World's Worst Wedding Songs

You may want to pass by these songs when putting together your wedding playlist. Not only are most of them cheesy and grossly overplayed at weddings, some contain lyrics that are completely inappropriate for a wedding. Don’t let these bad wedding songs happen to you!

1. Chicken Dance. Our Take: Nothing about a wedding screams “flap your arms and pretend to be a chicken.” Nothing. No one likes this dance, we promise.

2. YMCA - The Village People. Our Take: Most people look ridiculous attempting to spell out the letters.

3. Shout - Isley Brothers. Our Take: One of the most overplayed songs at a wedding reception. Please be original and leave this off your play list.

4. Macarena - Del Rio. Our Take: As a general rule, songs that promote a form of line dancing should be reserved for bad karaoke bars.

5. Electric Slide. Our Take: See previous response.

6. Celebration - Kool and the Gang. Our Take: Again, grossly overplayed.

7. Hot, Hot, Hot - Buster Poindexter. Our Take: So not hot!

8. Heart Will Go On - Celine Dion. Our Take: Leave the Titanic song off the playlist unless you want to leave the impression that your marriage is a sinking ship (and an overly sappy one at that).

9. Gold Digger - Kanye West. Our Take: Jaws drop, the dance floor clears, and the first official fight between the bride and groom commences

10. D-I-V-O-R-C-E - Tammy Wynette. Our Take: Seriously?
