Pye in the Face

The 4 weddings (but hopefully not a funeral) I am attending in September have got me thinking about ways to possibly inject a little bit of fun into the proceedings. I’m lying - I am compiling a viral piece for a client and am looking for input. So I’ll put the question to you like this:

What is the most inappropriate song you can think of to be played during a wedding ceremony or reception?

So if you could request and possibly sneak one song past the filter of a wedding DJ, what’s the most cringe-worthy tune you can think of? A few pop into my mind immediately.

I’m not talking about 2 Live Crew inappropriate. I’m looking for songs that might seem to jinx or doom the happy couple specifically. Have some fun with this, and I look forward to your suggestions and comments. Update: Here is the list I’m going to run with.

• Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now – The Smiths
• Separate Ways – Journey
• Love Will Tear Us Apart – Joy Division
• I Don’t Love Anyone – Belle and Sebastian
• A Man Needs A Maid – Neil Young
• A Quick One, While He’s Away – The Who
• I Am Trying To Break Your Heart – Wilco
• 50 Ways to Leave your Lover – Paul Simon
• Suspicious Minds – Elvis Presley
• D-I-V-O-R-C-E – Tammy Wynette
• I Hate Everything About You – Ugly Kid Joe
• Run for Your Life – The Beatles
• All my Exes Live in Texas – George Strait
• You Give Love A Bad Name – Bon Jovi
• Better Man – Pearl Jam
• Wicked Game – Chris Issac
• It’s the End of the World as we Know it – REM
• She’s Having My Baby – Paul Anka
• Another One Bites the Dust – Queen
• If you Want to be Happy for the Rest of Your Life – Jimmy Soul

Thank you all for your suggestions, and I will let you know when the finished piece is live. The final version will have funny write-ups about each song, YouTube Videos and lyric snippets.
