I think I've discovered the best Bad Choice of song for a bride and groom's first dance ever...

[solidgoldbrass]

Not that I have evidence of anyone actually being this stupid, but given that some people really don't listen to the lyrics of songs and just go by the title, can you imagine going to a wedding and seeing the B&G get up to Would you not piss yourself?

I went to a wedding where the first dance was to 'It's my life' by TalkTalk - not the least romantic song ever, but rather confrontational/pessimistic, no?

No idea if they're still together?

Up The Junction would be a good one.

Someone I work with had 'I don't feel like dancing' by the Scissor Sisters. No idea why.

I can confirm one of the worst first dance songs is 'it must be love' by Madness. Not because it's a bad song but because it's impossible to dance to. Chose it at my first wedding as the DJ announced at the last minute he didn't have our choice. So there's video footage of us shuffling around the dance floor in a really embarrassed way!

I think it's Breathe by Delilah (one of my favourite songs) but a wedding dance surely?

One of my best friends had Nothing Compares 2 U by Sinead O'Connor... Not exactly the most appropriate but hey.

Surely not...

Mine was "what have I done to deserve this" by the pet shop boys, does that make me odd? Everyone thought it most appropriate, we infuriate each other but know how to laugh at each other as well.

My friend told the DJ to play D.I.V.O.R.C.E as a joke. Her new DH was not amused.

As one of ours we had good riddance (time of your life) by greenday

I threatened to walk down the aisle to the theme tune from Jaws but the vicar wouldn't let me

Tunnel Of Love would be great. Was that Fun Boy Three?

I have always wanted to go a Wedding where Iron Maiden's Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter was the first dance.

my friend had the theme from doctor who for her first dance. special.

I have half jokingly suggested 'Gang Bang' by Black Lace (from Rita Sue and Bob too) for our first dance.

I think we will compramise on the theme from the hit 80s sitcom Brushstrokes.

we had fight the good fight as a hymn

vicar said he supposed it was ok if we were on the same side

Whoops, sorry if I fucked up the link, it was Heart: All I want to do is make love to you. Which is a song about shagging a random to get PG because her husband has no willy, or something. But I have heard of people having to be gently talked out of having the likes of Beautiful by James Blunt (the song's about how he's goign to kill himself cos he can't get the burd.)

What about "Bad Boys" by Wham? "Death by matrimonyyyyyy .... bam bam bam bam bam....." :o

"A daddy by the time you're 21
If you happy with a nappy
Then you're in for fun...." :o

OK rules - it's got ot be a song that people might just not have listened to properly. Otherwise everyone could win by suggesting Cannibal Corpse.

Every Breath you Take is another one - sounds so romantic and dreamy until you listen to the STALKER lyrics!

DH (jokingly I think ) wanted to have Ronan Keating's "you say it best when you say nothing at all" - in other words, STFU woman. I disagreed vocally. We nearly went with Huey Lewis and the News - "happy to be stuck with you" - which is more appropriate but still not great! had Blue Moon in the end (also not that easy to dance to!)

I wanted H to sing Mack the Knife as part of our entertainment as he does swing really well and I love that song. It was suggested that a song about a gangster killing someone and chucking them off a bridge in a bag of concrete might not be appropriate, so we nixed it :o

I did go to a wedding where the first dance was a surprise from the groom and was "isnt she lovely" by Stevie Wonder. Which is really nice, until you listen to the lyrics and realise he is singing about his new daughter! I was a bit when it was on Scrubs from Turk to Carla too!

There was a long "I will always love you" by Whitney Houston phase, which wasn't really appropriate as it's about how they can't be together.

My sister had that Shania Twain one about how everyone thought it wouldnt last but they've proved them wrong

"But just look at us holding on" etc

........they split up 18 mo later. Not good.

My cousin had that one Richman much to my sisters disgust as she had chosen it for her wedding a couple of months later.

My cousin was divorced within 2 years and my sister (who had another Shania song, something about "from this moment on") is still happily married 13 years later.
