Romance would be instantly killed with any of these:

U Stink But I Love U by Mucky Pup ;
I F***ing Hate You by Godsmack ;
Love Stinks by Joan Jett or the J. Geils Band version

I'm In Love With A Stripper by T-Pain, unless he really is dating a stripper then its probably appropriate.

Another is Mr Personality By 20 Fingers Feat. Juliette

They call you Mr. Personality
You're so ugly

When I look at you
I go out of my mind
It's like I'm looking
At someone's behind
You make the children scream
And baby's cry
With your crusty teeth
And your blood shot eyes

Hey how about Closer by Nine inch nails, as Trent Rezner eloquently sings I want to f%$# you like an animal, lol. That would go down like a lead balloon don't you think?

The Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd.
Although, when I was 20ish, a group of us did sit down to dinner with 'Medle" playing in the background.. but that was then and the walls were bending. :)

What about "Wake me up before you go go",bit of George Michael should set the mood, lol.

I would love to see him when he comes to Perth but the venue here is pretty shocking, the tickets are an outrageous price and there is quite a bit of talk at the moment he may not make it. Still not sure but will see what happens.

Posted by: iaminperth at December 31, 2009 9:46 AM

Delving into the depths of musical knowledge of what not to play, never sing along to "Lola' by The Kinks, anything by The Bronski Beat, the Village People, or "She's got the Jack" by AC/DC. Others which may be deemed innappropiate are 'Oragsm addict' by The Buzzcocks, 'Satellite' and 'Did you no wrong' by the Sex Pistols There should be another list for wedding songs - there are too many cliche songs, and others where the guests and especially the staff should be issued with, 'Japanese short swords' in order to free themselves from the suffering. I am waitng for the day when someone is brave enough and honest enough to use 'Closer' by Nine inch nails. Or maybe have the bride and groom writhing around on the floor to the Divinyls, 'I touch myself ', that will fulfill the dream of getting it on to you tube.

Posted by: barataria at December 30, 2009 4:14 PM

What about the Mamas & the Papas 1966 song, "I Saw Her Again Last Night"?

Would make any woman feel just great about herself and her relationship! NOT!
The saddest thing that could happen to anyone IMHO!

"I saw her again last night,
And you know that I shouldn't
Just string her along; it's just not right
If I couldn't, I wouldn't.
But what can I do; I'm lonely too.
And it makes me feel so good to know
She'll never leave me.

I'm in way over my head;
Now she thinks that I love her (yeah, yeah)
Because that's what I said
Though I never think of her.
(No, no, never think of her)

But what can I do? I'm lonely too.
And it makes me feel so good to know
(And it makes me feel so good to know...)
She'll never leave me.

Every time I see that girl,
You know I wanna lay down and die.
But I really need that girl
Though I'm living a lie;
(Though I'm living a lie...)
It makes me wanna cry

I saw her again last night,
And you know that I shouldn't
Just string her along; it's just not right.
If I couldn't then I wouldn't,
But what can I do, I'm lonely too.
And it makes me feel so good to know
She'll never leave me.
(to know...know)

But what can I do? I'm lonely too.
Yeah, and it makes me feel so good to know
She'll never leave me.

Every time I see that girl,
You know I wanna lay down and die.
But I really need that girl
Though I'm living a lie
(Though I'm living a lie...)
It makes me wanna cry.

I saw her...
I saw her again last night.
And you know that I shouldn't (no, no)
Just string her along; it's just not right.
If I couldn't, I wouldn't;
I'm in way over my head (you say...)
Now she thinks that I love her (yeah, yeah)
Because that's what I said... "

G'day All,
I was just having a browse through and was going to do just that, have a browse. But when I saw the Pearljam Better Man had come up a few times I had to have a little chortle chortle tee hee moment. I was actually in relationship for about 2 yrs with this lady, and me being a huuuge fan of Pearljam I gad this playing in the car. Then out of the blue she said "you know this is how I feel..." Really. "She lies and says she's in love with him can't find a better man". Definate dampener from my side of things.

