...Special or somber occasion? If a random track was played from your vault at said occasion, what would cause Aunt Lilly or Uncle Vernon or whoever to twitch about most uncomfortably?

For example, Funerals:

- People Who Died
- Death's Door
- I Know It's Over

Other tracks/occasions? Bonus points if the NW-ers in the crowd would think the choice most appropriate.

I laugh when they play U2's "One" as a romantic song at weddings...the song is basically about how the The Edge and his wife broke up! I once went over to the DJ and explained thi

When i was a kid i always imagined White wedding played as i kissed the bride in a catholic church wedding. Not new wave but TSOL's code blue freaks everyone out.

Morrissey/The Smiths have surely lots of ironic songs for different occasions...

Here's one for a b-day:

I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday
because you're evil and you lie and if you should die, I may feel slightly sad (but I won't cry)...
