What songs should you never sing in front of your partner's parents?

I came here to say this. But basically I don't think any song by Bloodhound Gang would go down well. Unless it's in front of my parents. My dad loves them.

I didn't realise for years that 1 of the members is now a Radio 1 presenter. I wonder what the rest of them are doing now.

"The Sash My Father Wore" - best avoid that one if your partner happens to be from anywhere on the island of Ireland.

A mate of mine has a side gig in a wedding band, here are a couple of the songs they refuse to do... I touch myself - Divinyls Stacy's mom - Fountains of Wayne (they did do this once, requested by the best man - "Stacy's mom" turned out to be the bride!)

I may have accidentally been heard singing the chorus* to Guilty Conscience by Kneecap earlier today. By my step-grandma. Who is very old and very proper. But also, fortunately, quite deaf. *"Guilty conscience / no thanks / I meditate and have plenty of wanks..."

The thing that gets me about that song is that he keeps asking her the question, "is that alright?". It would be a real let down for him if she said no. "Oh, sorry love, I'll know you drove all night but I've got a headache".
