Hey, what am I gonna say, I play "Institutionalized" by Suicidal Tendancies at our wedding. I am sure my political conservative friends and family were alittle weirded out, but I just love that song.
@tksjewelry: like
@SweetRose2011: It's your wedding. Every person can be offended by SOMETHING. As long as they aren't like screaming out profanities or anything I think it is fine.
Personally I wouldn't be offended, but I don't really get offended over too much. Our DJ played Bottom's Up and a few other "offensive" songs. I put offensive in quotes because the only person possibly offended was MIL. We waited to play all the really big dance songs after the grandparents and stuff left.
My husband describes his Mom at the wedding like so:
"She wasn't offended...but she kind of just stared at us (all the bridal party, us, dancing friends and family) like we were the National Geographic channel!" LOL. Love him.
I wouldn't be offended (it takes a lot, lol) but honestly I don't think those songs are super offensive anyways. Of course SOMEONE could choose to be offended, but that's their problem. You're right - your wedding, your music! They can't expect slow songs all night.
I thought you were going to ask for suggestions for some offensive songs to play. I would have been more than happy to help compile a list! Like Mrs.ChubbyBunny said, it's your wedding, play what you like!
@Aure: LOL that's what I thought this post was about too. I was like, I am down for that! haha.
They were weirded out? But all you wanted was a Pepsi...
To answer you, I doubt most of your guests will be offended. Just play a mix of stuff and you should be good. I'd stay away from "Me So Horny" or "Pop That P***y" though.
I like them all!
My parents walked into Down with the Sickness by disturbed and DH and I walked into I Big Poppa by B.I.G. I'm sure some of the older folks were a little freaked out when my parents entered to WAHHAHAHAHA, but it was our day and my parents cracked up.
I think you're okay as long as you use the radio edit of "Tonight" instead of the album version :)
(For those who don't know, on the album version the lyrics are "But tonight I'm f*^#ing you", not "tonight I'm loving you" like they play on the radio)
Eh we played Crazy Bitch at my wedding. That is mine and my girls song. We just played it later in the evening.
I would definitely play them, but make sure you have the RADIO-EDITED VERSION of Tonight by Enrique. The original version goes "Tonight I'm f**king you..." (cringe! awkward!
ETA: Missed the post above mine!
@MademoiselleL: Great minds. I had never heard the original, and then it came on my Pandora station at work one day. I was like WHOA haha. Definitely not wedding appropriate in that version.
My dad and I didn't have an official father/daughter dance at my wedding but we did dance to "Get Low", just like we did at my cousins wedding (only reason I requested it). I feel like if your parents are looking for a reason to get offended, they will not matter what songs you play, so play the ones you and FI want! It is your day and your family will feel the same way about you after the wedding as they did before the wedding.
I cant help but wanting to play "Strokin" by Clearance Carter. I personally dont think its Offensive, but some of FI's older relatives might.
@Leprechaun: I know lol. I first heard it in a club and was singing along and then BAM!
After talking with Mr.ND, we've decided that 8-9 are the 'comfortable songs' so that people get into dancing, 9-11 are the 'crowd songs,' and from 11-1 we're playing whatever the frick we want. I'll get out there w/ my old college hip-hop team and just have a blast.
No Ginuwine 'Ride My Pony' but if we want to get down to Baby Got Back or Strokin', why the heck not? It's late, kids should be in bed and those who may be offended by the modern pop/hip-hop/club music can bow out for the night without feeling awkward since it will be late.
I would totally play them but wait until later in the night... maybe like an hour or so before the wedding is over. That way most of the older people might have left and everyone else will have had a few hours of drinking to soften the "offense". Besides, how many people are really listening to the lyrics of a song at a wedding? If you are, you have bigger problems! Enjoy the wedding and rock out!!
PS... My FI wants to play F*** Her Gently at the wedding.... you want to talk offensive?! lol I'm working really hard on vetoing that one!
My FI and I joke about playing a song by comedian Rodney Carrington called It's Too Late. We think it's hilarious but we know there would be people that would be offended. I've actually been to a wedding where they played this song. My boyfriend at the time, the best man, requested it. The bride's mother was not happy!
Here is the audio if you want to listen.
@SweetRose2011: LMFAO is already on the playlist. There's no way that I'm NOT going to play this song.
@Corilee13: @tksjewelry: My FH would be FLOORED happy if I surprised him by having our DJ play this song! lol
we have a lot of super conservs coming to ours so we are going to play the super raunchy ones and then tone it down from there lol
The first song I though of when I read your post title was 'Strokin' by Clarence Carter. LOL
Do you remember this song? "eeny weeny short d**k man"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA my friend played that at her wedding... You should be okay =)
@calypso0712: Bahaha! I was out at a bar with my mom and her friends, this song came on and while they stared in amazement (not horror, just...confusion?) the ENTIRE bar sang along. Save it for late in the night, you may have some superstar singers powered by booze ;-)
Also, does ANYONE know the name of the song that goes along and then everyone sings 'ALICE, ALICE, WHO THE F*@& IS ALICE?!' during the chorus? I heard it at a wedding a while back and it was HILARIOUS!
Wouldn't bother me in the least. I went to a wedding for conservative family recently and the dj played what might be considered offensive (and possibly inappropriate by some) music but the younger crowd was packed on the dance floor and the adults didn't care.
No matter what you do, whether music choices, food choices, venue/date choices, and the list goes on, someone will be bothered by it but most people have enough class to not say anything and not walk out either.
I think its fine- especially if you play them later in the evening. I think if it means a lot to you its great-
Our personal favorite, F*** Her Gently by Tenacious D:
If you wanna see a botty grinding, butt smacking playlist, send me your e-mail address. our reception will be a 2- part. The beginning will be family friendly since we have 3 girls (20th year vow renewal). the latter part will be grown and sexy- adults only. it is in our envelope along with the invite. i am going to urge any older adults that are still sitting after the d.j gives his pre-warning to leave (nicely) because our playlist is very raunchy! that is the way we wanted it. we wanna see people cut up on the dance floor. my sisters and cousins are going to loooove it.a couple of my friends will be shocked but will stay. :-)
R KELLY AND BIGGIE SMALLS HAS A SONG " I'M F****N YOU TONIGHT". I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE SONG YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT.
@tksjewelry: Sounds like my kind of wedding haha.
We'll have plenty of nontraditional *cough* music at our wedding, but my friends and family are pretty open minded with that kinda stuff. I don't think your guests will be listneing too closely to lyrics, I say go for it.
I would NOT be offended at all!! I think you will need some upbeat songs to get people out on the dance floor. OH and did I meantion that its your wedding and you should have fun and play the songs that you want to play!?

Okay, my family is a very conservative bunch. But it's MY wedding and I wanna get out on the dance floor and party it up! Obviously within reason.
I just can't get over wanting these songs played at some point, however. I just want the chance to bust a move with my girls on the floor. Would you be offended if you were a guest at my wedding and these songs were played?
#1 Tonight by Enrique (warning this video is pretty raunchy)
#2 Party Rock Anthem by LMFAO
#3 Don't Stop the Party by BEP
Mostly I'm just worried about the song Tonight. I know it's kinda raunchy but I can't stop wanting to sneak it in.
