Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox song "Crashed the Wedding" is a song by English pop punk band Busted. It was written by James Bourne and McFly's Tom Fletcher and produced by Steve Power. It was released in Japan on 8 November 2003 and in the United Kingdom on 10 November as the lead single from Busted's second studio album, A Present for Everyone (2003).

"Crashed the Wedding" became Busted's second single to reach number one on the UK Singles Chart, with first week sales of 55,000, as well as the final UK number one single to be available on cassette. The song is loosely based on the wedding scene in the 1967 film The Graduate and the line "I'm so rushed off my feet, looking for Gordon Street" is a reference to the 1993 film Wayne's World 2. The song was nominated for the People's Choice Award at the 2004 Music Vision Awards.

Music video

Charlie Simpson (pictured with James Bourne) wore drag for both the "Crashed the Wedding" music video, and the 2018 "Nineties" music video.

The music video, which is all one shot, features Busted playing at a wedding in which nearly all the guests are portrayed by the band members. Busted then go on to destroy the wedding, wrecking the cake and knocking over tables. A scene involving one character spanking another was edited out when the video was aired during the daytime. Before the song begins, a muzak version of Busted's first single "What I Go to School For" is heard. Willis, Bourne and Simpson portray Adam Ant, Michael Jackson and Boy George impersonators respectively. Harry Judd from McFly plays the drummer in the video.

Live performances

The single was also promoted by appearances on Top of the Pops, Top of the Pops Saturday, CD:UK, Popworld, the Royal Variety Performance, Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway, and as one of the interval acts at Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2003.

Since release

In 2011, the single was chosen by listeners on BBC Radio 1's request show. The song was then campaigned to become the 2011 Christmas number one on Facebook.

2023 version

On 23 June 2023, Busted released "Crashed the Wedding 2.0", in a collaboration with American band All Time Low. The single is expected to be included in their forthcoming studio album of remade Busted tracks.

Busted member Charlie Simpson said: "I've been listening to All Time Low since they released their debut EP Put Up or Shut Up back in 2006. It's so awesome to have them on board for reimagining one of our biggest songs." All Time Low added: "[We] had the pleasure of getting to know these guys when we worked together on a couple tracks for the McBusted album. Getting the call to come in and help recreate an iconic Busted song was a no-brainer. Loved being a part of this one!"
