BLOG: The most inappropriate wedding songs ever
The soundtrack to marriage you'd love to hear… at someone else's wedding
If you're married, you'll be well aware of the arduous processes involved - venues, cakes and loathsome family members will do their upmost to make your trip down the aisle as pain-staking and wallet-crushing as possible. If you're not married yet, remember that a wedding is a joyous occasion filled with lovely family members, hilarious speeches and most importantly: music.
Once you've talked your partner out of choosing I Will Always Love You as a first dance, drawing up a wedding playlist is your chance to shine. We could give you some suggestions in that department but we figured a list of completely inappropriate songs would be far more entertaining. Sorry. Here's our guide to the music you'd love to hear… at someone else's wedding.
Entrance music
Highway to Hell - AC/DC
Comparing married life to hell is just down-right pessimistic.
Chariots of Fire - Vangelis
Just imagine a bride pretending to run down the aisle in slow motion. Amazing.
Gold Digger - Kanye West
If you overlooked the pre-nuptials - it's too late now.
Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter - Iron Maiden
The father of the bride is probably thinking this anyway!
Exit music
D-I-V-O-R-C-E - Dolly Parton
Didn't Britney Spears do this in Las Vegas?

Another One Bites The Dust - Queen
An ode to all your single guests. They're either laughing at your demise as a singleton or desperately scanning the room for a suitor of their own. Either way, this one's for them.
Exit Music (For A Film) - Radiohead
Depressing, morbid, inappropriate.
Like A Prayer - Madonna
Hopefully that waxwork in the corner of the church will come to life and join the party.
First dance
Fuck Her Gently - Tenacious D
Always a perfect photo moment… of your mother's facial expression.
Prodigy - Smack My Bitch Up
This is wrong in so many ways.
Findum Fuckum And Flee - NWA
After reading the song's title, we think it's safe to say that no explanation is needed here.
Too Drunk To Fuck - Dead Kennedys
In marriage, honesty is always the best policy.
