Please welcome the inaugural post of a new series: Great Love Songs That Are Completely Inappropriate for My Wedding. This series will visit songs I like/love that probably won't be played in a setting that will require me to explain the lyrics to my grandmother. Without further ado...
I am a life long Beatles fan, and think they have mastered the art of the love song. From All You Need Is Love to I Want To Hold Your Hand, my favorite, Something, and Ben's favorite, Here Come's the Sun, you could pretty much have a Beatles themed wedding and not hit a foul note. With one big, notable exception: Why Don't We Do It In The Road.
Fortunately, discussing the lyrics and why they are inappropriate is pretty simple in this case because they consist of one phrase, repeated. A lot.
Why don't we do it in the road
Why don't we do it in the road
No one will be watching us
Why don't we do it in the road
Now, while we can argue that I have a dirty mind, and nothing in the song is explicit, I think this song is clearly about sexy times. And I don't like to share my sexy times with my family. It's just not a family bonding activity. Furthermore, I think John, Paul, George and Ringo are giving really bad advice. I think doing it in the road is a bad idea and a sure recipe for road rash on your tush.
And just because no one is watching, doesn't mean public sexy times are a good idea.
