It's your wedding day.

The disco is about to start and the DJ asks you if there are any songs that you don't want him to play.

Of all the crap songs that wedding DJs normally play, which 3 do you hate so much that you would specifically ask for them not to be played* at you own wedding?

Mine are...

It's Raining Men
Y.M.C.A.
Angels**






* If your DJ is a tosser, he will probably play them anyway. If he is a real tosser, he will dedicate them to you.

** This is a hypothetical list. I am not planning on actually getting married (before Shadow Leader makes some smart-arsed comment)
 
Summer of 69
Walking on Sunshine
Anything that makes middle aged men make "letters" with their hands :o
 
Wedding discos? God, what dreadful memories that brings back... no, not mine! A friend, long screamingly desperate to marry her lurve of several years, inflicted this appalling treatment on her guests, following a lengthy, but romantic ceremony and a gorgeous dinner. Surely, it's more than enough effort to remain looking half-decent and not break the crockery and overturn chairs? But no, we were forced to 'spontaneously' prance and dance with little kids, toothless gramps, and very, very overboisterous and 'handy' male relatives. Shoes got stamped on, people fell over, kids got dizzy and went off to be sick... my advice is, never mind the songs, just don't do this!
 
I recently got married (less than three weeks ago). The band were brilliant. They listened to my pleas not to play pap and concentrated on stuff like Johnnie Cash (Ring of Fire), which went down very well with the guests, who were mainly in their late '20s and early '30s.

The DJ was an absolute nightmare. I gave him a list of 30 songs, which I knew would go down well with the crowd. Stuff like Pulp, Bucketheads, Outkast, Sweet Child of Mine, etc. I specifically stated no Abba. First thing he does is play an Abba medley. Nobody danced, in spite of the fact that the band had nicely warmed up the guests.

Any time he played music from my list, people got up and danced. He even played Brian Adams (that shite from Robin Hood). He made a few announcements over the mic about how "by special request of the groom, I have been asked to stop playing slow sets".
 
What a selfish **** . Did he play Agadoo ?

I can't abide that song from Bryan Adams - all you need to top it is that awful Wet Wet Wet song from Four Weddings and Will Young's Evergreen.
 
On the basis that it would take some cracking toy girl to tempt me in to a second bout then at the wedding I would prefer not to hear:
He's not your Daddy(Peter Kaye advert)
YMCA
Birdy Song.
 
When I got married in 2002 there was the usual discussion about what song the band would play first.Come the day of the wedding and their was still no decision.The band said they would take care of it and play something appropriate and tasteful.
We were called into the hall to the usual round of applause and then the band started playing "One day at a time" which is considered something of a theme song for recovering alcoholics.You can see it on the video 200 people with a wtf expression on their face.They continued on like that for the night-as a friend of mine said "so bad they were good".

You know me so well!!!!!!! Naturally, my first thought was that K had persuaded you to pop the question!!!!!
 
Our chambers is now terribly slick with Marketing Manager , all singing all dancing website and trendy parties in Manchester venues with white wine and canapes . A long way from our first party in 1999 when shortly after setting we ended up with staff from the county court spannered on Becks and doing karaoke when the DJ wasn't doing Abba and Rick Astley ( probably the bloke from BTB's wedding ) . A drunk female solicitor trying to get off with any available man and a trainee solicitor passed out in the toilet .

Happy days - those of us in chambers then enjoyed that party miles more than our recent ones and still talk about it .

Don't have a disco at your wedding, they're really naff.

Have a live band or do without.

Do without a wedding? That's a little drastic, surely? :o :o
