shotgun wedding is when the bride is pregnant and her dad/brother makes the groom marry her
@johnjohn37371 2 жыл бұрын
Not always even a pregnant bride. My family is from Appalachia and there were many promised weddings from birth that ended up with shotguns involved...I know, I attended a couple!

From Billy Idol's autobiography, Dancing With Myself: "I stared at the blank piece of scrap paper in front of me. Taking the pen sitting alongside it in hand, I wrote 'white wedding' at the top. What made me think of that? Well, my sister had recently gone to the altar pregnant. And while that fact was perfectly all right with everyone, seeing as how she loved the guy, I started thinking how, in the more recent past, this would have been called a 'shotgun wedding'. I started to imagine an alternative reality, one in which I was pissed off at this violation of my sister and I arrive at the wedding hell-bent on revenge."

Interesting. I always thought he was actually referring to his sister and not his sis-tah. I do think Billy Idol was imagining something a little deeper and darker than he admits here. There seem to be some incestuous overtones the way he's talking down to her now and her new "little husband." Like, you know I've been gone, but you also know we've shared a lot of beds together growing up and that you really "want" me. I'm the one you dream of and the delusion of a perfect marriage will end again. I also image this isn't her first time at the alter, which accounts for some of his cynicism. But she's rather as disturbed as he is. None of this is to say he actually thought this about his own sister, just that he let the perversions in his mind out for a little walk when writing the lyrics. And nobody say I'm projecting!

My granny had a shotgun wedding. Her suitor took her on a buggy ride and they were gone too long. She said when they got back her daddy was on the porch with a shotgun in his lap and a preacher by his side. She was 13. They stayed married until he died of old age, then she got remarried at the age of 80. ✌️

The reference to "White Wedding" is simply the bride in a white gown. The more interesting thing is the "Shot Gun" reference is to a "Shot Gun" wedding. In other words they have to get married and "start again", a new life. Back in my day it was because of her being pregnant the wedding has to be faster than planned.
@garyr8739 2 жыл бұрын
It wasn't just that she was pregnant. Usually father showed up with the shotgun and made the guy marry his daughter - or die - hence, shotgun wedding. Also, white was supposed to represent that she is still a virgin on her wedding. A widow, for example, should not wear white if she remarried - at least in the old days. Now, most people don't give a s@#t. No one expects the woman to be a virgin at her wedding - even though, I have heard some do exist - lmao.

His stage presence and unique mannerisms are a big part of his persona. “Mony Mony” is a great video (live) and a great example of this. There will only ever be ONE Billy Idol.

Its not about drugs. Its a forced wedding, which is called a 'shotgun wedding'. The bride is pregnant and the groom is forced or pressured to marry the young lady, "Shot Gun' wedding. White stands for purity in most weddings, seems as if, Billy is being sarcastic about the circumstances of the wedding in the lyrics. "Little sister" maybe and ex-girl friend or his actual sister.

The video for this song help launch Billy Idol to stardom. It was directed by David Mallet, who had worked with Queen and David Bowie. Idol had little cash, so Mallet cut him a break on his fee. The concept was a "nightmare wedding," with a Goth guy (Idol) marrying a normal girl, with some vampire imagery thrown in. The bride was played by Perri Lister, who was Billy's girlfriend. The resulting video contained some of the most indelible images seen on MTV, including the barbed-wire wedding ring, the motorcycle crashing through the church window, and the dancers slapping their own butts in time to the music.

A white wedding is formal wedding, with the dress color being white. This term originated in Great Britain. Princess Di had a white wedding. It’s meaning has morphed over time and does not simply mean the dress. In Christianity white denotes purity, new beginnings, etc. Babies are baptized in white gowns, Jesus is depicted wearing a white gown.

It's the reverse of the purity of a "white wedding" because the bride has come to her wedding in "the family way" as they used to say so of course it's the shotgun wedding that's really happening. If you saw the official video, you wouldn't wonder. This song came out in 1982. Classic 80s MTV favorite.

Billy Idol had a bucket load of charisma and was some performer and still is with his latest song Bitter Taste. For a real Billy Classic apart from Rebel Yell which i know both of you have viewed have a look at To be a lover, racy as heck and full of energy and vibe...one of the back up singers in the group is the same girl from the Aha "take on me" single. Billy Idol was different and original and is still rocking today...albeit a little slower!. Thanks for the review

It's Not about drugs. It's about a Shotgun wedding for his sister who probably goy knocked up when he was gone so now she has to has to get married ASAP. White Wedding refers to a white wedding dress that represents purity of the bride, so in other words before she starts showing she better get that white dress on and put on that wedding ring... the shotgun part is referring to the Father of the bride pointing a shotgun at the groom basically saying "you gonna Marry her Now!" hence the Shotgun [white] Wedding

The song is about his love for a woman who is marrying someone else, although he still loves her. The idea for the song actually comes from his sister, who was pregnant and getting married. He was always on the road and when he comes home he finds out the woman he loves is getting married. He says, "there's nothing fair in this world" and it's time for him to make a new start but he thought about getting a shotgun and taking them out. White signifies a new start and pure. PS.

Shotgun wedding is when the bride is pregnant. White wedding refers to her wedding dress. He even says it "There is nothing pure in this world" meaning she wasn't "pure" when she got married. It's a Catholic thing. Brides who aren't "pure" aren't supposed to wear white wedding gowns.

So, As far as the term "white wedding" goes, it just means a traditional wedding where the bride wears a white dress (symbolizing purity/virginity). Billy also refers to "shotgun"... which is referring to a "shotgun wedding", which means the bride got knocked up before marriage and the bride's (to be) father (or sometimes brother, or other) is forcing the groom to marry her (possibly with a double barrel to said near-future groom's face). Yep. That happens. As it probably should. And when he's saying "little sister" it could be literal. Or it could be a term used for a young woman. Like "baby" or "little girl" or even "mama". Again... yep. And that's how I know it. And that's how I like it. Keep it realz...
