I couldn’t help noticing at MBLV 20 that a fair number of DJs (me included) were overweight. The choices are slim and the food isn’t healthy. You hop in your vehicle and just want something to eat. We’ve all been in this scenario, its 1 am and you just finished loading up after crushing an event. Endless appetizers, heavy meals, big desserts, candy stations! The list goes on. We are surrounded by temptation and bad food choices. ![]() Normal eating habits just do not apply to us. We leave for work late in the afternoon and return late at night or early in the morning. Ten Tips To Being A Healthier DJApby Michael CordeiroAdmit it, as DJs we have weird schedules. Avoid at all costs, and stick with Rick James’ “Super Freak” or “Give it to Me.” This graphic song is cringeworthy at a seedy karaoke night, let alone at a wedding. If you must play Zeppelin at your wedding, try “All of My Love” or “Thank You.” For a beach wedding, try their hidden gem “Down by the Seaside.” Yet this anthem is hard to dance to with its long, uncomfortable breakdowns. Led Zeppelin is my favorite rock band of all time. Modernize your wedding with a newer line dance such as the “Cupid Shuffle.” However, this cheesy line dance has grown even more fungus with age. Line dances at a wedding can be great ice breakers. Otherwise, try soulful crooner Gaye’s “Aint’ No Mountain High Enough” or super-funky “Got to Give it Up” which your DJ can then skillfully mix into Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines.” If you enjoy hearing about war, picket lines and police brutality, then play this song at your wedding. ![]() If you crave a rock and roll sing-a-long, try Def Leppard’s “Pour Some Sugar on Me” or Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin.” But if you really enjoy the theatrical aspects of this song, I say go ahead, bend the rules and have some fun! One of the song’s final lyrics, “praying for the end of time, so I can end my time with you” is hardly romantic. It is a time hog at over ten minutes long. It could be a personal pet peeve of mine, but I really do not like this song. Paradise by the Dashboard Light – Meatloaf.If you love the Stones, try “Start Me Up” or another hit song from their extensive catalog. This infectious rock n’ roll jam regrettably contains lyrics that one music critic describes as “gross, sexist and stunningly offensive to black women” – trust us, the lyrics are that bad. As a disco alternative at a similar tempo, try Cheryl Lynn’s uplifting “Got To Be Real.” This song is about a woman’s turmoil and strength after a breakup. As a substitute, try George McCrae’s “Rock Your Baby.” ![]() However, the premise of the song is that Rawl’s former partner will never find a love as good as his post their breakup. ![]() This song oozes sex appeal with Rawl’s baritone voice over a vintage piano and strings disco arrangement.
