About a week ago, I saw a post on npr.org inviting people to send in the worst musical selections that they had ever heard at a wedding. I thought of all of the inappropriate songs that almost made our playlist – “Rudie Can’t Fail”, “Mama Tried”, Jens Lekman’s “Postcard to Nina”.
The list of bad wedding song choices is up now on NPR Music. The songs that made the list are kind of ridiculous – I can’t believe people would actually play them at a wedding. Apparently, people just pick songs that they like and ignore the words. Here are some of the ones that made the list:
- You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling (Who would do this? This is why we didn’t have a DJ.)
- Every Breath You Take (very creepy)
- The Lady is a Tramp (ha!)
We definitely didn’t stick with traditional music, and there were some kind of questionable songs played, but it was an amazing dance party. Isn’t that what really matters? I think my mom is just glad that I changed my mind about walking down the aisle to “Should I Stay or Should I Go”.

“The Lady Is a Tramp” is, despite the title, kinda a sweet choice for a wedding.
“Hey Ya!” is probably the modern age’s most wrong wedding reception dance-off choice–if what they say is “nothing is forever,” then what makes love the exception?
