“Here comes your man” by The Pixies

It’s not romantic, it’s about a hobo dying of hypothermia.

I like SOME of these songs! LOL I am getting married this July and there are a couple songs I will play at my wedding just because they’re fun to dance to and people I know love to dance (i.e. Billie Jean). Then there are some songs that are just flat out inappropraite that should never be played at someone’s wedding ever like the Eamon song. Who does that??

I know this is from a few years back, but I just wanted to share.

I was maid of honour for a girl a while back, and she wanted ‘Better Man’ by Pearl Jam as the wedding song. One of the lines from the song:
“She lies and says she’s in love with him, can’t find a better man…”
We all thought she was settling for him, just wanting to get married, and we tried to explain what the song meant. I think she ended up going with a Bryan Adams song.

That is funny because as a joke, the last song at our wedding is Paradise By the Dashboard Light. Weddings are supposed to be fun and if you dont have a sense of humor with it, you just might have a stressful marriage. I always tease my fiance, we got out marriage license on the 3rd floor of the courthouse and when we bicker i tell him if he keeps it up i will take him to the 4th floor …where you file for divorce…its out little joke. Marriage is a serious business but if you spend your time worrying about what song should and shouldnt be played, then you are stressin yourself out. Start your marriage out to a good start, let the wedding be a party and what happens, happens, you cant control everything:) Good luck to all of the future bride and grooms, may you stay off the 4th floor of the courthouse…lol!

I played Heaven by Bryan Adams at my wedding. It was a nice wedding song. A Bryan Adams song NOT to play at a wedding… Run to You.

I must say that I have been an Edmonton DJ for almost 10 years and have done over 600 parties and all I can say is you just never know what people will dance to. Even though Meatloaf – Paradise by the Dashboard Light is an 8 minute song it can work for the right crowd. I have been on occasion asked for a song and thought it would never work and sure enough it does.

Now if a song does not move people within the first minute or so I fade out and I am off to something else. Always keep an open mind and have fun doing what you do.

thanx
