Er, I tried to post this before, but it disappeared. If I can find the duplicate thread, I'll delete whichever one doesn't have a response.

What are the first ten songs that come to your mind when thinking of love songs?

Dang! I'm having lots of trouble posting and just lost my list. I'll try again after work.

Hmm

"Chains of Love" Erasure
"Live Again" Better Than Ezra
"All I Need" Jack Wagner
"Head Over Heels" Tears For Fears
"Laughter In The Rain" Neil Sedaka
"Fortress Around Your Heart" Sting
"I Know You're Out There Somewhere" Moody Blues
"Hole Hearted" Erasure
"More Than A Woman" Bee Gees
"Jealous Guy" John Lennon

I think 1 or 2 of those aren't even on my Top 100 Love Songs list.. heh, goes to show you what happens when you're thinkin' off the top of your head about something that you normally spend at least 15-20 minutes thinking about on the average day anyway.

As Nicolas Cage might say after finding out that the reason the fat guy jumped him in the jail was that he had had a sex sandwich with the guy's wife and sister the night he was sent to jail, "Wow."

2) Love Song - The Cure (recently, and pointlessly, remade by somebody)

3) Theme from Love Story - Francis Lai (composer)

8) Michelle - The Beatles

9) Keep On Loving You - REO Speedwagon

And that's the name of that tune,
David
