The worst songs?

My SIL had her 9-year-old daughter sing “My Heart Will Go On”. She missed a few notes, and was off-tune the whole way.

Bad Songs:

I Don’t Know How To Love Him
Fool For Your Lovin’

I think that David Lee Roth’s, “Medley: Just a Gigolo/I Ain’t Got Nobody”
is by far the worse song to play at a wedding…

I mean .. come on!!

My fiancee keeps joking about wanting to play “Eye of the Tiger” (not sure if that’s an Aussie song though). My vote “I want to make you sweat” by UB40

-Girl I want to make you sweat
-Sweat till you can’t sweat no more
-And if you cry out
-I’m gonna push it some, mo-o-ore

Ewwwwww

My vote (much belated) is ‘Dress Sexy At My Funeral” by Smog!

My fiance keeps threatening to have the DJ play “Why Don’t We Do It in the Road” off the Beatle’s White Album. I’ve told him absolutely not. His mother said ‘Good song. Play it and I kill you.’ I think he’s threatening just to get a rise out of me….

He also wants to play The Who’s “My Wife” at some point, because he thinks it’d be funny.

For us personally, “Don’t Stand So Close to Me” is never, ever being played near our wedding, either. Great song, but FH teaches high school. Bad song to play.

My parents’ friends played “Yesterday” by the Beatles at their wedding (in a joking manner, of course). “Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away, now it looks as though they’re here to stay…”

Another song I’ve heard at weddings that always makes me a little uncomfortable is “I’ll Cover You” from Rent. The lyrics are beautiful and all, but Collins sings that at his lover’s funeral. So… it’s a little creepy to me.

Wow, Ninjarina, those were just…I’m speechless. As you may have guessed, that takes some doing.

The Titanic cake really takes the, well, cake.

Oh, and the discussion of bad bridal music reminds me of the wedding where I had to cover a fit of hysterical laughter with a bad rendition of a coughing fit. Why? Because the tune the organist butchered as the groom and his attendants entered was Send In The Clowns!

The worst song I can imagine playing at a wedding I actually *did* hear played:

“Gonna Getcha’ Good” by Shania Twain

For those not familiar, she sings about how she will get this man any way she can. It was in extra poor taste because a) everyone knew the bride was pregnant and b) the DJ played it as the couple’s FIRST DANCE SONG instead of their requested “Forever and For Always.” Imagine the mortified couple, all alone on the dance floor, frozen in acute agony. The DJ explained later that he downloaded it off the internet and it was mislabeled. Yeah, that makes it and the fact that you were too busy eating to notice them not dancing *all better* – ouch.
