m horny for a chick that wears a ring
Because one-night stands are just a part of my thing
Marriage means nothing to me
I’m totally into adultery
The fact that these are songs that will be performed by a wedding band (as opposed to being spun by a DJ in a rented tux) makes “The Kiss” nomination even funnier.
I could just see this Adam Sandler-like guy up in front of a 5 piece band singing “Get you fucking voice out of my haed, I wish you were dead” with accompanying saxaphone and trumpet. I don’t even think Richard Cheese could make a Cure cover version sound good.
Some pipers report being asked to play “Amazing Grace” at weddings. Since it’s most commonly played at funerals, it seems an odd choice.
“Clumsy Lover” is a good piping tune for when piping the couple to the head table, or when they leave for the evening - but don’t know how many people would get it!
Take me out to the ball game
A complete nonsequitur. As Zippy the Pinhead used to say, “If you can’t say something nice, at least say something surreal.”
Fuck Her Gently - Tenacious D
Actually, now that I think about it, I would love to play that song at my wedding…buy my parents would disown me.
Also,
I Don’t Want You Back - Eamon
And then later,

A friend of mine is a church organist, and has gotten really, really tired of playing Andrew Lloyd Weber’s Pie Jesu at weddings at baptisms. He continually points out that this is funeral music, but nobody really seems to care.
Oh man, I hate that song - waaaay too depressing. (For those who haven’t heard it, it’s about a woman who stays with a guy she loves because she thinks she can’t find better. Sample from the chorus: “She lies and says she’s in love with him / Can’t find a better man”)
Silver Serpentine’s mention of Cold’s “Stupid Girl” reminded me of the song by the same name from Garbage.
How about “Every Breath You Take” by the Police? In an interview, Sting expressed his shock at how many people thought it was supposed to be a romantic song, when if you actually listen to the lyrics it’s talking about an obsession, or stalking behavior.
Keep it simple - the song for every occassion:
Highway To Hell
goes down a treat at funerals.
Good Lord - I hadn’t envisioned getting smacked in the ass :eek:! Thanks for the visual. I can just see myself, walking down the aisle as gracefully as I can manage in a gi-normous dress (it’s actually quite pretty, but definitely a hell of a lot larger than I’m used to), when all of a sudden someone out of the audience reaches over and slaps my ass so hard I fall over.
Fortunately that won’t happen because, no, we’re not playing the song remotely near the time of the ceremony. I think that’ll be one of the songs we play when everyone’s already good & drunk.
That might actually become a trend at both modern weddings & funerals!
How about:
It’s Over by Loverboy
He can’t love you by The Michael Stanley Band
The Bitch is Back By Elton John
Dammit - that should have said “…stays with a guy she doesn’t love…”
Well I don’t think this would go down very well
Old 97 - Designs on You
"Standing on the corner of 6th and How To Forget
Trying to do right by you all night Annette
You can go ahead and get married
and this will be our secret thing
I won’t tell a soul except the people in the nightclub where I sing
I don’t want to get you all worked up
Except secretly I do
I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have designs on you "
…especially if they had wedding singer…
On the other hand I’d have to think lots of the stuff I’m planning to play at my wedding would be considered inappropriate…hey, some people might not think “I Wanna Be Your Dog” is a romantic sentimate, but some of us do :).
And while we’re at it…I wouldn’t play “Fat Bottomed Girls” ‘cuz I don’t like Queen but…we do make the rockin’ world go round, that’s one of the reasons he wants to marry me, so seems perfectly appropriate to me 
Either Inna Godda Da Veda, or
*Fat Boy Slim is fucking in heaven
Fucking in heaven
Fucking in heaven…[i/]
I was making up some CD’s for the wedding of a pair of good friends of mine. I occasionally joked about putting Darth Vader’s theme on for the bride’s processional.
“Friends,” by Michael W. Smith, was performed at the wedding of a couple I know. It struck me as a very, umm, odd choice.
Actually heard at my brother-in-law’s wedding (apparently requested by the bride!): “I Will Survive” by Gloria Gaynor:
What happened to the “dubious” smiley, anyway?
I don’t know if I can name the worst. How about a few that are inappropriate?
