Inappropriate songs for weddings

Original post by TrueLoveIn2008

Let's have a little fun.

What are some songs that would not be appropriate for a wedding? I heard one the other day on the radio and thought, oh how terrible this would be at a wedding!

Some from me:

Guns n Roses - I used to love her (but I had to kill her)

Allman Bros - Tied to the whipping post



I had others but can't remember them now!

I Will Survive...I never understood why this is such a popular song for weddings.




I hate this song...My mother loves it...It was her theme song, after my dad left.

OMG, that's one at the top of my 'do not play' list!



I'm going to add it to mine, right now! And in parentheses I'll put (even if the Bride's mother asks for it, NO).

I could just picture my grandma's face now.



Oh my god....This one is going on top of I Will Survive.

'I Want to F--- You Like an Animal' should NOT be played at weddings...



Agreed...this is totally inappropriate.

I really hate that Shout song....making people go to the floor and jump up....come on...enough with it. Plus, it reminds me of Animal House.

OMG, I have to ask my FH again...I could swear he told me he knew someone who walked into the Guns n Roses song or danced to it. Maybe I'm wrong, but I distinctly remember talking about this song with him and laughing.



WOW.

My friend told me that she went to a wedding once where the 1st dance song was 'Better Man' by Pearl Jam. On the surface, it sounds like a good choice - but I believe it's about a woman who is abused or maybe just 'settling' on a not-so-good guy because she doesn't think she can do any better. NOT a song I'd want for my wedding song!



I like this song and I made a mix cd for DH when we were first dating (ok so we were like 17) and put this song on it without thinking about the meaning....he was like (jokingly, of course), oh, so you can't find a better man? really? I was so embarassed He still makes fun of me for it 7 years later....when I was making the CDs for the cocktail hour he was like make sure you THINK about what songs you put on there!

Ugghh, I agree. I'm going to have to cut a little slack for some though. My junior bridesmaid and groomsman are going to want to do them. They were showing my cousin how to do the Cotton-eyed Joe. The Macarena is out for sure though!!! I cringe when I hear that!
