[quote name='stoo' post='238500' date='Jul 13 2008, 01:15 PM']Was it the Beautiful South that did "Don't marry her, f**k me"?

That seems like a safe bet to avoid at a wedding gig. :huh:[/quote]

Indeed.

That is our second encore (Beautiful South tribute) but, thankfully, by that stage of the evening, most people seem to be blissfully unaware of the inappropriateness of the song. :) :huh:

[quote name='spinynorman' post='238869' date='Jul 14 2008, 12:52 AM']Hey little sister who is it you're with?
Hey little sister what's your vice and wish?
Hey little sister shot gun (oh yeah)
Hey little sister who's your superman?
Hey little sister shot gun!

Never struck me as a terribly good lyric for a wedding, but I gather it's quite popular. :)[/quote]
White Wedding? People love it despite the lyrics!

Here I Go Again by Whitesnake was a curious request we picked up a while ago.

Other ideas...

Britney "Oops i did it again"
50 ways to leave your lover
Run to the hills - Maiden
Bring your daughter to the slaughter - Maiden again
You make me feel like a wh*re - Everclear
Dude looks like a lady - Aerosmith
She's having my baby - Paul Anka

and my personal favourite... REM - the end of the world.

Our first dance at our wedding was to Coheed and Cambria's Wake up.

I love that song and think it is a beautiful piece to have played at a wedding, that is one of mine and my girlfriends "songs". I want it played if we ever get married, although there is the killing bit, but still beautiful.

My Immortal, Evanescence.

It's about time for the classic wedding story - the bride decided that she'd like to go out of the church to 'Robin Hood', thinking of the Bryan Adams number that we all know and love. No problem, says the organist.

As they walk down the aisle at the end of the service , the organ strikes up:

"Robin Hood, Robin Hood, Riding through the glen.
Robin Hood, Robin Hood, with his band of men,
Feared by the bad, loved by the good,
Robin Hood ..."

That reminds me about a night that our drummer was at a karaoke and wanted to sing that Police song. You know the one that has something about 'sending out an SOS' in the lyrics. Told the guy there what it was that he wanted and he ended up having to sing "SOS" by ABBA.


A Couple of Whitesnake ones to avoid - "here I go again (on my own)" and the classic "Would I lie to you? (just to get in your pants)"

Many people think that Nilsson's "Without You" and Bon Jovi's "Always" are first dance numbers. Listen to the lyrics people, they are about women leaving their men.

One to avoid putting on a CD for the break would be "smack my bitch up" by the Prodigy.

Wayne County and the Electric Chairs, I think, for "If you don't want to...". Although it might have been "So what?" that they did.

"Is she really going out with him" - Joe Jackson

"Jilted John" - Jilted John

"I hate everything about you" - Ugly Kid Joe

"50 ways to leave your lover" - Paul Simon

"Delilah" - Tom Jones

Wasn't there one song with the lyric "you can cook, you can fook, you can do the washing up"?


Come to think of it, "Cat's in the cradle" (Harry Chapin originally) probably wouldn't be ideal for a christening/naming.

Virtually anything by Nick Cave! eg "Loverman", "Red right hand", "Where the wild roses grow"

or worst of all "Sweet caress" by the Misfits:

"I got something to say
i killed your baby today
and it doesn't matter much to me as long as it's dead
well i got something to say
i raped your mother today and it doesn't matter much to me as long as she's spread
sweet lovely death i am waiting for your breath come sweet death, one last caress"

Charming

Hmmm Muscle Museum by Muse is probably a little innapropriate.

Can you see that I am needing
Begging for so much more
Than you could ever give
And I dont want you to adore me
Dont want you to ignore me
When it pleases you
And Ill do it on my own"


Or Maybe "You F****d up my life" by Blink 182.

And I suppose Girlfriend by Avril Lavigne wouldn't go down too well.

"Every breath you take" by The Police.

A lovely song on the surface but with seriously psycho lyrics....

Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
Ill be watching you

Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
Ill be watching you


Still one of my favourite songs ever though :)

It should have been me - Gladys Knight & THe Pips[/quote]


I'd love to play some 'Priest at a wedding - 'Painkiller' anyone ??!!!!!
