Brilliant.

But they missed out "Young hearts run free" by Candi Staton.

Also notably absent is 'Love The One You're With.' Odd.

I went to a wedding in Vegas and (true to the list) "Elvis" sang "Suspicious Minds" to the bride and groom. Great song but I sat there thinking .

Then there's "Blister in the Sun".

Most of those are "DUH!" entries.

How about this: My sister and her 1st husband danced to "The Dance" by Garth Brooks.

From the Wedding Singer: "Love Stinks" by J. Geils Band.

Haha who'd play G'N'R at a wedding anyway besides fans?

Same goes for Ugly Kid Joe.

Though they both would definaetly rock at a wedding IMO.

I'm playing Slipknot's Vermillion Pt. 2 at mine.

Don't ever do it. And I'm not talking about playing Slipknot.

I can't believe "It's Cheaper to Keep Her" isn't on there.

Or the song that probably inspired it:

Quote:
Another bride Another June
Another sunny honey moon
another season, another reason
for makin' whoopie

A lot of shoes, a lot of rice
the groom is nervous. he answers twice
its so Killin that he's so willin'
To make whoopee

Picture a little love nest
down where the roses cling
picture the same sweet love nest
Think what a year can bring

He's washing dishes and baby clothes
He's so ambitious he even sews
but don't forget folks that's what you get folks
for makin' whoopee

Another year or maybe less
what's this I hear? Well you can't you guess
She feels neglected and he's suspected
of makin' whoopee

She sits alone most every night
He doesn't phone her he doesn't write
he says he's busy but she says "is he?"
He's makin' whoopee

He doesn't make much money
only five thousand per
some judge who thinks he's funny
says you'll pay six to her

he says now judge suppose i fail
the judge says "bud... right into jail"
you better keep her i think it's cheaper
than making whoopee

you better keep her
I know it's cheaper than makin' whoopee
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TULYBRHBAs

Only half of it, but what the heck...

The two verses about the judge are the ones that crack me up. Sort of.

I would have to add Love Hurts to the list as well.

"Love Hurts" was written and composed by Felice and Boudleaux Bryant. it was first recorded by The Everly Brothers in 1960 and a was hit by Roy Orbson in 1961, and later became a 1975 international hit by Nazareth.

Love hurts, love scars, love wounds and mars
Any heart not tough or stong enough
To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud
Holds a lot of rain
Love hurts... ooh,ooh love hurts

I'm young, I know, but even so
I know a thing or two
And I learned from you
I really learned a lot, really learned a lot
Love is like a flame
It burns you when it's hot
Love hurts... ooh,ooh love hurts

Some fools think of happiness
Blissfulness, togetherness
Some fools fool themselves I guess
They're not foolin' me

I know it isn't true, I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie
Made to make you blue
Love hurts... ooh,ooh love hurts
Ooh,ooh love hurts

I know it isn't true, I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie
Made to make you blue
Love hurts... ooh,ooh love hurts
Ooh,ooh love hurts

He, he... well, the situation is different here since it happens because of pure language ignorance, but it's pretty common in my country to play "Yesterday" at wedding serenades as the opening instrumental piece. For sure, Those who choose that tune don't know about the verse:

Quote:
Yesterday
All my troubles seem so far away
Now it looks as though they’re here to stay
Oh I believe in yesterday
(Well, since there's a lot of truth on that verse in that context, maybe they do it on purpose and I haven't been aware of that )

I remember back when I was in a Blues band and the guitard was talking about how we needed to get into the high dollar wedding gigs. I laughed my arse off. I was like "Who wants to hear about how your baby left you, did you wrong, and someday will get theirs at a wedding?!?!?!"

Great list, but I thought it was going to be stuff like "Feel Like Makin' Love" or "Baby Got Back" or anything by The Dan Band...

"Another One Bites the Dust" and "Love Stinks," hm... probably get a chuckle at most weddings these days.
