What song should never be played at a wedding?

[AARPTeri]

Thought this could be a fun topic 🙂   I will start with You Give Love a Bad Name by Bon Jovi.

White Wedding - Billy Idol

His once girlfriend that he still loves is marrying someone else, yet this song still has been played at a lot of weddings. The song refers to shotgun, so possibly a shotgun wedding! That would make the term “white wedding” seem facetious or disingenuous. So no, not for weddings.

My Baby Done Left Me(And I Feel Like Homemade S***)- The Fugs

The Fugs were a satirical underground rock band of the 1960's out of New York City.

Gained some national fame for a couple of their satirical songs, this being one of them.

THE SIGN (Ace of Base)

I absolutely loved that song when it came out.. but the words are definitively not for a wedding: 

The Sign

Ace Of Base

I, I got a new life

You would hardly recognize me

I'm so glad

How could a person like me care for you?

Why, why do I bother

When you're not the one for me

Is enough enough?

I saw the sign

Still Loving You - Scorpions

This song was so popular when it was released, it was credited for creating a baby boom in France. That surprised Scorpions writer, Klaus Meine, who said it was really a breakup song. It’s about a guy pining away for his lost lover!

"Please Release..Let Me Go...I Don't Love You Anymore..." I guess it's called "Release Me"...

"Walk On By"....
