Inappropriate Wedding Songs

[bigMCben 0]

Just a bit of fun to get us through quiet and miserable January.

 

Give ONE song that you would consider 'inappropriate' as a first dance at a wedding

 

my suggestion is........

 

Phil Collins & Marilyn Martin - Separate Lives

[DJ Foureyes 0]

Living next door to Alice- Roy Chubby Brown?

[Robster 0]

Mr Brightside by the killers although i was asked for it , i did point out its lyrics but it was the song they met to on a dance floor

 

Killers guitarist Dave Keuning wrote the song about lead signer Brandon Flowers ex-girlfriend who cheated on him. Flowers recalled to Q magazine March 2009 how he discovered her with another man at the Crown and Anchor pub in his hometown of Las Vegas: "I was asleep and I knew something was wrong. I have these instincts. I went to the Crown and Anchor and my girlfriend was there with another guy." Flowers added that the song was "born" at the Crown and Anchor.

 

so its about cheating !!! not really appropriate for a first dance but if they wanted it , its there choice!

 

Now they're going to bed

And my stomach is sick

And it's all in my head

But she's touching his chest

Now, he takes off her dress

Now, letting me go

 

And I just can't look - it's killing me

And taking control

Jealousy, turning saints into the sea

swimming through sick lullabies

Choking on your alibis

But it's just the price I pay

Destiny is calling me

Open up my eager eyes

'˜Cause I'm Mr Brightside

I always feel guilty playing Young Hearts Run Free at weddings. I think one of the opening lines is "whats the point of sharing this one and only life"

 

I've been asked a couple of times to play "Somebody else's guy" by Jocelyn Brown at weddings but usually politely refuse just in case the requestee is a disgruntled ex.

 

I've played Gold Digger by Kanye West a few times at weddings and fortunately people have seen the funny side of it.

Lady Gagarararara - Bad Romance

Tina Turner - Private Dancer

Pink - Family Portrait

 

Believe it or not, there are people out there who think that 'Street Life' and 'Lady in Red' are songs about prostitutes :ads: . I've been approached by elderly members of the audience on both occasions, and chastised for playing unsavoury tracks .

 

If you read the lyrics of a lot of popular mainstream songs, we probably would have a very short and boring playlist . Seems that relationship breakdowns and being trapped in a bad marriage are very lucrative subjects for the pop world and selling music.

 

That also goes for most whining R 'n' B tracks too - if they aren't singing cheerfully about gangs blowing each other away, its nearly always a subject around / getting revenge on their other half walking out on them.

 

Well, its true

LOL, you do Weddings where the Bride and Groom invite their Ex's to their Wedding Reception?? :scared: . Damn, I have led a sheltered life :joe:

I did a friends wedding where her TWO previous husbands and her two ex boyfriends also turned up , her first wedding she got married in a black wedding dress.

She has 5 kids with four different dads she is currently getting divorced and her last boyfriend is moving out as she is bored with him after he has just decorated her house and bought her loads of new furniture and a cooker for xmas just gone. She is being named in a divorce of a new bloke she has found on the net by a disgruntled wife ..still its another engagement and wedding gig for me !!! I dont get that many repeat customers like this though!

Lady In Red - that's obviously not.

 

But Street Life (if you mean Randy Crawford rather than Roxy Music) I always thought was, and also about homelessness and drugs. Have I got that totally wrong?

 

 

There's always love for sale

A grown up fairy tale

Prince charming always smiles

Behind a silver spoon

And if you keep it young

Your song is always sung

Your love will pay your way beneath the silver moon

LOL, I always thought that this...

 

You never people see

Just do you wanna be

And every night you shine

Just like a superstar

The type of life that's played

A temptin' masquerade

You dress you walk you talk

You're who you think you are

 

Signified casino's and Theatres and Nightclubs and the nightlife and sights on a typical Amercian city street. Basically the glitter and glam of the superstar lifestyle and people seeking such.

 

.......thats another mellow buffet type track heading for the skip then. At this rate, we'll only have Cliff Richard and Take That tracks to play

Hi guys

 

I had a request by the bride and groom for George Michael - Careless Whisper followed by Tenacious D - F:cense: Her Gently. They wanted Tenacious D first but thought it would shock the elders in their families This is a couple who don't like conforming to much as they told me!! But it was a cracking party

Think I can possibly beat that, did an engagement, wedding and divorce party then another engagement for one couple (well just the guy for the last two) all in 9 months. Once the divorce comes through have been promised the wedding lol. Would have thought after all that he'd have chosen someone else - just in case. Best set of repeat business I've had from a private customer.

I did a Wedding in April, where the daughter was getting married, and both Stepdad and Birth Dad were at the reception, nothing strange about that you may think (although I was expecting punches to be thrown later), but what was strange was that both Husband and Ex-Husband got to smooch rather close and romantically with 'Mummy' at the end of the night.

 

I guess up in the wilds and remoteness of the hills, they have to share everything......
