Let’s face it, some people just love cheese. Some of the most famous love songs of all time are just plain cheesy. Or even if the song isn’t cheesy, the lyrics are ridiculous. So, as a bonus edition in our series on love, I decided to do something totally for the fun of it. In our main series, we’re covering the top 7 all time love lies. But for today, let’s take on ….
THE TOP SEVEN MOST RIDICULOUS LOVE SONGS OF ALL TIME
I’ll start off with a few of my nominations, then it’s up to you. Send in your comments with your choices. Either choose some of mine, or pick your own.
Mmmmm.... cheese.
You’ll probably notice that most of my songs are from the eighties. That is partly because the eighties were full of amazingly cheesy love songs, but mostly because that’s when I grew up. What that really means is that I need your help! Send in your suggestions from any decade. I’ll put them together and come up with the top ten all time. For now, here are my nominations…. (Drum roll, please)…
Nominee #1 Love is a Battlefield by Pat Benetar
The intro is classic, “We are young. Heartache to heartache, we stand. No promises. No demands. Love is a battlefield.” WHAT?!?!? I honestly don’t have a clue what this song is about. But I still love it. I like to write the lyrics on wedding cards for young couples, just to sound profound. Come to think of it, I think I’ll call up Magic 104 and dedicate this song to my lovely Andrea right now… We are strong! No one can tell us we’re wroooong. Searching our hearts for so looo-ooooo-oooo-oooong. Love is a battlefield.
Nominee #2 The Greatest Love of All by Whitney Houston
When I graduated from elementary school in 1986, every sixth grade kid in the country was learning to sing this song for their promotion ceremony. “I believe the children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way.” Sounds nice enough, doesn’t it? But wait until you get to the magnificent conclusion (more…)
