Cheesy DJ hell
Weddings, office christmas parties, dinner 'n' disco = living hell. The mobile disco DJ who hasn't bought anything new since 1989 and doesn't see why they should. How do they get away with playing Agadoo to a room fill of grown adults and still get work? I sit and fume, rage building, wondering why everyone else is dancing to The Music Man (pia pia pia noooooooooo).

At our last office christmas party, rage building, I announced that if he played the Grease Megamix (which is the ultimate signature track for the lazy bastard DJ as it enables them to sneak off for a piss), I would have to slap him.

At least I had the decency to explain why I was slapping him beforehand, so it didn't look like an unprovoked assault. I'm angry, but it doesn't mean I want a criminal record. Or to hear one.

My boyfriend's dad is one of this terrible breed
Only the music he plays is even worse, if possible. I keep joking to my boyfriend that if we ever get married, his dad's banned from doing the disco. Or at the very least, he's getting a strict playlist to stick to if he ever wants to see his grandchildren.

You're just bitter because you don't know how to do the macarena.

sadly for me
that just makes the crushing lack of any sense of musical taste worse

dont get me started
I despair that people are not more discerning. Honestly, actually have a musical taste but no, they dont care.
These people dance to that shit because people dance to that shit, and so the expectation is that you dance to that shit.

But woe betide you if you dont dance. No, you are either
*being grumpy or
*a snob

No I just have some self respect.

Now I like goth music, and 80's New Wave, and most electronica, and I fully accept not everyone is going to book Duran Duran/Fields of the Nephilm/The Editors for their wedding reception but atleast put some thought into it.

I completely agree.
Plus it's really hard to dance with my head up my own arse.

I will make a mental note to instruct the DJ only to play tracks from my Global Underground CDs at my wife's 30th then