In that ilk I am now waiting for the next one who thinks we are like

"The Game" by Disturbed.

Roflmao.

Posted by: kenbewdy at December 6, 2009 3:31 PM

Ok, here's a couple more i'd probably steer clear of...

Fat Bottom Girls - Queen
Big Ole Butt - LL Cool J
Too drunk to fuck - Dead Kennedys
Mardy Bum - Arctic Monkeys (although it's a great tune)

Posted by: timmyg78 at November 10, 2009 11:37 PM

I think Hard Rock music could rattle the old bones and perhaps the date may finish before it started, I definitely think the gentle music would be the way to go specially the first dinner date.

Posted by: susieqtpie at September 21, 2009 5:57 PM

Hmmm ... as much as it is a terrific song, Talk Talk's opus to all things living "It's My Life" probably wouldn't get many kudos from the recipient partner to whom it is played ...
Less so even, The Waitresses assumptive yet asinine alliteration, "I Know What Boys Like" ...

Posted by: mystril at August 28, 2009 1:36 PM

"The Thong Song" .... how awkward would that be on a first date? lol

Posted by: elle23 at August 21, 2009 7:00 PM

There are some beautiful pieces from Enya, Enigma and Vangelis that will certainly set the mood for any occasion.

?? I agree with what you have said, and I actually wrote that it was "the ultimate denial song", because the fellow was obviously in denial. Music beautiful, but lyrics don't set the tone for a romantic evening.
:-)

Posted by: lafileuse at August 15, 2009 12:41 PM

Oh my...I would run if I heard Unfaithful by Rhianna...I have been on the end of that sort of thing and gee never again. That song still brings me to tears.

Posted by: luvdaocean at July 28, 2009 8:51 PM

SURE I CAN ADD TO THE LIST
Betterman - Pearl Jam
Not Fair - Lilly Allen
Run to You - Bryan Adams
Stacy's mom has got it going on - cant remember artist
Am i Ever Gonna See You Face Again - The Angels
Many more too but some wont go to print!!!!!!

Posted by: luckygirl74 at July 28, 2009 9:37 AM

lafileuse - "I'm Not in Love" is not "the ultimate denial of love song". It *is* a love song because the guy is in *denial*. "Be quiet - big boys don't cry.." 10cc were a very intelligent band & obviously *way* over some ppl's heads.

Now "Tainted Love" might be a song to avoid. & what about Dylan's "Idiot Wind" (heck, anything off "Blood on the Tracks" is probably best avoided...

Posted by: iamgam at July 27, 2009 10:18 PM

Find out what music the other person likes before the night and play that type of music, see if you can find out their fav song before hand and play that, you will score big brownie points not only does it show you care but it will also show you listen

I am surprised and attracted to people on here that actually seem to be able to come up with some form of original thought!!

Bigmouth Strikes Again by The Smiths.

With lyrics like this it's the obvious choice for ending a relationship...........

tooth in your head.
Oh ... sweetness, sweetness, I was only joking when I said by rights you should
be bludgeoned in your bed.

Reading through this I think I'll give music a miss if I ever get a date from RSVP...It sounds too dangerous! LOL
Seriously, I would hope that most people would be sensible enough not to read too much into it if an "innappropriate" song came on.

Actually, I find that a lot of men have that in their profiles as well ... and a lot seem to hate hip hop and rap.

I don't mind people being negative about something in their profiles ... it tells you as much about a person as the sorts of things they like and are positive about. If they are far more negative about things, well, that tells you a lot.

:-D

Some Girls by - Racy

Some girls will, some girls won't
Some girls need a lot of lovin' and some girls don't
Well, I know I've got the fever but I don't know why
Some say they will and some girls lie

So here I am in front of you
Not really knowing what to do
My heart is feeling something new
Nervously I turn away from you
I see the looks you're sending me
Is this the way it's meant to be?
It's something we should talk about
Just give me time to work it out

Etc

Several women do, too, I imagine! Maybe for different reasons, though. I haven't heard the actual song yet ... but the ad reminds me of all the times that you do something for no particular reason, except that it is amusing to you at the time, forget that you've done it, and it comes back to bite/embarass you.

