You Forgot to mention Rude By MAGIC!

[@EricaShady10171972]

Number one better be The Police. "Every Breath you take "💃💃

[@Showtunediva]

Good Riddance (Time Of Your Live) is more suited for graduations & not weddings.

[@ShadyRK9]

Why is Green Day's "Good Riddance" even in the Honorable mentions?! The song is literally about a bitter break up and the person is basically saying "I hope you well with your life but as long as you're not in mine I don't care!" Why would anyone suggest this as a wedding song?! 🤦🤦🤦

[@jeffsanders3453]

The people who play these songs at weddings are the same folks who play “Fortunate Son” and “Born In The USA” during the 4th of July but not ironically. 😂😂

[@amberjohnson4820]

Or back in the 80’s when the government used the song “War (what is it good for)” by Edwin Starr to get more recruits to sign up and join the armed forces. Not the message the Army/Navy/Marines/Air Force/National Guard really wanted to send because some dunder-head didn’t listen to the lyrics correctly! 🤣😅😆

😂

[@tyrannosaurusburke]

I would have also included any version of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah", especially since one of the lyrics is "Love is not a victory march; It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah". One of my uncles had that song (the Rufus Wainwright version) as his first dance with his new wife, and they divorced 7 years later.

[@theasinclaire52]

You know what's even more bizarre? Hearing this song at CHRISTMAS. It's not a happy "buy our stuff for your family" song. Yet, I hear it in stores.

[@Julesb2183]

It's about a bad break up with someone who was cold, so correct.

[@vanityplates3125]

Yes! Thank you!! Love the song, but not for a love song reason.

[@franksmith7235]

Pentatonix once sang it on a televised Disney wedding as the bride walked down the aisle. So wrong!

After Hallelujah was performed at an Olympic opening ceremony I agree (Vancouver 2010 if you’re wondering what Olympiad it was)

[@stephanieevans9223]

I’m a professional party DJ and I do a lot of weddings, and I can tell you 2 things; 1) if the wedding party chooses these songs, even if you know they’re really not romantic, YOU PLAY THEM!!!! and 2) there always comes a point in the evening when the guests are drunk and want to party to the stuff they grew up with, regardless of what the lyrics actually mean, and in that moment, almost nothing is off limits. It’s a great job 😂

[@MsMojo]

Hahaha! Sounds like a super fun job Stephanie!

Lips of an Angel by Hinder. It’s literally about a guy who’s in a relationship, but wants to get back together with his ex. Went to see them in concert and they even commented on it saying “people play this at their weddings and they really shouldn’t. Guys don’t do that!”

[@jenfripps7025]

Isn't that song obvious that it shouldn't be played at weddings? I'm just as shocked like the fact that You're Beautiful by James Blunt was also played at weddings. XD

[@melodyblackhall6702]

The panic at the disco I write sins not tragedies honorable mention! Omfg🤣🤣🤣

[@MsMojo]

This played at my sister's wedding and we all went HARD on the dance floor! Hahaha

[@MrGUnit27]

Another honourable mention should've been "Hey Ya" by Outkast. It's a great song that's fun to dance to, but it's also about a couple in a loveless marriage who want to break up, but feel the need to stay together because of social pressure. Still a banger though

[@aliendragons_corruptedSoul]

Oof.

[@stellastarlight615]

When I hardly understood any english, I considered "Every breath you take" as a romantic song too. Now that I speak and understand english quiet well, I think it has a stalker vibe on it.

[@ladykoiwolfe]

It truly does. My mom was a teen with a stalker at the time it came out and she both appreciated and hated the song because it perfectly encapsulated his personality. It was the first time she felt like someone underood.

[@jennyfab312]

I disagree agree. There is nothing romantic about it. ESPECIALLY to women.

[@ladykoiwolfe]

@@jennyfab312 that's what we're both saying. Stella said she only thought that when she didn't really understand the words.

[@aliciablackman2981]

Same

[@59771006]

It is about a stalker

[@twwtheovaloffice]

"Saving All My Love for You." It's literally about a woman who's dating a married man, but she won't go out with anyone else because she's 'saving all her love' for him. It's amazing how many people think it's romantic or wedding-worthy though.

[@eleven2614]

The Macarena deserves and honorable mention. Seriously.

[@sharonjensen3016]

[@allanfelipe766]

Love is an open door, from the Frozen soundtrack, was played at my sister's wedding. I was very confused until she explained that it was chosen by the flower girl, who was 5 and loved Frozen

However, since the "one artist one song rules" I'd prefer "It's all coming back to me now" On the list though.... 😅😅

[@moviegal6000]

I explained "Every Breath You Take" to a friend once and they were like "Man that's dark." Hells ya it is! Not wedding appropriate! Lol

[@MsMojo]

LOL right!

