Today Urlesque has a list of inappropriate wedding songs/dances, including this one, where a daughter and father start out with “What A Wonderful World,” and then break into a choreographed dance to Billy Idol’s “White Wedding.” (At the :30 mark):

I’d like to see the conversation that instigated this plan (“It’s a song about how I’m a virgin, Dad, don’t listen to the lyrics”), but more important: is it weird that I’ve been to at least THREE weddings where “White Wedding” was played?

  1. I once witnessed a son and mom dance to “lady in red”. she had a red dress on. I had an empty stomach 30 seconds later.

  2. My brother had karaoke at his wedding(Don’t ask–I didn’t), and he insisted that I sing White Wedding. I think everyone was in on the irony. The bride was eight months pregnant.

    We’re a classy bunch.

  3. No, Lindsay. People tend not to look too closely when it comes to their anthem songs. Think “Rockin’ in the Free World” and all those YouTube videos featuring American tanks and service members kicking ass set to the Team America: World Police theme.

    I blame Dancing With The Stars.

    I’m mostly disappointed by their lack of commitment. Way to phone it in, guys.

  6. I tried to explain to my mom why hearing White Wedding at my cousin’s wedding was funny.

    She was not impressed.

    Also, boo on this attempt to go viral and get on the Today Show, I expect effing magic from my crazy wedding dance videos – phoning it in like this won’t even get you on Kathie Lee and Hoda.

  7. But more importantly, I’d like to hear the conversation wherein she convinced her poor dad to learn that shitty choreography.

  8. UGH. this is why trying to plan a normal non-insane wedding is a headache. no, random acquaintance who i do not give two shits about, i’m NOT doing a father daughter dance to my girl because i don’t like him that way and he’s just not that into me.

  9. At my wedding, our dance is going to be to All The Single Ladies. And the dance is just going to be me.

    Boooooooorrrrrrrrrrrring….

  11. “Our family is just sooooo wacky!”

  12. I have never heard “White Wedding” at an actual wedding (really!) and I kind of like this (really!).

  13. I went to a wedding recently and the bride and father danced to a country song called “I Loved Her First”. Some lyrics:

    I was enough for her not long ago
    I was her number one
    She told me so
    And she still means the world to me
    Just so you know
    So be careful when you hold my girl
    Time changes everything
    Life must go on
    And I’m not gonna stand in your way

    But I loved her first and I held her first
    And a place in my heart will always be hers
    From the first breath she breathed
    When she first smiled at me
    I knew the love of a father runs deep
    And I prayed that she’d find you someday
    But it still hard to give her away
    I loved her first

    This is a little bit creepy, right? I mean, I know its an ode to a father’s love and all, but still, a little creepy?

  14. Afterwards they sang afternoon delight together

    When I was 10 at my cousin’s wedding, I went up to the cover band and requested “Like a Virgin”. It was 1985 and my favorite song.

  16. Wow. They are so fucking white.
