Good list! We specified no Build me up Buttercup by The Foundations. Should’ve added Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran.

BananaNirvana · 15/10/2024 22:19

How can you miss Hi Ho Silver Lining?? 😄

Emotionalsupporthamster · 15/10/2024 22:24

Oh god Amarillo as well. We specified that.

We supplied a 6 hour playlist for our 4 hour evening 8-12pm. The DJ was free to pick and choose but not deviate. He was happy with that.

yes we did this!! It was a second marriage and we were all in our 40/50/60s. so the music was right for the crowd - it was really popular and occasionally still gets mentioned!

Someone bribed the DJ into playing Never Gonna Give You Up (Rick Astley) at my wedding. 😅

Torememberwhenlifewasbetter · 15/10/2024 23:50

I don't get the hate for Come on Eileen, it's joyous, I've always loved it. Maybe it's just been overplayed? Also love Mr Brightside. The others are fair enough!

Livelaughlurgy · 16/10/2024 00:00

Rock the Boat- it's the only one I banned.

Torememberwhenlifewasbetter · 16/10/2024 00:03

@NooNakedJacuzziness It reminds me of being a child and many drunken, smokey parties/receptions

saltandvinegarchipsticks · 16/10/2024 00:04

I hired a jukebox and chose all the songs that were pre-loaded on to it. Sorted.

He11oKitty · 16/10/2024 00:41

Gold digger - Kanye west ;)

oh, and single ladies by Beyoncé. Both of these were on our banned list 😅

Nooo! I requested this was our final song of the night! Love Tina.

Band of gold. Title sounds as if it might be appropriate but if you listen to the lyrics it really isn't

Everything0Everywhere · 16/10/2024 07:02

Any megamix e.g. Grease, Five

Agree! I love Come on Eileen. My Nan was called Eileen so takes me back to family knees-ups gone by
