I Want Candy
“My husband was a groomsman for one of his best friends a few years back. They’ve been friends since high school, and they used to go around late at night with a boom box playing “Lollipop” (a 1950s girl-group song). So at the wedding reception, my husband sneaks over to the DJ and requests the song to surprise his friend. He even makes sure to ask the DJ if he has that specific song so the friend will get the joke. DJ assures him he has it. The night starts winding down and no song, we assume he forgot, oh well. Then out of nowhere, the DJ comes on with ‘And now a special request for the groom’ and plays a dirty rap song (mind you, the groom is really not into rap). The bride looks horrified, and we’re trying to figure out what is going on, and then I catch a lyric or two and realize the DJ is playing the Lil’ Wayne song “Lollipop” instead of the one my husband asked for. The mother-of-the-bride storms over and demands the song be shut off and we all have a good laugh.”
