40 Most Awesomely Bad Love Songs

Do you think if you asked your Mom now about "Torn Between Two Lovers" today she would answer you ?

ROFL!!

'Can you explain their mascot, the robot? "

As a George Lynch fan (guitarist for Dokken), I'm at a loss. I've never associated robots with them.

Peaches & Herb....a disco classic. and VERY much still requested.

The Tubes
Talk To Ya Later

Tubes/Foster/Steve Lukather (That's right, the same Steve Lukather from TOTO. He plays a nasty guitar solo as the Tube's session musician)

I met her on a strip
It was another lost weekend
The band was too slick
And the people were twisted

So I asked her for a date
She reluctantly agreed
Then we went to my place
And she never did leave

She won’t even miss me when she’s gone
And that’s okay with me I’ll cry later on

It’s been six months
She hasn’t shut up once
I’ve tried to explain
She’s driving me insane

She won’t even miss me when she’s gone
And that’s okay with me I’ll cry later on
Chorus:
Talk to ya later—don’t want to hear it again tonight
Talk to ya later—just save it for another guy
Talk to ya later—don’t want to hear it again tonight
I’ll just see you around

Get out
I’m telling you now
Do you catch my drift
What could be plainer than this

Nothin’ more to be said
Write me a letter instead
I don’t mean to be cruel
But I’m finished with you

She won’t even miss me when she’s gone
That’s okay with me I’ll cry later on

Chorus
Talk to ya later—don’t want to hear it again tonight
Talk to ya later—just save it for another guy
Talk to ya later—don’t want to hear it again tonight
I’ll just see you around

After perusing all of the responses....it would seem the
winner is....

1) Muskrat Love.

My own particular dislikes are(not in any order...they all
get me sick:

Afternoon delight
Torn between two Lovers
Seasons in the Sun
Sylvias Mother (gotta be right up there with Muskrat Love)
Ben
Lola (talk about "creepy"

I remember some old interview with Morrison where he said the original title of the song was Brown SKINNED Girl but it was changed to meet 1967 American racial sensitivities.

"She's A Beauty" was good, though. :)

"Baby I'm A Want You" tops my list of nauseating love songs.

who was that man

I'd like to shake his hand

he made my baby fall in love with me

(deep bass) YEAHHHHHHHHH!

OMG... THAT WAS HORRID!!

That's worse than Muskrat Love... Plus, it makes me think of Helen Reddy (I am Woman, hear me nag)

Yes, but not without laughing. She's very cool, but I was only about 7 when I asked!

That is a fabulous song! It better not make the list. :)

I. Paradise

Boy:
I remember every little thing
As if it happened only yesterday
Parking by the lake
And there was not another car in sight
And I never had a girl
Looking any better than you did
And all the kids at school
They were wishing they were me that night

And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
C'mon! Hold on tight!
C'mon! Hold on tight!

Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light

Girl:
Ain't no doubt about it
We were doubly blessed
Cause we were barely seventeen
And we were barely dressed

Ain't no doubt about it
Baby got to go and shout it
Ain't no doubt about it
We were doubly blessed

Boy:
Cause we were barely seventeen
And we were barely dressed

Baby doncha hear my heart
You got it drowning out the radio
I've been waiting so long
For you to come along and have some fun

And I gotta let ya know
No you're never gonna regret it
So open up your eyes I got a big surprise
It'll feel all right
Well I wanna make your motor run

And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
C'mon! Hold on tight!
C'mon! Hold on tight!

Though it's cold and lonley in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light
Paradise by the dashboard light

You got to do what you can
And let Mother Nature do the rest
Ain't no doubt about it
We were doubly blessed
Cause we were barely seventeen
And we were barely--

We're gonna go all the way tonight
We're gonna go allt he way
An tonight's the night...

Radio Broadcast:
Ok, here we go, we got a real pressure cooker
going here, two down, nobody on, no score,
bottom of the ninth, there's the wind-up and
there it is, a line shot up the middle, look
at him go. This boy can really fly!
He's rounding first and really turning it on
now, he's not letting up at all, he's gonna
try for second; the ball is bobbled out in center,
and here comes the throw, and what a throw!
He's gonna slide in head first, here he comes, he's out!
No, wait, safe--safe at second base, this kid really
makes things happen out there.
Batter steps up to the plate, here's the pitch--
he's going, and what a jump he's got, he's trying
for third, here's the throw, it's in the dirt--
safe at third! Holy cow, stolen base!
He's taking a pretty big lead out there, almost
daring him to try and pick him off. The pitcher
glance over, winds up, and it's bunted, bunted
down the third base line, the suicide squeeze in on!
Here he comes, squeeze play, it's gonna be close,
here's the throw, there's the play at the plate,
holy cow, I think he's gonna make it!

II. Let Me Sleep On It

Girl:
Stop right there!

III. Praying for the End of Time

Boy:
I couldn't take it any longer
Lord I was crazed
And when the feeling came upon me
Like a tidal wave
I started swearing to my god and on my mother's grave
That I would love you to the end of time
I swore that I would love you to the end of time!

So now I'm praying for the end of time
To hurry up and arrive
Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you
I don't think that I can really survive
I'll never break my promise or forget my vow
But God only knows what I can do right now
I'm praying for the end of time
It's all that I can do
Praying for the end of time, so I can end my time with you!!!

Boy:
It was long ago and it was far away
and it was so much better than it is today

Girl:
It never felt so good
It never felt so right
And we were glowing like
A metal on the edge of a knife

Cathy's Clown is a classic!Loved it in Seventh Grade and love it now.

That was Minnie Riperton!

I am a huge music fan, 50's and on, but there is not much out there today. I believe some love songs are truly horrible, however, at the time some were released they sounded ok, but after being played over and over and over, you really grew tired of them. I used to enjoy Billy Joel,James Taylor, but today, their songs are "tired". we all have different tastes in music, I have to admit that I kind of enjoy, "Afternoon Delight".

OH a whole nother group that did sappy songs - BREAD

Are you referring to "Who But the Bomp (In the Bomp,Bomp,Bomp?" written by that fine songwriting pair Gerry Goffin and Barry Mann(from famed Brill Building team)

Barry Mann went on to write "We Gotta Get Out of This Place" by the Animals. Quite a change of pace, wouldn't you say ?

From the Captain and Tennille website, here is the explanation for how their version of "Muskrat Love" came about:

The third single released from Song of Joy was an unlikely number called "Muskrat Love." Loved and loathed, the revamped version of country composer/singer Willis Alan Ramsey’s "Muskrat Candlelight" was another million seller for the duo. "We were driving around one night when we heard (the group) America’s version of the song on the radio," remarks Toni. "I said to Daryl ‘did you hear that? I swear they’re singing about muskrats.’ I had to know what the lyrics were, so the next day we went out and found the sheet music" Toni reminisces. "I said to Daryl, this song is hysterical, why don’t we add it to our club-act? And people went nuts for it." Daryl continues "We just threw it on the second album because we had room for one more tune. We knew it was a hit in the clubs, but we had no idea it would be a hit record." The label had no intention of releasing a third single from the album, but after a radio station in Madison, Wisconsin called the A&R people at A&M begging them for a copy, telling them the phones were ringing off the hooks for it, a 45 was issued and became their third biggest hit.
