As we grow nearer to fall, we also grow nearer to "cuffing season," that special time of year where all of your friends seem to be getting into relationships or engaged, and all the people left single are more bitter about their relationship status than ever before. For those of you in the midst of wedding planning, you're going to reach the point where you and your spouse are to choose one special song to dance to for the first time as a married couple. This song has to be absolutely perfect. While I'm not here to tell you what song you should choose, I thought myself the perfect person to share my wisdom on terrible songs that no couple should ever even consider. If you and your significant other have or are seriously considering any song on this list, please do yourselves a favor and maybe seek out a counselor before the big day.

1."I'm in Love (Wit a Stripper)" - T-Pain

No shade if you are in fact in love with a stripper.

2. "It Wasn't Me" - Shaggy

This is more of a "privacy of your own home" discussion.

3. "I Hate Everything About You" - Three Days Grace

Although my boyfriend and I exchange joking "I hate yous" on the daily.

4. "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" - Panic! At The Disco

The poor groom's bride is a...lovely person.

5. "Gold Digger" - Kanye West

At least she's being honest.

6. "You Can't Always Get What You Want" - The Rolling Stones

If you didn't want it, why are you doing it?

7. "Stacy's Mom" - Fountains of Wayne

*Bonus points if your betrothed is in fact named Stacy.

8. "All My Ex's Live in Texas" - George Strait

This is just my opinion but...maybe don't talk about your ex's?

9. "You Give Love a Bad Name" - Bon Jovi

I really hope I don't need to explain why this is a dumb idea.

10. "Scotty Doesn't Know" - Lustra

If Scotty didn't know before, he definitely knows now.

11. "Who Let The Dogs Out" - Baha Men

If you've never actually paid attention to the message of this song, please do yourself a favor and Google the lyrics. Yikes.

12. "We Are Family" - Sister Sledge

Double yikes.

13. "Mambo No. 5" - Lou Bega

Sandra...Mary...Jessica...Erica...Lou Bega really got around.

14. "Fat Bottomed Girls" - Queen

You and your spouse may find it funny, but please spare your guests from an uncomfortable situation.

15. "IDFWU" - Big Sean


Choose your playlist wisely. Here's to a happy cuffing season.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