[@TaraLyz]

I would argue that it IS a good funeral song though, as long as you believe in an afterlife. Not the best example by any means, but if you think about some of the lyrics in the right way it does work. I heard it playing on the radio as my mom and I were heading to my great grandmother's grave on the 10th anniversary of her passing & it actually gave me some comfort thinking that she knew how I was feeling missing having her in my life & that she was watching over me, whether I could feel her with me or not. I still get emotional everytime I hear that song six years later.

[@jennyfab312]

My cousin had Iris for her first dance! It seemed to work for her-still married(I think 11 years this year)and 2 lovely kids. It worked for them...

[@ZephyrLily-ry1el]

I had it on my wedding playlist because it reminded us of the struggles of our long distance relationship.

[@sallybackhaus8234]

If you're avoiding it for the movie, when the love interest is asked if the short relationship was worth the pain getting to it and the tragedy during it, he says, "Yes, even the little time he got with her was worth it." So, it also could be taken to show love that goes on forever.

[@amyheer7524]

I think the worst song I heard at a wedding was "Jolene". As much as I love Dolly Parton, I can't imagine anyone dumb enough to play this at a wedding.

[@karenshaw292]

Back in the 70’s, I went to a family wedding. The bride and groom entered the reception to “The Lady is a Tramp”! It was not done intentionally but just a dumb oversight. I was in hysterics.

[@remyfacade]

"Saving All My Love for You" by Whitney Houston, is a horrible wedding song. it's about infidelity. People need to realize songs are more than just their title.

[@Thegazelle1000]

People need to listen to the lyrics very well.

[@jennyfab312]

@@Thegazelle1000 after 1981, people only watched the videos

[@Dollymania]

Although I will Always Love You is No. 2, Dolly actually wrote alternative lyrics for people to use at weddings, but most people aren’t aware of that: "On this, our wedding day, I pledge my love to you always. And through the years, Our love will show, As together we watch our future grow. And I will always love you. I will always love you. Making memories, through the years, I will share your smile and dry your tears. We'll make plans. We'll see them though. Come what may, I'm always here for you. And I will always love you. I will always love you. I hope life treats you kind. And I hope you have all you ever dreamed of. I wish you joy, and happiness. But above all of this, I wish you love. And I will always love you. I will always love you."

[@missdeejay]

Wow, I didn't know this!

[@ladykoiwolfe]

Those are lovely.

[@antithoughtpolice7497]

Dolly's too good

[@dominicsanimatedreviews5966]

I really like Whitney's version of I Will Always Love You. Her vocals make it great, But Dolly's original gives the idea of how sad a song it really is which gives it some edge to me (plus exposure since my family always loved Dolly)

[@remyfacade]

As a black man I know I'm in the minority but I feel overall Dolly's version is superior overall because it's a break up song and the way it's sung you feel that because I are forced to listen to the words.with Whitney's version because the vocals are so powerful you can only focus on the voice and the title of the song.

[@tahraethestoryteller6079]

Like how John Clarence Stuart and India de Beaufort did for Happier on Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist

[@alucard00774]

Both of them are legendary in their own ways and used for different causes. I don't think that a comparison would have been fair.

[@ladykoiwolfe]

@@alucard00774 I can agree both are legendary. To me Dolly's will always be superior, not only because of how deeply the feelings come through, but also because I really can't handle the high pitched notes Whitney hits which the song does not need. I do enjoy the rest of her rendition though.

[@CassiBlack]

I’m not sure if it was played at their wedding, but my parents have always called “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” by The Rolling Stones their song. I accidentally “ruined” it for them when I pointed out as a kid that it’s basically about settling for someone/thing you didn’t actually want in the first place… As I got older and heard more of the story of how they met and started dating, it was actually pretty fitting. They were both with someone else and broke up with them to be together (“you get what you need”).

[@theresecallahan8548]

At a wedding I attended in 1981, the band played "Another One Bites The Dust" and "Somebody's Knocking."

I got married during a freak October snowstorm. I remember making a beeline for the DJ before the guests got to the reception hall just to see if he had it on him to play. Because it really WAS a nice day for a very literal "White Wedding"! LoL

Now I know why "Every Breath You Take" was chosen for the end of Stranger Things 2 with the Mind Flayer stalking the kids at the middle school dance from the Upside Down.

[@carr0760]

Never, ever, play ABBA’s Knowing Me, Knowing You! That was almost played at my parents wedding, because nobody planning the wedding understood the words as they all spoke Spanish. Luckily, they changed the song shortly after they found out, “Breaking up is never easy I know, but I have to go. Knowing me, knowing you, it’s the best I can do.”! They will be celebrating 20 years of marriage this year.

[@patrickhobbs96]

Save Tonight, by Eagle Eye Cherry, sounds like it's about love but he's leaving. "Come tomorrow, I'll be gone." Definitely NOT good for a wedding!

