I find "Sweet Home Alabama" to be a better choice
Which means it's now replaced "Rocket Man" in my head. Less annoying, but more likely to make me break out the air guitar while at work, so I'd really like to get rid of it. Meanwhile, either one is better than what I had stuck in my head while flying to Michigan, which was "Rednecks". Blurting that one out would be bad in all kinds of ways.
ETA: You know, I can and will have a conversation with myself if no one joins me. I have no shame.
Oh, and also, I'm not sure "Love Shack" is really the universal crowd-pleaser wedding DJs think it is.
No, neither is
Old Time Rock and Roll,
nor
Celebration.
Tainted Love
is good, although this DJ skipped that one. Other than
Love Shack
as his closer (better, at least, than Rock Lobster) and the inexplicable absence of Tainted Love, he was pretty good. Even included Lady in Red, which is my shameful secret love.
Oops. Not so good with those shameful secrets, am I.

LIR has a special place in my heart, too. It was the love theme for Patch and Kayla, lo, these many years ago on Days of Our Lives.
I hate
Lady in Red.
Oh no, wait. I don't. I hate Simply Red. Ah, the 80s.

Yes! This exact memory is what reminded me that I didn't hate it.

Holding back the years? That one bugs you? Fair enough.
If we're talking 80s songs that originally pleased but now annoy, I offer Back on the Chain Gang, although I still love Middle of the Road for the lyric that I wrote across my American History final ("If you own a big chunk of the bloody third world, the babies just come with the scenery"). Perhaps unsurprisingly, my mark on that exam was not stellar.
happy birthday Sue.
lady in red was one of those songs that was my song at wedding, because I always wore red at weddings.
