Now then, when you go a wedding there's just some songs that make you want to puke.
So, here's your chance, what are your 5 least favourites?
Choose 5!
This list is by no means complete, and if you think of any others, mention it below.

No way should Satchmo be on there - I had that as the first song at my wedding! I made sure that there were plenty of other Bond themes throughout the evening so that Mrs dB knew exactly what she was letting herself in for. I’d add Walking On Sunshine by Katrina & The Waves to the list. I hate that song with a passion and it’s been played at every wedding I’ve been to apart from mine. The DJ was told that under no circumstances, even if someone requested it, was that to be played and thankfully, it wasn’t. My hatred of the song is well known at my local gym as any time an instructor plays it in my spin class, everyone turns and looks at me to see the disgust on my face.

Top 3 pukeworthy, in no certain puke order.
Ed Sheeran - Perfect
American Authors - Best Day Of My Life
Pharrell Williams - Happy

I am I guess very lucky in that I've managed to avoid all songs by Bruno Mars and Ed Sheeran. We Have All The Time In The World has no place on this list. It's wonderful.  My five: Bryan Adams - (Everything I do) I do It For You (how many weeks was that at Number 1? Whatever it was it seemed ten times longer. Vomitworthy.) Rod Stewart - Have I Told You Lately (I've a lot of time for Rod, except when he's singing...) Eric Clapton - Wonderful Tonight (no it isn't) Linda Ronstadt & Aaron Neville - Don't Know Much (just the thought of it has me reaching for my antacid pills) Whitney Houston - I will Always Love You (Whitney's stuff was always a massive turn-off for me) There are, I'm sure, worse tracks in the list but I've not heard them. Phew! |

Very glad to see Whitney Houston taking an early lead. That has been overplayed to death and just the first few words of the intro has me reaching for the fast forward button.
In the 90s I worked at a leisure centre at large events of 200+ people in the evening and that cr*p always came on at the end of the night. If I wasn't already tired enough after a long shift, I then had to endure 5 more minutes of that cack.
Every wedding I've ever attended seems to have 'Come on Eileen' and 'Y.M.C.A' playing, the latter being the only time that many Welsh folk actually do any exercise in public. I don't mind those two though - that said, nobody knows the words to 'Come on Eileen' apart the chorus. I'll also fess up and say as a song (and not as a Neighbours anthem), I think the Angry Anderson is ok, especially as it has a great guitar solo in it.
I also can't stick Rod Stewart. That one is right up there as most pukeworthy song ever.

Don’t like any of them. Picked 5.
I really dislike that Whitney Houston song. It was played the other day somewhere (can’t remember where, which is irritating me but will come back to me I’m sure) and I walked out of the shop.
Best wedding song is Nelly the Elephant.

Can’t say I like any of the above, I know a musician who often does weddings he can’t stand doing James Blunt songs

I never get invited to weddings anymore. All the weddings I have ever been to have ended in divorce or death... sometimes both. And I've been Best Man twice! I think word has got around that I jinx the happy day. I still go to funerals though, as there's not much more bad luck those involved can really have.
Shaddap Ya Face by Joe Dolce seems to be the most appropriate song to have at a wedding. That or Mars the Bringer of War by Holst. Or Devil Woman by Cliff.

I gave one vote to a Bruno Mars song that I've never even heard. Is that being childish now.

I nearly added those two as being played at every wedding (along with Karma Chameleon) but I don’t mind them so didn’t include them. I could easily have voted for Ed Sheeran but I’m proud of the fact that I couldn’t name a single one of his songs so don’t know how that one goes. |

Mister Ed.  I played a gig at a private birthday party a few years ago and was asked "Can you play any Ed Sheeran?" to which my answer was simply "This band will never play Ed Sheeran." However, it did tell me I was out of touch with Joe Public, but that like you, I actually couldn't care less. |

I could easily have voted for Ed Sheeran but I’m proud of the fact that I couldn’t name a single one of his songs so don’t know how that one goes. I’ll let you in on a secret Felix.. I voted Ed Sheeran. And guess what, like you I don't know that song or any of his others. What I do know though is that he’s a wishy washy little tuss, who for some reason has been promoted and pushed to the nth degree in order to give him some seemingly unwarranted, unearned and unparalleled festival guitar star status. I don’t like what he represents, he’s banal and bland and utterly without any charisma whatsoever and I think the only reason people go to his concerts or download/listen to his music is because they are told to by the corrupt music media. Were Ed Sheeran not Ed Sheeran the so-called luvvie star but instead an anonymous, ugly little ginger busker in the underpass on the way to Tescos playing his same repertoire of songs, 90% of these dicks that listen to him and go to his concerts, would walk straight past him. They wouldn’t even give him or his music a second thought. They only do so because they are told to. |

Another track to add to the list would be 'You're The Best Thing' by The Style Council.
Great song but puke inducing at a wedding imo.

Pretty much like the fashions on most of their album covers then. Weird you posted this today as I was having a conversation earlier with someone here about The Style Council. |

I quite like it, but I imagine Pentagram's "Bride of Evil" wouldn't go down well at the wedding reception disco.
