Inappropriate Wedding Songs

As I was looking for some alternative songs for our wedding reception cocktail hour playlist, I came across a list of the top 20 inappropriate songs to play at a wedding. These are hilarious. Hopefully no one would actually listen to these and think they were happy love songs. Here are some of my favorites in no particular order:

1. D-I-V-O-R-C-E by Tammy Wynette..this was number one on the list for pretty obvious reasons
2. If You Wanna Be Happy by Jimmy Soul
"If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life, never make a pretty woman your wife so for my personal point of view, get an ugly girl to marry you". I mean, these lyrics are pretty hilarious, but I guess I understand why they might not be the most appropriate for a bride/groom 1st dance.
3. Better Man by Pearl Jam.. Anyone who knows Matt knows how much he loves Pearl Jam. This is probably one of his least favorites which is good b/c it will not be played at the wedding. We thought it would be hilarious for our slideshow, but unfortunately can't actually go through with that.
4. Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now by The Smiths Playing a song that makes you want to die at the end is never appropriate.
5. Gold Digger by Kanye West.. Everyone knows I am marrying Matt for his money already. No need to rub it in by playing this ditty.
6. It's the End of the World As We Know It by REM
7. Run for Your Life by The Beatles.. Threats in lyric form are not cool for a wedding.