Posted by: greeneyednikita at April 5, 2009 1:33 PM

Love to hear what some of the songs in those books were, Lafileuse.
There would probably be a few oh so embarrassing trips down memory lane for some people.
I lived in north-western Victoria in my late teens/early twenties and it was a long drive to get anywhere. Car radios were just wonderful for playing some embarrassing song during an awkward silence when travelling with a new boyfriend.
As was the music played at interval at the Drive-in!

Posted by: amberlight58 at April 5, 2009 12:08 AM

What about 'Having my baby' yikes, that would be an outta there moment !

Posted by: iaminperth at April 4, 2009 9:09 PM

I can recommend two books by Tom Reynolds I found in bargain bins outside Dymocks:

"Touch me, I'm Sick - The 52 creepiest love songs you've ever heard" and "I hate myself and want to die - the 52 most depressing songs you've erver heard".

Don't know what's special about 52, but they are an interesting read ... keep thinking, "Oh, yeah ... I remember that one!"

Probably less than appropriate for a bloke to have Paul Kelly's Right Outta My Head on the player when trying to impress.

For a gal, well, probably wise to mute any of Tina Turner's songs from the period when she was escaping a tortuous relationship with Ike.

Posted by: bellibone at April 3, 2009 12:14 PM

Talkng about creating atmosphere with music. I can remember in my late teens/early twenties my mother, who was dating again (she was in her mid-40s then), taking a liking to a particularly suggestive song called "I want to kiss you all over" (Can't remember who/what band actually sang the song).
She was having a new boyfriend around for a meal (we were told to be absent for the evening) and my sister told me that as she was racing out of the door, at the same time the new man was pulling up, our mother who liked to think she was very trendy and years younger than her age, was playing this song loudly on the stereo.

The next day our mother complained that this guy just tried to grope her all night! (I can't understand why!)

My mother always flirted quite suggestively, but was not really ready for the 80s.
She had met my father in her early 20s in an era where 'nice' gentleman didn't try anything until you'd at least gone out with them a few times no matter how outrageously you flirted.
Was quite a learning curve for her!

Posted by: amberlight58 at April 3, 2009 10:47 AM

Or the ultimate denial song, "I'm not in Love" 10cc

Wouldn't want to hear that during a romantic evening. Pretty music, in spite of the lyrics.

I'd try not to read too much into the choice of music, though. I've known people who aren't into lyrics at all, just the music, and when I've asked how they could like a particular song given what is being said, they were totally clueless ... hadn't really *listened* to the words at all.

Maybe I'm reading more into this topic than there is (wouldn't be the first time!), but choice of music shouldn't be yet one more thing we stress about. It should be natural and shouldn't be a case of calculation: "What do I want this person to believe about me - how do I want this evening to end ... what music will do this?" Isn't it more about finding music that is a backgroud, that blends in with the setting, the mood of the evening, who we are and what we hope our partner will enjoy - something that makes the whole greater than the sum of the parts?

:-)

Have you listened to the cd called "Break up Songs" ? Just to mention a few "Love is pain" by Amanda Perez, "Don't wanna try" by Frankee J. We also got these songs here "One of Us" and "The winner takes it all" by Abba, "Time after time" Cindy Lauper, "Love is a battlefield" by Pat Benater. "Womanizer" by Britney to mention some more. There must be thousands of them out there.

I had a first date lunch meeting with a *very* nice man. It was great until a young woman set up her guitar and *amplifier* in the corner of the cafe. The space did not justify an amplifier. She was talented, but it would have been nicer without the amp ... and I have to say she had *stamina*. We finished the meal faster than we should have and adjourned to somewhere else for coffee ... and a chance to talk. The relationship didn't last, but I don't blame the amp.

Have to agree on that one BRG. Loud music at any time can be an annoyance unless it is as a music festival or concert but trying to have a conversation with someone with music blaring out is a no go for me as well. It sort of smacks of indifference and a general who gives a toss attitude I think.
