I was going to use Dionne Warwick's version, but this someone has more edge to it.



The White Stripes - I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself



Naked Eyes - (There's) Always Something There to Remind Me



What do all these songs have in common?

Il Duce! Yeayyyyy! (Crowd goes wild.)

Virgin, I read the lyrics at ANTI-NOWHERE LEAGUE - SO WHAT LYRICS and I agree with Duce that this song is definitely anti-love...

unless one counts raping goats and sheep as love! :laughing:

I was thinking of doing a thread just like this. Some of my favorite love songs are not about being in love, but about love gone wrong or like you say "anti-love" and I such a hard time thinking of a positive love song for "favourite love song" thread.

During the 60's I can't think of a group who wrote better negative love songs than the Rolling Stones, while The Beatles songs were about holding hands and the feeling of walking on cloud 9, the Stones had a darker side, they were more cynical and realistic. "Backstreet Girl" is one of my favorite if not my favorite Rolling Stones song, I think the music is amazing, it has such a folksy (European) sound, and the lyrics are a complete downer. I would love to go into detail what I think the song is about, (like does he love her or is he being mean to her) but I don't know if I should go into detail, because really it could mean something different to someone else. When people listen to a song, everyone has their own interpretation of the song.
