We got to thinking about the least-romantic songs that get played at weddings. Those songs that get mistaken for "sweet" because of their melody or the wrong interpretation of its lyrics, but are really nasty... or actually about a break-up, or death, or a creepy stalker... you get the idea.
Here's a few tunes that we've heard recently at weddings that maybe should have been reconsidered. You might want to listen to them a bit more closely before you dance your first dance to them:
Every Breath You Take by The Police
Keep On Lovin' You by REO Speedwagon
Your Body Is A Wonderland by John Mayer
I Will Always Love You by Dolly Parton (or Whitney Houston)
White Wedding by Billy Idol
Just Like Heaven by The Cure
My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion
Possession by Sarah MacLachlan
Here's To the Night by Eve 6
You Are the Everything by R.E.M.
I Don't Want to Wait by Paula Cole
End Of the Road by Boyz II Men
One by U2
Respect by Aretha Franklin
Which songs have you mistaken as romantic? Don't feel embarrassed. We know someone who only just realized that Little Red Corvette is NOT about a car!
I was thinking about the song "Hotel California" by The Eagles as a potential wedding song. My fiance and I just love it. But, I'm pretty sure its not a romantic song. Does anyone know what it's really about?
