Do not play list

hellohkb · September 2014

Blurred Lines. I'd rather not have such a slimey song be played.

Other than that and the obvious choices (chicken dance, YMCA, etc), I think I'm going to be very relaxed with that. I personally don't care if breakup songs or whatever are played.

I might just put that down as "anything by Queen"!

We can't be friends.

I don't hate Queen. I don't love 'em. I just can't think of any of their songs that I would want at a wedding.

Does that help?

What!?! Crazy Little Thing Called Love is perfect!

This is what we sent our DJ, and it worked out well for our crowd:
-          Anything by Chris Brown, R. Kelly, Justin Beiber, One Direction (and other such boy bands)

-          Eric Clapton – Wonderful Tonight

-          Robin Thicke – Blurred Lines

-          Any choreographed dances (i.e. Macarena, Electric Slide, Chicken Dance, Cha Cha Slide, Cupid Shuffle, Hokey Pokey, Achy Breaky Heart, etc.)

-          Hardcore or gangsta rap

-          Songs with blatantly inappropriate lyrics

Can I ask why you included Wonderful Tonight on your DNP list? I mean, the rest I totally get. And a lot of other Clapton songs I would get. But Wonderful Tonight I don't. (Could be I don't know anything about it though - I just discovered it by accident looking for Tears in Heaven a long time ago.)

DH and I are not fans of it. The non-dancing portions of our reception were mostly classic rock (and some modern country), but that was just one song we both disliked enough to not include.

I don't actually know the song...

ashley8918 · September 2014

Blurred Lines (Rape songs are not appropriate ever, but especially not at my hitchin')

Single Ladies (Ew)

The Chicken Dance and The Macarena (The others are fine... I guess)

Peaseblossom55 · September 2014

We had a bigger do not play list than play list, we had more artist versus songs on the do not play list

Some of it included:

Blurred Lines

Rhianna

Chris Brown

Black Eyed Peas

No country

No dance (hokey pokey, electric slide)

Miley Cyrus

Justin Beiber

no boy bands (one direction N Sync, ect)

I feel like there was more....

chocolateygabs · September 2014

We were also an "absolutely no country" couple for our reception as we both hate it. Though I did allow for Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire" because 1) It's Johnny Cash and 2) I have fond memories of a very drunk dude declaring that this was the best. song. ever! and the "best fucking day ever!" while signing and dancing along to the lyrics with a white towel/shirt on his head. We were at our university's college football game, and it is a great inside joke amongst my friends and I.

I am all about the cheese, though, so I had lot of stuff that people have named on their no-play list. We did some group dances, but I never want to see the Macarena for as long as I live. We also had a various age group, so I insisted on no explicit lyrics, and I allowed the DJ to play 1 Direction (ugh, but I'm nice and a good cousin) for the 14 year olds. Thankfully that was early on in the night.

Our DJ was really cool and went table to table asking for song requests (obviously sticking to our no play list). He played the songs during the night, and people really appreciated it. He was a fun DJ, and I have more stories about him. He reassured us that if someone asked for anything on our no play list, he would just tell them that he left the CD at home, which, technically he did, because we asked him not to bring it.

aw man, that's my jam!

theartistformerlyknownas · September 2014

I had a pretty lengthy "do not play" list, and didn't end up giving it to them. I trusted my guys to put on a kick ass show, and they did. They played a few I despise (Love Shack, ugh) but the dance floor was packed the whole night. Like it or not, those songs are crowd-pleasers. So who am I to complain?

AlexaF2014 · September 2014

Meh, the only things on my list are the things that would make me (or my family) cry: No "Butterfly Kisses", no "Brown-Eyed Girl", and not whatever my mom and dad's first dance was. Other than that, even if I hate it, I'm sure someone invited will like it and want to dance to it.

VulgarGirl · September 2014

I'm not bothering with a do not play list. We told our DJ to keep it fun, limit the techno, and hey gangsta rap probably doesn't belong at a wedding. There are very few songs that really bother me and I fully love the cheese. I figure if something comes on I don't want to dance too, well there is an open bar for a reason.

Bohemian Rhapsody and What Does the Fox Say

Alright...you can slide on this one....

[Deleted User] · September 2014

Any country, hip hop, or rap. Any group dance (except the time warp, which was requested) The chicken dance, hokey pokey, celebrate, love shack, ymca, and other "I have heard this song at every single wedding" songs. My dj was a friend who didn't even have Katy Perry and such, so I was pretty safe. I told him I trusted him, but when in doubt the Best of the Ed Sullivan Show would likely have songs every single person would dance to.

We're going to be putting all our songs on an iPod and giving it to our DJ, who is FI's uncle. No other songs than the ones we have put on the iPod are going to be allowed.

I really don't understand how people can not like Queen. I mean has there been a better voice than Freddy Mercury... I can't think of one. Edited because auto correct apparently doesn't like Queen either. Good grief. It changed Queen to Quinn, Freddy to Frankie and Mercury to Murphy... Seriously autocorrect you suck

I love you. I was beginning to panic reading all the Queen hate! I actually walked down the aisle to a cover of "You're My Best Friend".

larrygaga · September 2014

I like queen but some songs are just obnoxious because of overplaying. I get not wanting queen at a wedding.

climbingsingle · September 2014

On the topic of Queen - last month we went to see Soundgarden and NIN with a bunch of our friends. FI was driving us all back home (imagine 7 drunk people in a Suburban) and Bohemian Rhapsody came on the radio. We all freaked out and did our own version of the Wayne's World scene. It was hilarious. I wish I would have thought to record it.

jynxiie · September 2014

Just the regular stuff (Chicken dance, YMCA, etc) We are getting such backlash though.. It's kinda ridiculous - who would of thought that is what people are dying to hear. I for one... have no interest hearing anything like that at the wedding.

I say this all the time, but the best way to make sure people don't get the idea that you care about or want their input is to not talk to them about wedding stuff.

For some reason, people think you give a shit about what they think if you chat them up about wedding stuff all the time. There is no mistaking that I'm not seeking opinions if I don't bring it up. If they do about something specific that I'm keeping low key or already have set in stone, I say "It's all locked down. How's that bean dip?'"
