blamelouis Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 We once played "youve lost that loving feeling " for the first dance ! And it was their request. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassicinstinct Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 [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. [/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.

Moody Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 When I got married, we had "Every Day I Love You Less And Less" by The Kaiser Chiefs. ....we're now separated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbass Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 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...

Col Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Once played "The Thrill Has Gone" at a 25th wedding anniversary - and I remember playing the Dawn Penn reggae song "No, No, No (you don't love me anymore)" as the first number at a wedding some years ago.

NJE Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 [quote name='Sarah5string' date='Jul 13 2008, 09:57 AM' post='238341'] 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete.young Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 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 ..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 (edited) 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. Edited July 14, 2008 by Delberthot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inyabass Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 "If you don't want to f**k me baby, baby f**k off" Don't know who this was by but it sounds like a good first dance number to me.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starvolt Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 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.

spinynorman Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Doesn't seem like there's much left that would be suitable, if you really think about it. Even "Wonderful Tonight" is about an alcoholic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tengu Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 My band is playing a wedding for a friend on Saturday. We have been asked to play "I don't want to talk about it" by Everything but the Girl. It is a lovely song but I'm dubious about the suitability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7string Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 "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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
