🥴 Your Drunk Cousin Has Playlist Opinions—Here’s How Your DJ Politely Destroys Them

Because someone needs to protect the party from 13 back-to-back Pitbull remixes.

Thank you for reading this post, I look forward to hearing from you soon!  :-)

Every wedding has one.

The cousin who starts the night sipping light beer and ends it shouting, “Trust me, the crowd wants Creed right now.”

You’ve got the dress, the décor, the dream vendor team… and then you’ve got Cousin Chad, who just decided he’s co-DJ of the evening because he once made a fire playlist for a pool party in 2014.

As your DJ, it’s my job to keep the energy up, the transitions smooth, and the vibes vibing.
It’s also my job to gently—but firmly—protect your dance floor from derailment via unsolicited SoundCloud deep cuts, mid-speech song swaps, and “this one’s a banger, bro” energy.

Let’s break down exactly how I do it—with a smile on my face and zero Creed in the speakers.

🎤 Step 1: The Approach (It Always Starts with a Sway)

I see him coming from across the room.

Loose tie.
Empty beer in one hand, full confidence in the other.
Walking like the music’s already inside him.
He leans on the DJ booth and slurs the sacred phrase:

“Yo. Play ‘Sandstorm’. But like… now.”

Ah, yes. The Drunk Wedding DJ Takeover Attempt. Classic.

😅 Step 2: The Friendly Deflection

Here’s what I say:

“Haha, solid throwback! I’ll see if I can work that in a little later.”

Translation:

“Not in a million years, my friend.”

You see, while Cousin Chad thinks the crowd needs “Cotton-Eyed Joe,” I’ve already crafted a musical timeline so airtight it could pass airport security.

It’s not just about playing requests.
It’s about protecting the energy.

This is not his moment.
This is your moment.
And I’m guarding it like a nightclub bouncer with rhythm and polite vocabulary.

🎧 Step 3: Strategic Substitution

Sometimes, I’ll meet him halfway.

Requested: “WAP” during dinner.
Delivered: A classy, instrumental remix of a female empowerment anthem that won’t make your grandma choke on her salad.

Requested: “Gangnam Style” three times.
Delivered: Literally anything else in Korean. Bonus points if no one notices.

Requested: “Enter Sandman” during the bouquet toss.
Delivered: Beyoncé. Everyone cheered. No one noticed. The bridesmaids survived.

It’s a mix of diplomacy, DJ wizardry, and emergency vibe redirection—all done without breaking a sweat.

🍺 Step 4: The Sobriety Buffer

As the night goes on, so do the requests.

Each one becomes less about the crowd and more about personal emotional expression:

• “Play ‘Wonderwall’… it’s how I heal.”

• “Dude, I need Kenny Loggins. Like spiritually.”

• “Trust me. Everyone wants techno polka. Just trust me.”

At this point, I deploy what I call The Sobriety Buffer:

I nod. I smile.
I wait for him to get distracted by the dessert table or his own reflection.
Then I gently re-pivot to “Uptown Funk” and bring the room back from the brink of accordion chaos.

🎵 Step 5: The Couple-First Principle

Here’s the truth: I do take requests.
But your wedding isn’t an open mic night.

My #1 priority is you.
Not the guy in the wrinkled vest who’s trying to convince me to play a 9-minute EDM track “for the culture.”

If you’ve said “no line dances,” I’m not sneaking in the Cha Cha Slide.
If your “do-not-play list” includes Nickelback, then guess what? Nickelback is dead to me.

I build your soundtrack based on your style, your story, and your level of tolerance for early-2000s nu-metal.
I love a fun request—but not when it takes us from wedding magic to chaotic frat party.

🎧 Final Thought:

Your drunk cousin may have opinions.
But your DJ?
Your DJ has a plan.

A plan that keeps the energy flowing, the crowd moving, and the music reflective of your style—not Chad’s college mixtape.

At DJ Rock My World, I bring professional gear, years of experience, and the ability to say “No” to the worst requests without ever sounding rude.
It’s an art.
It’s a vibe.
It’s a public service.
