Non-Dorky Poll: Bad Wedding Songs

It’s the first day of the summer research session today, which means I’m going to be run ragged getting my three (!) summer students started with their various projects. So, here’s a pop-culture post inspired by the wedding Kate and I went to over the weekend:

What’s the most inappropriate song you’ve heard played at a wedding?

This came up because while we were waiting for dinner, they were playing miscellaneous songs, one of which was “Lost Cause” by Beck. Which is a great song and all, but not so much the sort of thing you really want to play at a wedding…

In fact, I’d say that a good rule of thumb would be that any single off a breakup album is probably a bad idea. There really isn’t any good wedding material on Blood On the Tracks, either, for example…

So, what’s the most inappropriate song you’ve heard played at a wedding or wedding reception?
