Re [Quiz]Love Songs That Aren't

Good quiz, Pippa.

I keep hearing the Pina Colada song lately and thinking what a really awful "love" song it is. Nothing like trying to cheat on your SO and finding out that the person you're cheating with is actually your SO cheating on you.

Or something like that.

Re [Quiz]Love Songs That Aren't

LOL. Margo inspired it. I'll do a second part at some point, because I KNOW there are way more like that.

MJ, the key to that question is the plural.

Re [Quiz]Love Songs That Aren't

I got it right, but could see where others might argue for the other choice

Re [Quiz]Love Songs That Aren't

Good quiz. You've heard my story about the Meat Loaf rant where he goes off on people who tell him they got married to "2 out of 3 Ain't Bad", and he sings to them, "I want you, I need you, but there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you?"

"You got married to that?"

And no, that fourth track is not as good as anything on Pet Sounds or Blonde on Blonde or What's Going On, but when was the last time you played Pet Sounds? - Songbook by Nick Hornby

Re [Quiz]Love Songs That Aren't

The Police stuff was inspired. What else goes on the list:

Landslide - Fleetwood Mac
Superman - Five For Fighting
Complicated - Avril (does anyone think that's a love song?)
Here's To The Night - Eve 6


One song that never gets credit because it sounds creepy:
Wherever You Will Go - The Calling


This is fun! Back with the '90s version in a minute

Re [Quiz]Love Songs That Aren't

What got me started was I was making a CD of love songs for my husband. Tonight I gave it to him and he wanted to know if I'd put that Pina Colada song on it! No lie. He thinks that song is really romantic. :rollseyes: I did not, however, put that song on the CD.

Re [Quiz]Love Songs That Aren't

I like the Pina Colada song because the lyrics crack me up. My friends and I used to sing that when we went to bars.

The one I always hated was Love Fool by the Caridgans

Quote:
Love me, love me
Say that you love me
Fool me, fool me
Go on and fool me
Love me, love me
Pretend that you love me

Re [Quiz]Love Songs That Aren't

Wormie, your prom theme was better than mine! It was Bon Jovi and a lyrical selection from the song was...

Quote:
Remember when we used to park
On Butler Street out in the dark
Remember when we lost the keys
And you lost more than that in my backseat
Nice for an all-girl high school, no?

Re [Quiz]Love Songs That Aren't

Lovely.

Oh another great "love" song.

But what can I do?
I'm lonely, too,
and it makes me feel so good to know
she'll never leave me.
