Tragedy Music Video

I bet if they pay any attention at all to it gen z (or gen alpha which is actually same age I was when the song/video came out!!!) will just tell each other "they didn't even have youtube back then, that's why"...

But no, we asked at the time too.

Why on earth did people play Tragedy at their weddings? If it was a registry office do, the bride might even walk in to it playing 🙄

The video was about brides running off with other men & grooms being "kidnapped". Not very romantic.

The name being "tragedy". Yes when it came out, I needed to look it up in a dictionary. But I was 10. Adults getting married should know, tragedy = sad.

It was all over the TV like switch on totp or smtv or, if you had Sky, mtv and you'd see it. If you hadn't, maybe use a different CD?

So I'm thinking it's 3 things. 1 sense of irony & humour so doing it on purpose 2 it's the kinda danceable tune that's fun at weddings (with a set dance and everything) or 3 (reception only) a kinda "well we married even if they didn't in the music video sense of relief.
