Wedding season is in full swing, and very little is more important about a wedding than song choice. Forget the dress, flowers and catering, what it really comes down to is that first dance. The song has to have the perfect meaning -- announcing true love and devotion, of course. Sometimes, however, things get a little...lost in translation? A song that means something for one person might actually mean something else in reality. That's why, because almost every wedding is somehow recorded, there is an amazing selection on the internet of wedding songs that are a little...off. We're not saying they aren't meaningful (so what if the first song you made out to was sung by Linkin Park?), we're just saying you should probably take a closer look before you attach yourself to the tune forever -- thus, making it the definition of your lasting love and devotion.
- 'Every Breath You Take'
Sting's stalker song to end all stalker songs.
Every move you makeTrue love means watching your beloved like a hawk. At the very same wedding, performers Francis and Johan followed that gem up with Bonnie Raitt's, 'I Can't Make You Love Me.'
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
Ill be watching you

- 'I Can't Make You Love Me'
Cause I can't make you love me if you don'tSo now your beloved is hearing voices and knowing they can't make you love them. Plus they're only giving themselves til the next day to get out of the relationship. Again, more things you maybe don't want to start of your life together talking about.
You can't make your heart feel something it won't

- 'My Heart Will Go On'

- 'Crank Dat'
(Also with bonus "I'm Too Sexy" entrance music.)

- 'White Wedding'

- 'Low'

- Wham Rap
I may not have a job,
But I have a good time,
With the boys that I meet "down on the line"
I said, I - DON'T - NEED - YOU
Amazingly, this couple is together 20 years later.

I once went to a wedding where the bride and groom entered the reception to "In Da Club". Ja Ja Ja Just Married!

What about Mick Jagger's"You Can't Alway's Get What You Want"!

Don't forget Green Day's "Good Riddance/Time of Your Life". The song sounds so great and oh so inviting. But it's really a big SCREW YOU song. GOOD RIDDANCE? Come on people, how do you not get that it means thank god you're gone, I hope you had the time of your life, later?

I attended a wedding where the bride and groom's song was Patsy Cline's "Crazy" which is a lovelorn song about a woman pining over lost love. Doesn't anyone listen to lyrics anymore?

My step son and his bride chose "You lost that lovin feeling" for their first dance togeher! Shouldn't that been saved for their 25th wedding anniversary?

When I was a teenager, I performed Jimi Hendrix's "Hey Joe" at a cousin's wedding. The song about a guy shooting his old lady was surely inappropriate!

Another one that was played at my wedding was, "Another one bites the dust."

Going back a bit but in the early '70s "I Don't Know How To Love Him" was a favorite at weddings. Couldn't understand this because, despite the beautiful melody, it included the line "And I've had so many men before, in very many ways, He's just one more." This was from the play "Jesus Christ Superstar" and was sung by Mary Magdelene about Jesus.

Another One Bites The Dust, by Queen. hehehe

I once heard at a wedding "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston...Listen to the lyrics - it's a song about breaking up !

At my roommate's wedding, the band played "Our Love's in Jeopardy." Not a very appropriate way to start a life together.
by:// laura - May 20th 2009
When my cousin got married back in 1979, the first song the band played at the reception was "Please Release Me" (Please release me, let me go. For I don't love you anymore....). What a bunch of losers! ;)

by:// gail - May 20th 2009
I was at a wedding and the hired band played "I Will Survive" well the marrage didn't they were divorced 8 months later.

Lovely wedding was followed by buffet dinner. As I filled my plate a familiar tune was played by the band. Not until I began to silently "sing along" did I realize what the tune was......."how many arms have held you and hated to let you go....how many how many I wonder...but I really don't want to know" Should I also add the bride was 5 months pregnant?
by:// donna - May 20th 2009
Okay, I can't make this stuff up. I should've run at full speed from my wedding (needless to say I am now divorced)...the singer at my wedding (Who we kindly refer to as "Denny the Lounge Singer" from SNL...if you've seen it you know how horrible this guy was)anyway, he actually sang...'If I Only Had a Brain'(from the scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz) and then later in the day followed up with Happy Trails...........ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...lmfao now. (Not then)
by:// marie - May 20th 2009
My favorite was "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" when my wife's cousin got married. Imagine they were divorced just a few years later.
by:// M - May 20th 2009
a good song to play is ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST
by:// Nick - May 20th 2009
How about Nine Inch Nails "Closer" (...I want to f*** you like an animal) Always thought that would be a great song for a reception!!!!
by:// skybrewer88 - May 20th 2009
How about "If you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with" I could not believe it!
