"Bad" songs at JW weddings (page 2)

The only song I can remember from the numerous jw weddings I have been to is "Celebration" by Kool and the Gang

I can't stand the song now

Not Feeling It

This just caused a crazy flashback for me.

I was at a wedding for a JW girl I went to school with. She had a band at the reception. At some point they played "Sex Machine" by James Brown. Crazy funny. Nooooooooobody danced. Classic stuff, really.

Can I get a "what! what!?"

"I'm here to please

I'm even on my knees

making love to whoever I please"

Loverboy's song Turn Me Loose got us slammed more than a few times at parties and weddings. All would be going so well, then my bro or I would slip the cassette into the rotation. That notorious opening bassline would signal the elders' mad scramble to try and stop the cassette from reaching the words I quoted above! LOL

Here in the Upper Midwest, almost every wedding reception had a polka -- except if the bride and groom were of the African-American persuasion. Somehow "Beer Barrel Polka", that ode to drunken good times, often was played, as was the "Too Fat Polka", surely a song disrespectul to women. But the elders never stopped these decadent songs!!

LOL. I clicked on this thread thinking you were going to talk about BAD kingdom melodies played at weddings.. How many a bride have walked down the aisle at the kingdom hall to "The shulimite maiden."

I made up my own lyrics. (lord strike me down.)

"The shulimite maiden, so lovely and fair, how like the sand is your wavy brown hair. Were all dressed up now, and looking our best, hey remember that party where I touched your breasts, er I mean chest? Now I'll go to bethel and you'll pop out kids, and we'll both do our part to please the F&DS (pronounced FIDS, hey if they can make the T'wer sound then anything is game..)

Your new hubby's a loner, from some other town. But Your dad got him a job cleaning windows and ground. Excuse me I'm leaving going to drink myself sick, I hope for your sake sweetie he's got a big.........."

I am sorry I opened this thread on a FRIDAY. Now I have to listen to AC/DC music today.
Their stuff is only heavy party music. JW's love to celebrate when they are actually allowed to.
It shows how repressed they are.

I remember going to a reception deep in the Bible belt. A guy from our cong. married a girl from
there. The reception played much dance music, but it was clean. The guy's cong. members
danced, young and old. The girl's cong. members, only the young danced.

It was commented in the speech by the MC when the whole thing concluded that their little girl
was certainly going to a different culture. The speech was a total downer- good thing it was at
the end of the whole thing.

I also remember receptions where the groom or the guy in charge (some elder) would be running
up to the DJ when some "questionable" song started. It was always a hoot.

Here's a link to the AC/DC song in question: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bomv-6CJSfM&feature=related

"Gett Off" by Prince

j/k...I've never been to a jw wedding.

Music was always heavily suppressed at our weddings, thanks to an uptight PO.

We were allowed some bluegrass, and dancing only consisted of "Square Dancing"... did I mention it's a very hick town....

Sounds like some of you were allowed to actually have a "Good Time"...
