I know I’ve talked about it a lot, but back in my country club busser days, I worked a LOT of weddings. And I very quickly built an internal list of songs I fucking loathed hearing, because of how annoying they were or how I’d hear them at literally every single wedding I ever worked (I’m sure Neil Diamond is a decent man, but FUCK “Sweet Caroline”).
I thought about actually writing a list of this stuff from scratch, but thanks to the polling site FiveThirtyEight, I don’t have to. They polled two dozen wedding DJs who’d worked about 200 weddings and asked them what songs the bride and groom banned. This is the tallied results.
Well, kind of. I’m not posting the full list, only the top 21. Why? Because several of these songs are tied for certain slots, and nine songs alone are tied for 13th place (so, if you see repeating numbers next to the song names, that’s why). Without further ado…
