The Story Behind White Wedding

Billy Idol got the original idea for White Wedding from his actual sister’s wedding, even though the “little sister” in the song refers to a former lover.

The story to the song White Wedding is that Billy Idol’s ex-girlfriend has just gotten married in a shotgun wedding. It is a shock to him and he is mad about it, and he implies that they may have not even broken up their relationship before she suddenly married someone else.

Throughout the lyrics to White Wedding, Billie Idol questions her concerning her decision to do this. The song is set and actually takes place on the day she is getting married to someone else. Billie Idol wrote this song himself, with it being released in 1982. The music video for White Wedding features Billie Idol’s actual ex-girlfriend.

The song is a popular singalong song at drunken karaoke bars. It’s a real screamer.

Hey little sister what have you done?
Hey little sister who’s the only one?
Hey little sister who’s your superman?
Hey little sister who’s the one you want?
Hey little sister shot gun!

It’s a nice day to start again.
It’s a nice day for a white wedding.
It’s a nice day to start again.

Hey little sister who is it you’re with?
Hey little sister what’s your vice and wish?
Hey little sister shot gun (oh yeah)
Hey little sister who’s your superman?
Hey little sister shot gun!

It’s a nice day to start again (come on)
It’s a nice day for a white wedding
It’s a nice day to start again.

(Pick it up)

Take me back home

Hey little sister what have you done?
Hey little sister who’s the only one?
I’ve been away for so long (so long)
I’ve been away for so long (so long)
I let you go for so long

It’s a nice day to start again (come on)
It’s a nice day for a white wedding
It’s a nice day to start again.

There is nothin’ fair in this world
There is nothin’ safe in this world
And there’s nothin’ sure in this world
And there’s nothin’ pure in this world
Look for something left in this world
Start again

Come on
It’s a nice day for a white wedding
It’s a nice day to start again.
It’s a nice day to start again.
It’s a nice day to start again
