My uncle married a total witch a couple of years ago and just to wind them up me and a few of my cousins kept on requestion shite songs….especially ones related to like been cr@p! It was fantastic fun!
that is why i am giving our DJ a specific list of the music we want played…
ummm don’t know the song but it sounds perfect!
For our wedding we gave the DJ a complete playlist of 5 hours of music. Our first song was Kiss From A Rose - Seal. It meant we could have music like Nirvana that otherwise wouldn’t be played. We also gave each guest a request - you’ve got to take you’re guests into account a bit so we didn’t pick any songs that were too heavy.
Your choice of first dance song is a excellent song but might be trying to dance to. Also, the title should maybe be about coming together rather than being torn apart.
Weddings are a bore. I despise salmon which they always supply. If it wasn’t for the free booze I would never go.
you know you will dance to the macarena and like it.
Wedding DJ’s play shite - that is all there is to it!!! Play your Joy Division and other fantastic music, all that other bollocks is just not even amusing. You get the sad mums and dads and grandparents in their wedding finery (or so they like to believe!!) thinking they are really amusing doing the Macarena etc! Too grim for terms. Make a stand!
yes, it is in the contract.
and yes, i reckon that would be a fantastic first dance song.
LOL!! I like the Joy Division reference.
And it is in the bargaining agreement. If you play excellent music I am worried you will be grievanced…
My DJ at my wedding the largest most useless waste of money … NEVER ever again will I hire one …. He did all the things I told him NOT to do …. grr….
Who let the dogs out … at a wedding?
There is rules to it, I only know cuz my one friend is a DJ and Ive gone to some weddings with him before to get in on the open bar. Its for the small kids and the really ancient people i reckon. I don’t see anything incorrect with bumpin and grindin on your cousin, i mean your all family now that should be honest game
we never questioned you to be our DJ, but so long as you promise not to play those songs, i guess it’s ok, we’re not paying you, i guess you can have cake…
We prefer, "I Used to Like Her" by GNR…
thanks
Make sure to play lots of 80’s rock
