Worst "First Dance" Song Possible

[Thelonious Funk]

This is a selfish post, but what the heck...

What do you think is the most inappropriate song a couple could have as their "song"?

I was thinking about using It's a Mans, Mans, World by James Brown or Horrible Day by Frank Black.... Witchy Woman also tempts me.

These Boots Are Made For Walking?

You Give Love a Bad Name?

You're As Cold as Ice?

What do you think?

[Glen B]

A first dance song would have to be slow/mid-tempo.

Too Much, Too Little, Too Late - Deniece Williams & Johnny Mathis
Walk Away from Love - David Ruffin
Separate Ways - Mary Davis (former lead singer of '70s/'80s group The S.O.S. Band)
Street of Tears - Black Heat (70s funk group)

She Ain't pretty (She Just Looks That Way)

Actually, any sort of "love" song that mentions a woman's name (but only when the woman in the song has a different name than the new wife)

[Kevin P]

Another One Bites The Dust...

Jessie's Girl...

Hit The Road Jack (especially if the groom's name is Jack)

[ROTCArmyHifiGuy]

"Move B itch get out the way" By Ludicris might be a good choice

[Pez]

Hells Bells comes to mind.

[Burke Strickland]

These Boots Are Made For Walking?

You Give Love a Bad Name?

You're As Cold as Ice?

What do you think?

You've suggested some wicked choices.

"These Boots Are Made For Walking" projects a violent end to a dysfunctional relationship.
"You Give Love a Bad Name" more or less does the same.
Pretty hard to warm up to anyone who says "You're As Cold as Ice".
But I've never heard a song titled "What do you think". :>)

Evil Woman - The Doobie Brothers

[Alaric]

The Bitch Is Back

[ShadowZA]

I can't dance - Genesis
:twisted:

[Chris D]

- The Alphabet Song

- My D*ck in a Box

- I'm a Girl Watcher

- We Are the World

- Ding, Dong, the Witch Is Dead

- The Chicken Dance

- Theme song from "Schindler's List"

- F@#$ You B!@#&, I Don't Want You Back (yes, this is a real song)

"I'm Not in Love" by 10cc. Have you downloaded that song for evaluation yet Eric?

"It's a Man's Man's Man's World" by James Brown is one of my all-time favourite songs, as long as it's the version off "Live at the Apollo, Vol. II", which must be about 20 minutes long. The girls in the audience are so excited that they're just about wetting themselves. So there are worse songs for couples than that one... lots worse.

Evil Woman - The Doobie Brothers

I didn't know Doobie Brothers did a song by that name, but that readily brings to mind Evil Woman by Electric Light Orchestra.

And since someone mentioned Genesis, how about their song Misunderstanding?

Lovin' Touchin' Squeezin' by Journey (listen to the lyrics and you'll understand)

Who's Cryin' Now by Journey

And for a new song that would fit this list: Before He Cheats by Carrie Underwood

[Glen B]

- F@#$ You B!@#&, I Don't Want You Back (yes, this is a real song)

I've got the CD single. Its actually "F**k It, I Don't Want you Back" by Eamon.

[ChrisssB]

Queen "Death on two legs"
some lyrics sample :

"You suck my blood like a leech, you break the law and you preach
Screw my brain till it hurts, you've taken all my money
And you want more...
Misguided old mule with your pig headed rules
With your narrow minded cronies, who are fools of the first division

Death on two legs, you're tearing me apart
Death on two legs, you've never had a heart of your own "

:T

[8thDwarf]

"Aisha" Death in Vegas..very very creepy.

[Alloroc]

Cheesy - Meatloaf's "Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad".

Naughty - Tenacious D's 'F**K Her Gently'.

Silly - "Sex Bomb" Tom Jones.

Unromantic in a romantic sort of way - "With Or Without You" or " I Still Have'nt Found What I'm Looking For" both by U2.

I could go on....

[Thelonious Funk]

I think it's funny that people still choose Every Step You Take by the Police.

It's a song about a stalker... which is awesome.

[Chris D]

Alloroc, I had the same thought about "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For". (which actually was written as a gospel song) My personal opinion about "With or Without You", though, is that it's the greatest and most realistic love song ever written. Really expouses the highs and lows of relationships, how wonderful and difficult they are at the same time. Not just roses in the sky...

[chrispy35]

Sloan - The Other Man
Van Halen - Hot For Teacher (assuming your wife is in education, maybe not bad but cheesy).
Scissor Sisters - Better Luck
Abba - Take A Chance On Me

True Chris, but it's their titles that crack me up in the context of the post....

BTW, my first dance song was "I Will" by the Beatles....

[bigburner]

BTW, my first dance song was "I Will" by the Beatles....

Was it a significant occasion?

[Alloroc]

Was it a significant occasion?

My wedding....

Amazingly, my wife never had the exposure to the Beatles that I had. She was more an Abba, Chris DeBurgh kind of girl. So when I'd play my play my Beatles Cds, she's moan and groan and after 30 seconds, she'd say... Wait a minutes, they sang that song!?

Anyhow, for me, McCartney wrote some of the sweetest lyrics ever written and 'I Will' is such a sweet song.

[Chris D]

How about "The Hokey Pokey"?

[bigburner]

My wedding....

That's quite significant...

Paul sings "I Will" on the DVD "The Space Within US", and does a good job too.

My wife loves The Beatles, even though there's quite a lot of their songs she doesn't know. I think her favourite album is Rubber Soul. She put it on at a friend's place one night a couple of weeks ago, turned up the volume, and people got off their bums and started dancing. Not a bad band really.

"Fake" by Alexander O'Neal

[Thelonious Funk]

These have all been very amusing.

I have one last entry into this...

Sweet Blood Call By Louisianna Red

"It'd be hard to miss you, baby, with my pistol in your mouth."

Mostly about a woman who wants to leave him, but he has this long conversation about he staying while holding a gun on her.

It's a blues song. I think it would have to be the very worst song to possibly play at a wedding, for a first dance. Imagine what the Brides family would think? It would start a riot.

Eric Clapton - Wonderful Tonight

"...While generally regarded as a romantic song, "Wonderful Tonight"'s genesis was less than starry-eyed lyricism. Clapton's inspiration came as he grew impatient for Boyd to finish dressing for a party. In that regard, the lyric "You look wonderful tonight" could be interpreted less as a heartfelt compliment and more as a prod to be finished getting dressed. Nevertheless, the subsequent lyrics grow more patient and loving..."

Nobody mentioned...?

Two words a maried guy learns to never let occupy the same clause...

Fat Bottomed Girls gets my vote :B

[nerd of nerds]

"Bitches aint shit" by Dr Dre or if you are feeling artsy the cover by ben folds.

[Stockinv]

Worst Song

How about "The Leader of The Pack", by the Shangra La's .
I love the part where it goes,
"No, No, No, No, Lookout, Lookout, Lookout, which I find extremely
appropriate for a wedding song.
