Worst wedding songs

"I Write Sins Not Tragedies" by Panic! At the Disco

"Break up with him" Old Dominion

"Lips of an Angel" Hinder

"Before he cheats" Carrie Underwood

& That fucking cotton eyed Joe song

Avril Lavignes - girlfriend

Katy Perry the one that got away

@Katherine Re: "Butterfly Kisses" what @Delfina said, plus it's country *and* Christian contemporary. That's two genres working better together right there. (gag)

Oh Danielle, that Jimmy Soul song is one of our favorites! Not good for a wedding, agreed

For some reason they seem to play black eyed peas "i gotta feeling" at every wedding. i didn't like that song when it came out 10 years ago and i don't like it now.

@Nonna T: That song was played at a wedding I attended last year. It has a fun tune, though the lyrics are rather misogynist.

@Ella: Let's mazel tov! lol

@Delfina and others I'm derailing this thread a bit, but..

I've never heard the song about butterfly kisses, but a "butterfly kiss" is when someone holds their cheek/ the back of their hand near your face and you flutter your eyelashes to tickle them. So to me that's not creepy, it was a ritual that I did with my grandmother when she tucked me into bed (could be why the singer is saying they happen at night? Again I haven't heard the song).

And why is it weird for grown woman to "be kissing their parents the same way all through their life" if they're not actually kissing? Like no mouths are involved when you butterfly kiss someone, similar to an Eskimo kiss.

Anyway, I came here to share a Worst Wedding Song, so: Buckcherry's "Crazy Bitch"

I CANNOT STAND don't stop believing by journey. There, I said it. I hate it. Hate it hate it hate it. That's always my cue to head to the ladies room or more likely bar lol

Listen to the song. It's got a serious ick vibe to it. And yes, mouths are definitely involved in this case because the girl actually asks her father in the lyrics if she can please just kiss him on the cheek instead. But only if he doesn't mind!

I have a family member who chose "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston for her first dance. She chose it based on the title of the song without ever really listening to the lyrics - it's literally about loving someone and wanting to stay but they don't.

They're divorced now.

Marry You by Bruno Mars. It's about getting married and breaking up the next day. Lyrics are important!

Oh you are right on all counts Danielle! It is from our day--I remember hearing it on the radio!

But it wouldn't fly today

I'm back after listening to the butterfly kisses song, and I still don't think it's creepy. Boring, yes. Badly written, sure. But I don't get an ick factor from it.

It kinda sounds like what you would get if a country artist who isn't actually a parent heard the "I'll dance with Cinderella" song and though he could make a lot of money if he wrote the same thing.

The one weird part is what you pointed out, where she wants to kiss her dad on the cheek this time... but I'm betting I only found it weird because you pointed it out, and that if I were listening with fresh ears I would think it's an allusion to her being a teenager, and trying to tell her dad that she's too big for butterfly kisses (which - again- when you butterfly kiss someone you're ticketing the back of their hand with your eyelashes. If you're using your mouth at all that's something else. Not a butterfly kiss). So because she thinks she's too old, she wants to kiss him goodnight on the cheek. Maybe. But that would make it a bigger deal when she initiated a butterfly kiss (hand. Eyelashes.) while getting ready at her wedding. Like "I realize that I'm not too big after all." I dunno. It's a dumb song.

Yankin' by Lady

Stayin' Alive!

Oh and Friends in Low Places- Garth Brooks

Oh man - Miley has a song called "Bang My Box"?! I died laughing!

We are meeting our DJ at the end of the month and I have only two requests: absolutely NO "We Are Family" by Sister Sledge, and "Ignition" by R. Kelly is a MUST. I'd love to hear some 2 Live Crew or even Katy Perry's new Bon Appetit, but not worth the parent and co. shock.

Granted, this was years ago, maybe decades. But the worst song I ever heard played at a wedding was at a close friend's. Her DJ had all the single ladies make a circle around her new husband and then played MC Hammer's Can't Touch This, expecting us to all dance around him. Everyone immediately walked off the dance floor. So awkward
