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?

'Isn't She Lovely' is a song about a newborn baby - " Isn't she lovely, less than one minute old...". It's actually a lovely happy song. To play for the birth of a DD. Not for a wedding unless you are having the wedding in the labour ward.

So it would certainly win a contest of Inappropriate Wedding Songs that people might not have listened to before choosing.

How about " it should have been me" about an ex girlfriend shouting out at a wedding that the bride had stolen her man.

I absolutely detest that song. It's a load of cheesy, melodramatic far-fetched old bollocks. The protagonist woman in the song behaves outrageously and whenever I hear it I want to slap her and pull her hair and shout GET A GRIP YOU SELF ABSORBED TWAT.

I'm talking about the song in the OP btw.

A relative of mind married a man who left his wife and children for her and they had "If I Fell" by the Beatles, which I am still at years later!

YABU.

Dh and I had 'Cyndi Lauper - Time after Time' which is about a break-up but we loved it anyway (and we're still together 14+ years married).

I've known couples have 'Aerosmith - I don't want to miss a thing' which is also from a father to his daughter but it's special to them and that's the main thing.

odd I didnt know that- I love the Aerosmith song.

DH and I had The Pretenders- Stand by You, even though I was a bit about "nothing you confess, could make me love you less". I think "I'm a fully paid up member of the BNP" could have had some consequences.

Going off on a slight tangent, but many many years ago I saw a newspaper advert promoting Milton Keynes. The ad included a sort of trivia quiz about Milton Keynes and one of the questions referred to 'Come to Milton Keynes' by Style Council. Obviously they hadn't read the lyrics

I would like to submit Babybird's 'You're Gorgeous' as an entry (have you read the lyrics ever?) - never heard it at a wedding, but a friend of mine insisted it was he & his then boyfriend's song - he'd obviously never listened to the words beyond the chorus... thankfully they split up before civil partnerships came in!

I was at a wedding where they had 'Secret Lovers' as the first dance. And 'Saving All My Love For You' at another - both about marrieds having affairs...

Our song was A Night Like This by the Cure. Despite the first line being "Say goodbye on a night like this", we both love the song for the line 'you're just the most gorgeously stupid thing I ever saw in the world', which DH used to sing to me (in an endearing manner, I hasten to add) :)

And I've just discovered he sings so loudly over it I've misheard it myself all these years - I just googled the lyrics there and it's actually "Your trust - the most gorgeously stupid thing I ever cut in the world" -

We've only been married 21 years..... [d'oh] I should have known, he always bloody well mishears lyrics!!

My musicians wanted to play Greensleeves for me to go down the aisle, but I said that it would have to be another piece because the words for that would go through my head and be inappropriate (and my sleeves would be blue) so we had La Pavane D'Angleterre.

my friend's wedding was heavily influenced by the Titanic film, cake was the prow of the ship with two little figures doing the "I'm flying, Jack" pose and the first dance was the theme song. I was thinking, but people die, HE dies, this can't be good. The marriage didn't last only slightly longer than the film!

How about 'Who's sorry now?' by Connie Francis?

because her husband has no willy...or something

Is it? how did I miss that? I thought he just had a low sperm count.

SGB are you sure you are not wishful thinking imagining the no willy thing?

My friend had candi staton's Young Hearts Run Free. She lived and thought it was wonderfully inappropriate

At the end of my wedding reception the DJ played 'Sit on my Face and Tell me You Love me' while laughing hysterically, I was pregnant and fucking mortified.

He was a cunt

I am just at some of these - and also loving being enlightened about some song meanings. The worst I heard was 'Young Hearts Run Free' by Candi Staton. Couple is still together though.

And in the morning when he woke all I left him was a note
I told him I am the flower you are the seed
We walked in the garden we planted a tree
Don't try to find me, please don't you dare
Just live in my memory, you'll always be there

Hahaha, what a joke. Imagine having some casual sex in a motel with a guy you picked up in your car, and leaving him a note like that. What are the chances of him wanting to try and find you after you've made yourself sound like slightly scary weirdo?

dp and i discussed the same thing wrt the british airways olympics advert using 'london calling'!

And didnt some politician use "Born in the USA" as his "rouse the voters to a patriotic fervour" theme tune? Not a great choice.

I love the line "Then it happened one day, we came round the same way
You can imagine his surprise when he saw his own eyes "

It is a truly appalling song!

Our first song was Welcome to the Jungle.

November Rain was first dance at my cousins wedding.

'nothing lasts forever...'

Arf at 'seeing his own eyes'. It's a MIRROR, you pillock.
