Trying to help my brother out w/ a list of shitty music that the dj is not allowed to play at his wedding. Looking to excise all the crap like We Are Family, The Chicken Dance, and Electric Slide. I'm at a loss right now and was hoping you fine folk of the board could help me in this endeavor. |

CELEBRATE. MACARENA. But you should play White Wedding by Billy Idol and I Was Made For Loving You by Kiss and Shine A Little Love by ELO. Also play Michael Jackson. |

My mom recently got re-married and I was tasked with putting together the music for the party. I didn't want to "DJ" because if I did, there'd be a lot of unhappy people there. At this point, every pop/rock record I have is outnumbered by a dozen or so dance singles. I also wanted to be free from "the DJ booth" for the party so I could be socially available to my family. So, instead, I put together a 5 hour playlist of "wedding-appropriate" music that went strong through about three hours or so until all anyone wanted to hear was either Elvis, the Village People, or Gucci Mane. On an even further unrelated note, I found this account of DJ'ing a sweet sixteen party in New Jersey alongside Morgan Geist of Metro Area to be pretty hilarious. http://fourfour.typepad.com/fourfour/20 ... sweet.html Quote: My favorite request of the night came from some sweaty kid, who between heavy, aerobic breaths, wheezed at me, "Taylor. Swift. Now." I couldn't help him out. Another kid came up while Stardust's "Music Sounds Better With You" was playing, mimed shooting himself in the head and said, "Bad song! Bad song!" I guess it wasn't techno enough for him. When Dan played Missy Elliott's "We Run This," a kid came up and asked for "Jump On It." He was referring to the Sugarhill Gang's "Apache," but I didn't know what he meant at first and when I asked him who the performer was, he said, "MC Hammer?" I get the feeling that to these kids, any hip-hop before 1990 was performed by MC Hammer. All that said, I think the only song I'd avoid is "Bobble Sex" by Tommy Seebach and anything cranky or depressing. People at weddings want to have a good time and some scorned lover type of shit by anyone from Reba McEntire to Beyonce might not be all that appropriate. |

Strokin' - Clarence Carter The Hokey Pokey When I'm coherent I may think of more, but these musical abortions came to mind immediately. |

More songs to resist: - Paradise by the Dashboard lights - Summer Days or Nights or whatever (from Grease ... never saw it; glad of it) - The Locomotion (any version) - Limbo Rock - Who Let the Dogs Out - anything 'country' (okay, that's a personal bias) {e.g., Boot Scootin' Boogie, Achey Breaky Heart, Friends in Low Places} - You Are So Beautiful - Shout (funny in Animal House, not at your reception ... yes, it would initially be a reviver song like YMCA, but it drags on forever and kills any build-up it may have made by the song's end) - Hot, Hot, Hot - anything by Celine Dion (you don't really need me to explain, right?) - Dancing on the Ceiling - You're the Inspiration I'll end my list on a more positive note with a humble suggestion to inculde - not as anything special per se - 'Into the Mystic' by Van Morrison. |

Ther last wedding I DJ'd the maid of honor asked me to play "Tears in Heaven". I must have looked at her in shock because 10 seconds of silence later she said "i like that song" Don't play "I'll be watching you" or "Love Stinks" either. |

Im getting married next year. We're having my friend's band play because I am convinced all wedding DJ's are tools. My off limit songs that I hear at every wedding that I would boycott are: Chicken Dance Electric Slide Cha-Cha slide Macarena Any 80's buttrock (My aplogies to fans of Poison, Def Leppard, and Bon Jovi) Any Bryan Adams songs (Sorry Bud Dude, I guess you can forget about RSVPing) |
