"Discostick" and other reception bloopers.

FI and I were joking about playing some ridiculous songs at our reception- and Lady Gaga's "lovegame" came up. I would LOVE to dance to that song, but I think the "I wanna take a ride on your discostick" line would give FI's poor Grandma a heart attack. Which got me thinking: What kind of borderline/straight up inappropriate songs have you heard at a reception? Have you ever considered (like me) to play some of these songs? I know this has probably been covered a million times, but it's always hilarious.

I would never play any of those songs at my wedding. At my cousin's wedding the DJ put on Missy Elliott's "Get Your Freak On," it was uncomfortable as I was there with my conservative parents and quite a few older family members.

Unless the song is blatantly offensive, most older guests won't be paying attention to the lyrics to even care in the first place. I don't see that it's an issue personally.

I agree with pp that older guests probably wont even know what a lot of the song lyrics mean. But on the other hand if they actually pay attention to the lyrics they're not that hard to figure out.

I have only been to like ONE wedding in my entire life that DIDN'T play Meatloaf's "Paradise By The Dashboard Light".I've already said, I will have my DJ's head on a silver platter if that gets played. Great song, but seriously, NOT wedding appropriate at ALL.The only real "bad" song I've considered is Ida Maria's "Better When You're Naked" ... and I really think I only jumped on this crazy train as vengeance to my mother, lol.

I'd love to play "lovegame" too! Option one, keep volume down and grandparents for from speakers. Option 2, play in the morning when we're getting ready. I know this sounds kinda bad, but I doubt my nana would be able to hear it well enough to even start figuring it out. I feel like anyone over 65 assumes everything is innocent unless it's explicit.

We're not playing The Thong Song... but I agree that most elderly guests wouldn't notice. Another thought - at least where I grew up, unless its grandparents, the older guests that are invited leave shortly into the dance, so if you waited until 10, 10:30 to ride the discostick you'd definitely be fine. Also, I'm sure even Louis Armstrong and Frank Sinatra have "hidden" messages. You CAN avoid the obvious dirty songs, but I wouldnt worry too much about the others... jmo
