Leading on from marinelife’s question, as soon as I saw it I suddenly got Meatloaf’s “Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad” stuck in my head and it hasn’t gone away. Maybe I’m just bitter about Valentine’s day and my brain decided to pick the least romantic song I could think of. Can you think of any more songs that are purported as love songs but just don’t cut it? Please share!

Pretty much any rap/hip-hop song where the singer laments cheating over and over again but does it anyway, or wishes to skeet upon his lover’s face because his shawty be so fine wit dat ass, or he wants her to “kiss [him] thoo da phoan.”
Dear lord, I can’t stop laughing…
How about Every Breath You Take by the Police? I know it has been out forever, but a friend and I went to a wedding and the couple danced to it! I thought that doesn’t happen anymore, but they did!
Since I’m finally done laughing, I was going to say Rick Astley’s ‘Never Gonna Give You Up”.
@Blackberry, believe me- it was harder than hell to not laugh! :o) They were an older couple (not that that excuses them or anything!) I just hope that they weren’t serious, that they were kidding. (I haven’t asked them yet.)
@GracieT Still, that’s better than Roxanne.
Any stomach churning, vomit inducing crap dished out from the soppy gob of Celine…...oh you know who.
@GracieT I automatically assume anyone who even moves at all to that song is joking…. :)
Please excuse me if it isn’t PC to say this now, but how about that pathetic song by Whitney Huston? I think it was called “I Will Always Love You.”
“You’ll Never Find Another Love Like Mine”
aka the Narcissists’ anthem.
‘I will always love you’ by Dolly Parton. It was originally a break up song, now it is one of the most popular on Valentines day. Go figure.
I immediately thought of that old song, I think it was by Paul Anka, You“re Havin’ My Baby. I have always hated that song. It not the sentiment that’s so bad. It’s just so horribly sappy!! In fact I think the word sappy must have been invented to describe this song! Therems another really old song called Honey that’s almost as bad but I don’t remember the artist.
“I Will Always Love You” was a song Dolly Parton wrote when her song writing partner retired.
I have to put another vote in for “Every Breathe You Take”. It’s a stalker song.
Charlene by Stephen and the Colberts (I couldn’t find Colbert’s original video – bummer.)
All Over You – The Spill Canvas
That Meatloaf song – you know, that one!
@fundevogel major brownie points/lurve for Skullcrusher Mountain.
I can’t believe I am even posting this. I do have a barf bag handy for all who need one.
Muskrat Love
The only thing this thread is doing for me is making a list of other candidates to replace the earworm Blackberry gave me by putting The Rains of Africa in my original thread.
But, @blueiiznh, Muskrat Love???? May Muskrat Suzie and Muskrat Sam haunt you for days!
@blueiiznh, make it go away! Pretty please? I had completely forgotten about the Captain and Tenille! And now they will haunt my brain all day! Make it go away!
@marinelife @GracieT don’t shoot the messenger. I did not ask the question. I however am repulsed at my answer. I never would have considered it to be a more haunting song than You light up myLife
The 70’s musically were summed up in this Dickens Quote:
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way – in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.
@blueiiznh, I was born in 1970. Luckily I avoided most of the 70’s music!
@GracieT don’t get me wrong, there was amazing music made in the 70’s
I don’t know what happened, it lost my ;0)!
