Probably best sticking to an instrumental, such as Alexa de Paris or Father’s Song. Whenever I look to deeply into Prince lyrics, there’s nearly always a line or two that is like a teenager’s humour, e.g. U Got the Look with it’s let’s get to rammin’ one.

Nothing creepy here:

I thought you guys decided Wasted kisses wasnt about his son ?

Edit : nevermind, I saw it was sarcasm.

Damn, so no PG Prince songs exist ?

Let me suggest Starfish and Coffee or Last December then.

Just ignore the histrionics.

Starfish and Coffee works but Last December is a bit dark for a wedding.

Sick with an instemental: maybe Alexa De Paris?

Beautiful Girl is an instrumental version of The most beautiful girl in the world. This would remove any "tricky" lyrics. You could start with the sung opening chorus before going into the instrumental version

Rumeta ?

OP is trolling to expose all Prince love songs are about gettin in dem drawerz.

madison said:

The reason I picked beautiful ones because it’s my favorite and I would cut it off before he starts screaming at the end

That would work - Most people will only know the main phrases, so you really don't need to be too concerned with some of the other lines.

In Australia many people have played "My Happiness" by Powderfinger at their wedding because it sounds like a happy song and in the video clip the boy is reunited with his lost toy at the end. However, the song is about losing their happiness in a break up.

In summary: short of some of the more directly explicit or inappropriate songs, go with what you both like.

"The Song of the Heart"?

Starfish and Coffee is about a child with mental retardation, not sure that's the best image for daddy's little girl either.

It doesn't say it in the song. Only Prince superfans know this.

It's clearly something, unfamiliar with backstory. Any way, "wedding song", not preschool graduation ceremony.

Sure, but you have to know the history of the song to know this. Most don't know that the original Cynthia was autistic.

It also has the benefit of being one of the songs Prince chose as suitable to sing in the Muppets.

Just put on Raffi "Wheels on the Bus"

Because the muppets would've been watched by kids with development issues. That makes sense. In this context, it does not. People will be making the associations. If they like the song they hear, they'll ask what it is. On and on. There's so many better songs, even one you suggested, that would fit without questions.

Which is why I also said go with what the two people like (within the limits of audience). Whichever song they both like and have no qualms dancing to in front of their friends and family (especially the young, old or more intolerant) is absolutely fine.

Why do you imagine that the bride's family and friends will think the father is calling has daughter autistic IF they choose this song. It is a sweet song and you don't have to ever mention anything about the orginal Cynthia.

You are missing the point.

If it is OK to play on the Muppets, it is OK to play at virtually any wedding.

S&C was never sold as a song just for children. The Muppet show was not Sesame Street. It was watched by adults just as much as by children and there were some quite adult sketches.

Right, why not songs like this one? There's plenty really. Who even says you gotta dance to a Prince song during the father/daughter dance? It's like if your favorite song is Pony by Ginuwine, something still has to override that and appropriateness enters the conversation. Make Your Mama Happy Song of the Heart Wherever U Go Baby I'm A Star Diamonds and Pearls (why has nobody said this but they will say sexual songs?) Get Yo Groove On Until You're In My Arms Again (actually written about a child) Black Muse Big City Yes So many options but y'all perverts.

Black muse , Get yo Groove on and Big city are not fit for a father daughter dance at a wedding.

Father-daughter dances are usually slow.

I actually named Starfish and Coffee because I couldn't think of other PG songs at the moment but even that one is a bit too upbeat.
