I guess, it’s just like any other event – people of all backgrounds want to hear different things. I, as a DJ probably would have not played it…

Hmm, how about at a sweet 16 where the birthday girl is getting her first car?

That’s pretty funny! I think that it’s fine, but then again, as an atheist, I’m not exactly an expert on religious etiquette.

The context does sound unusual. But I’ll admit, even with the sketchy lyrics, I’m a sucker for good melody and power notes. I like this song.

Jesus was Jewish. The first Christians were Jewish. However if you are not a Messianic Jew in modern times, then playing it at a Bar Mitzvah would be a bit odd.

I’m Christian and I can’t stand “Jesus Take the Wheel”. Personally, I think Jesus wants me to keep driving the car.

You have Sweethearts of the Rodeo on your iPod? Wow. Will you marry me?

The song isn’t played during the actual ceremony is it? That I’d find pretty weird. If it’s during the festivities afterwards then what’s the biggy? It’s just music the youngun’s enjoy.

I was at an event for the National Alliance for Mental Illness where the DJ played a certain song by Gnarls Barkley. Yep, that one.
