I would say Mr bright side is the most vanilla song you could play. It’s like known for being the go-to song for basic people.
It’s kind of about cuckoldry. It’s also kind of a guy complaining about the friend zone. But I mean really it’s just a teenage angst song about confused feelings.
I might be dating myself, but I’ve never known anyone who actually liked the song, besides my nephew for a week. Played it? Yes. It was on the radio for ages, after all. Enjoyed? No.
It broke the record for how long it was on the UK top 100 list. That was in the mid 2000s IDK what the time frame is to have it be the popular song during weddings but that’s why it gets played. I think also as a dj it’s a guaranteed hit for the same reason even if it’s not the bride or grooms absolute favorite song.
I am born 99 and have never heard the song on radio. And while I love the early 2000 pop-rock/pop-punk stuff, I only got to know the song 2021. So for me it is still a banger. Though I really like the Killer’s first album anyway
Or when the bride + father of the bride dance is “Daughters” by John Mayer. The song’s about parental abandonment/neglect and the negative effects it has on kids.
Oh, you see that skin?
It’s the same she’s been standing in
Since the day she saw him walking away
Now she’s left
Cleaning up the mess he made
Which makes it kind of an odd choice to dance with your loving father to.
A song about cuckoldry at a wedding? Are all of my friends just super vanilla, or is that not a weird choice?
Djs will play anything with a good rhythm to dance to, lyrics be damned.
People just don’t listen to song lyrics, it’s bizarre.
As Andre 3000 said in his wedding staple “hey ya”
That song is incredible. Somehow both optimistic and overly realist about love and social contracts and sung by a guy wearing a feathered cap.
And Big Boi will still always swear that Andre is the realist person he ever met and I 100% believe him.
We live in a world where the Republicans think that “Born In The USA” and “We’re Not Gonna Take It” and “YMCA” celebrate their values.
“Never stop raging against the machine!”
“Dude, you are the machine.”
Some of those who hold office
Are the same that burn crosses.

It’s too much of a banger to deny though.

Self-love is a wonderful quality

I liked it, always preferred Andy, you’re a star the most but the whole killers lineup was enjoyable at the time.

It’s a nostalgia thing for sure now.

I’ve been to 2 weddings in a row where they had “Bye Bye Bye” I don’t think people really care about the lyrics
Wasn’t that song about n’sync winning financial freedom from Lou Pearlman?
My favorite was Hinder’s “Lips of an Angel” being played at weddings.
Oh, eeeeeeeeeeewwwwwww! I think a community to roast wedding playlists might do society a solid.
