Songs You Don't Want to Hear at Your Wedding

The day is finally here. Everything is going well. She looks beautiful. He looks great in his tux. The wedding party has done a great job. The meal is delicious, and it's good to see everyone. What could possibly go wrong? Have you thought about the music? Who knows what the DJ will put into the cd player. Will it be romantic or creepy? These are the songs that you don't want to hear.

"(I can't get no) Satisfaction"- Rolling Stones

Sure it's a great song. We all sing it if we catch it on the radio in the car. But I don't think this song will go over too well with the family, especially when everyone is blurting out the lyrics. We know that Mick is talking about satisfaction with life (kind of), but just the wording probably won't work on your wedding day.

"I Want to Sex You Up"- Color Me Badd

Remember the late nights in the clubs when this song would come on. Ahh, weren't the 80's great. Everyone would take to the floor. I don't think you'll get the same response from your aunts and uncles when the disco ball starts rotating and the bass starts thumping.

"Nookie"- Limp Bizkit

Hmmmm. This one should be self explanatory. Once again, it's one of those songs we sing when we hear it. For some strange reason I just don't think your wife, of the last hour and a half, would appreciate you singing "I did it for the Nookie......"

"Baby Got Back"- Sir Mix-A-Lot

"But Fonda ain't got a motor in the back of her Honda...." Ahhh the romance. Can't you picture the end of some romantic song like "Wind beneath My Wings" or " Have I Told You Lately", and the DJ just rolling into a little Sir Mix-A-Lot. Once again I don't think your newly married wife would appreciate the song let alone the dance that I am sure would come with it.

"Jessie's Girl"- Rick Springfield

This song just wouldn't work unless you actually did marry a girl who was with a guy named Jessie, and you stole her from him. Then again even if that was the case this song just doesn't seem appropriate for a wedding reception.

"The Bitch is Back"- Elton John

I not too sure how socially acceptable it is to have your wedding party dancing and singing "I can bitch, I can bitch, `cause I'm better than you, It's the way that I move, The things that I do". Then again maybe, but I still don't thing the elderly aunts and uncles would accept it.

"Centerfold"- J. Geils

"My blood runs cold, my memory has just been sold, Angel is a centerfold." We sing it in the car, in the shower, at the house, but we probably shouldn't sing it at the reception. Once again, it's kind of weird, but I just don't think the bride would like the DJ playing this. Even if she is a centerfold!!!

"I Touch Myself"- Divinyls

This is one of those songs that make you feel dirty just hearing it. I always feel like I need a shower. I think that if I were at a wedding and I saw someone's 80 year old aunt out on the dance floor singing this song, I would probably gouge out my eyes. "I love myself, I want you to love me." Hmmmmm..........

This was just a short list of many songs that probably are not that appropriate to play at a wedding reception. What you listen to in the privacy of your car or home is up to you. But, the idea of people all dressed up dancing and singing to some of these lyrics on one of the most wonderfully romantic days in your life is kind of scary.
