Have you ever been to a wedding when the DJ played a song that stopped you in your tracks, not because of its heartwarming tune, but because of its highly inappropriate lyrics? Take a look at our picks for the Top 20 Most Inappropriate Wedding Songs! Here is just a taste…
20. Separate Ways (Worlds Apart) - Journey
The only thing sadder than the death of a love affair which once held infinite promise is probably Journey lead singer Steve Perry’s rock mullet which can be seen in the original video version.
Sample Lyric:
“Troubled times
Caught between confusions and pain, pain, pain
Distant eyes
Promises we made were in vain, vain, vain”
Little Known Fact:
Journey keyboardist Jonathan Cain and lead vocalist Steve Perry wrote this on the road during a period when two of the band members were going through painful divorces due to the stresses (and temptations) of life on the road.
This usually is the case with inexperience in the DJ. I’ve been asked to play some crazy songs during my career and I always double check with the client their understanding of the lyrics or the hidden meaning.
Another one bites the dust, I have played a few times by client request for the recessional, to get a laugh from there guest. Again I explain the song selection and I honor their request once I have fully disclosed the negative repercussion from the playlist.
I have DJ many events for over 20 years and Professional Wedding Entertainer for over 4 years. So to get all this advice you will pay an above average Fee or you take the gamble, hire inexperience based on price and pay the piper by dancing to All my ex’s live in Texas for eternity on the video. Good luck.