[@mymylullaby]

I thought it was about going to jail, based on the video, or maybe that he's dying in the immediate future? "Tomorrow comes with one desire, to take me away"

We had a DJ who kind of did his own thing. He did play Can't Help Falling in Love for our first dance, but he didn't play the song we requested for my grandparents. (We got married in their 50th anniversary.) What remains the most memorable song choice was when we came back in from having some photos taken and he was playing You've Lost That Loving Feeling. That was in 1989 and we're still married despite that unfortunate song that we didn't request.

[@Stanty16]

The one addition I'd make to this list is "Me and Mrs Jones", which I have absolutely attended weddings where it was played, and it is definitely about a guy having a secret affair with a married woman

Carly Simon's "That's the Way I've Always Heard It Should Be." She's been asked to play it at weddings by people who only heard the line, "We'll marry." They missed the bits about her married friends-- "Their children hate them for the things they're not / They hate themselves for what they are...." or "The couples cling and claw, and drown in love's debris."

[@christigmc]

“Don’t Cha” the one that goes “Don’t cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me” Someone requested it at my wedding and it got played. My husband and I both agree. Very inappropriate song to play at a wedding.

[@toddmccreary4579]

I felt pretty sure of #1. However I really wouldn't think of Heard It Through the Grapevine being a wedding song. When the words starting out "Well I bet you're wonderin how I knew bout your plans to make me blue.' Clearly just about every word of the song would tell most people it's not a wedding song. I don't know why you think anybody would mistake it for a wedding song. Same with I Will Survive. Obvious that it's a breakup song that started out like it was a mistake but later she said ahh hell no. The others have lyrics that can be misunderstood. But those are pretty clear. It's not that the songs aren't inappropriate for a wedding. I just wonder who would think they weren't.

[@charminsavage2512]

The funniest one I've seen is the first dance to (I'm gonna be) 500 miles by The Proclaimers...the parents were not amused, but all the friends knew it was because they met when the guy literally held the hair back of a random gal vomiting in the bushes at a party and the song was playing in the background. Must have been a good choice, they've been together for over 30 years...and now I feel old lol.

[@rondamorris3550]

And now I feel old! My son turns 33 this year and he sings that all the time (we also duet to Mockingbird so you can see we have varied musical tastes lol) and I’m sitting here thinking “that song isn’t that old yet is it? Oh hell, when did I turn 53?!?” 😂

[@Jimmersaunt]

I once heard Landslide at a wedding-ah, that’s a song about impending disaster.

[@Jimmersaunt]

When I first heard Every Breath You Take, I did think it was romantic. Then the soap opera All My Children used it in a stalker plot line and then I couldn’t unhear the stalker implications in the song. They did this when the song first came out so they either knew or at least guessed at the real meaning of the song.

I'm glad I'm in synch with you guys, because the two songs I thought about when I started to watch this video were "My heart will go on" and "Every breath you take". There's a brazilian song that a guy wrote when his band partner died in a car crash, called "sou eu assim sem você" - translates something like "this is me without you". Oh, so cute, some might think. But he just lists things like airplane without wings, Romeo without Juliette, or soccer without a ball. And the chorus goes something like "I don't exist without you and loneliness is my worst punishment. I count the hours so I can see you, but the clock is no friend of mine". And yet, I've seen people say thay would play it at their weddings...

When I found out, I asked this person, "dude, why did you and your bride dance to a song about European Doomsday, and waiting for either the Soviets or the Americans annihilating humankind with nuclear weapons???" He said, "I hadn't heard the lyrics, but I liked the melody, and it was suited for a wedding dance". 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

[@michaelgonzales1906]

Run To You by Brian Adams, if played at a wedding, it would imply he married his mistress or is thinking about someone else

[@ShadyRK9]

Hi! 👋 Also I hear #1 almost everywhere! Despite it literally being a Stalker song that someone would listen to before kidnapping and possibly killing you! ☠️

[@stephaniemetz4947]

Went to a wedding where the first dance was Part Time Lover by Stevie Wonder. Years later, the couple broke up because the husband was cheating.

[@bbsdollsandtvarchive]

You’re Beautiful is certainly not a romantic song. This is more like a s*icide song.

[@SarahMcNabb16]

Hi I thought so too??

[@kylew4675]

At a cousins wedding, her new husband danced with his mum to Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton....it was very creepy. At a different cousins wedding, they played the Game of Thrones theme song...a bunch of us started looking around wondering if we were about to die.

[@Steffu]

Funny because Iris is Avril Lavigne's favouritest songs in the whole world and she even danced to it at her first wedding

[@johnrutkowski4166]

#1 was performed at Phyllis’s wedding in The Office

[@truediva18]

Bodies by Drowning Pool, Hey Ya by Outkast, Blurred Lines, The Electric Slide, anything by R. Kelly, Set Fire to the Rain.

