Oh, and "Every Breath You Take"? NOT a love song. Not not not.

And yet. I'm sure it has been a wedding song a time or two hundred.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

That Firehouse song - what's the name... "I'm the one who wants to be with you/Deep inside you know you feel it too...."

That's Mr. Big, not Firehouse.

Also Warrant's "Heaven". Both of those should be on there. They are most awesomely bad.

Oh, my god, Warrant. Flashback.

Someone needs to report if they do "Fly to the Angels."

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

ita, but his voice. Yikes--just too reedy for the huge background or something.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

You buy a two family house.

What DX said. There are all sorts of different tax breaks and laws in this state for owning and renting while living on the property vs. owning and renting while living somewhere else. Also, I am hip deep in a sea of multifamily houses. (Actually, they're the hottest properties in this area, because of the profits from renting to a captive population: college students.)

Have nothing to say about bad love songs. Except, does "Silly Love Songs" get on the list? Wings was after 1970, right?

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

They're harassing Roberta Flack? Boo.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

That's Mr. Big, not Firehouse.

Whoops, right. Firehouse had "Love Of A Lifetime". Oh, god. Earworm.

Oh, my god, Warrant. Flashback.

First rock concert I ever saw - 1990, Warrant on their "Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinkin' Rich" tour. Huge flashback.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

I'm pretty sure I saw that concert too.

Color Me Badd, "I Adore Mi Amor." Dude, your title rhymes.
