    We are going to use "True Companion" for our first dance song at the reception, amazing song, however there is one line.... "then I'll take you home, and with wild abandon, make love to you just like a true companion" - I don't know if this is inappropriate for a first dance song because of that line?

    What do you guys think?

    Eh, it's fine.  No one listens closely enough to the lyrics to even notice something like that.  We were just at a wedding and 5 minutes after the first song, I couldn't have told you one word to the song.

    I agree with the PP... no one will notice.  And if they do, so what?  Tongue out

    I never heard the song before so I Googled it to hear it. Did you know that when you Google "True Companion," most of the listings that come up are for a sex robot? No lie.

    (The actual site is NSFW but this article isn't: http://www.pcworld.com/article/186576/true_companion_sexbot_alters_the_dating_landscape.html)

    Oh, and about the song? Nobody will notice.

    this is a tough one.  i'm super sensitive to lyrics, meaning that i really notice them, but i think i might be in the minority of people.  if you really want the song but don't want that line, you may be able to cut that part out, especially if you (or a friend) are at all familiar with editing programs.  i've used one with a free trial period - the program is called "Audacity" - to cut song length in the past.

    I think it's fine - honestly, I'm sure the guests will be paying attention to you and your husband dancing and not so much listening to every lyric.

    I don't think it's a big deal... It's a tasteful song.

    BUT.

    On your wedding day, while you are dancing to this song, are you going to be worrying about it? If you think you are, then don't do it. You should be thinking about your husband and only your husband, not about a lyric that may offend someone.

    I have heard this song a 1000x and love it every time, but I never picked up on those lyrics. I think it's a classic love song and you should be fine.

    Thanks guys.  I just don't want to offend some of the older, conservative people in the room.. the majority wouldn't have a problem..

    I have been listening to the song non-stop for days.. I'm so happy that my FI agreed that it was perfect.

    Thanks everyone!!!

    @danadelphiaI totally noticed the same thing!  I was like - who knew that your true companion was meant to be a robot! Ha.  Now I just go to you tube to listen to it.. no NSFW pages or robots on my screen :)

    I don't think it's a problem, especially since there's nothing controversial in having sex after you're married, and that's what the song is referring to.  I wouldn't worry about other people being offended by it.

    No, I don't think it's appropriate, but no one is likely to notice anyways.

    I think it's a beautiful song and is actually on my list.  I don't think it's inappropriate at all and like others have said, many won't even notice.

    Don't worry about it. I highly doubt if anyone will listen word for word to the lyrics.

    I look up lyrics to every song. My husband and I chose our first dance song partly based on the lyrics. I am the type of guest who would notice lyrics at your wedding. But you know what I would think? It's beautiful!

    But then again, I also think society in general should lighten up about sex. Seriously, we see people blowing up buildings and all types of violence everywhere on TV, and no one blinks. But any far-fetched hint of sex? Wow, the horror. You are getting married. Your passion is a natural and beautiful thing. Shared tastefully, everyone can appreciate that.