[@cecilbob5612]

Darn, I was hoping to get Rick rolled.

[@jimbob2427]

You by Miley Cyrus is a great new one to have at a wedding

[@jwindsor6274]

I love a thousand years by Christina Perri but I told my bf it can't be at our wedding bc its too generic lol

[@dw89music73]

My sister had that song played at her wedding. Not to mention that Christina Perri is quite popular in my home country.

[@tessajones9393]

Omg I've been to two weddings and they both had that as their song. Years apart the wedding was too. I hate it now haha

[@fictional-girl_05]

Okay now that’s a better song for a wedding.

[@alleyrose5807]

Omg 😆. Was just discussing this with friends today.

[@essienbaruti1388]

I'm surprised "hey yeah" by outkast wasn't on the list

[@julianaylor4351]

If a couple love U2, there are many proper love songs like One. Always by Bon Jovi might work at a wedding which is a remarriage. Some of these songs belong at a divorce party. Nevermind the Police I'll Be Watching You, an even worse stalker song than it or James Blunt's Your Beautiful, is In The Air Tonight by Phil Collins.

[@lilletrille1892]

I once saw a CD "the ultimate wedding collection" featuring "Love and Marriage". This was back in the day when " Married with Children" was popular!

[@DKGNY_]

That was played when we were cutting our cake 😂

[@alexhidalgo7110]

Number one is my favorite song of all time love it so much

[@charliep123]

Number eight is mine

[@theasinclaire52]

I was at a wedding pre-Covid where they played "Hey There Delilah". Um, the story behind the song is creepy. Delilah was a real person the singer was instantly attracted to but not dating. He didn't ask her permission he just told her he was going to write about her. I can only imagine what her bf at the time thought.

[@cassandraspoelhof3752]

I hate that song so much. IDK Y I just absolutely loathe it. Same goes for the song “Redneck Yacht Club”. GOD I HATE THOSE TWO SONGS WITH A PASSION! There are other songs I hate but I actually know why. I hate “Baby Got Back” because of the subject matter and I hate “Angel” because of the episode of Secret Life that featured that song.😭

[@tessajones9393]

I hate that song!! I don't know why either it just infuriated me haha

[@makipizon]

I will be pissed off If I was Delilah and I'll asked for royalties. Lol

[@jennyfab312]

@@cassandraspoelhof3752 which "Angel" song? There's many and i don't want to rewatch

[@cassandraspoelhof3752]

@@jennyfab312 The one by Sarah Mcgaulclin (apologies if I misspelled that). It was played in the episode titled “… Or Not To Be”.

[@CynthiaJFinnegan]

Here's some more: Time In a Bottle, Jim Croce Hey Ya, Outkast Here's to Us, Halestorm The Silence, also by Halestorm Rewrite the Stars, "The Greatest Show" soundtrack Who Wants to Live Forever, by Queen Take On Me, by aha Take a Walk With Me, by Scott McClatchy. It sounds romantic, but it's about a town that's dying. Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God), by Kate Bush I've Had the Time of My Life, Bill Medley & Jennifer Karnes Rhiannon, by Fleetwood Mac

[@nandisibiya]

saving this for later😂

[@cassandraspoelhof3752]

Isn’t Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) just one big F.U to an ex?

[@ryant8592]

The worst song I heard at a wedding was "good 4 u" by Olivia Rodrigo. A bunch of single women were jamming out and so was the DJ. I was just staring in confusion wondering who hurt these poor people on the dance floor

[@chelseacanales8763]

You’re Beautiful is most definitely not a good wedding song. Now that James Blunt told the meaning behind it.

[@Nurichiri]

Careless Whisper by George Michael. It's got the sax... but is about a last awkward dance when a girl has found out about her guy two-timing her.

[@stephanielandis2315]

I was at a wedding for one of my friends and the DJ ended the wedding with "somebody I used to know" by Gotye because the song was popular during that time. Kind of terrible wishes for the new couple lol.

[@jons.6216]

There was a musician/comic that once joked that he liked throwing in "That's why the Lady is a Tramp" into the mix just for fun! Haha!

[@selenabritroma]

White Wedding by Billy Idol better be on this list.

[@bheast86]

what are the pros and cons here of 'I Touch Myself'?

[@charliep123]

Iris, Good Riddance (Time of Your Life), and I Write Sins Not Tragedies are some of my favourite songs. I don’t want to get married but if I did those three are on the playlist, full stop.

[@CsCharlese]

Getting married in november and I'm glad i'm danish and there is a special song called "the wedding walz" for the special bride and groom dance because I'm born in 1987 I have loved songs like With or without you and Iris since I heard them the first time 😂
