Soft Cell’s “Tainted Love” seems like a no-brainer. And Joy Division’s “Love Will Tear Us Apart” is probably too depressing to play all the way through, but I think going far enough into it to hear the iconic keyboard lick would bring some smiles. ---

I never worked out a melody to this one, but if someone wants to, feel free to use it. I bring this out when people ask me why I don’t write love songs… **LOVE DEEP DOWN** COPYRIGHT MR 2010 by Sam A. Robrin or whoever the hell it is who writes these things. Go ahead and use it, but if you make a little money on it, I want some! - Every time I hold her hand, I’ll be reminded of That little gold-and-diamond band— The symbol of our love.\* ``` My love for you Goes deep down, too— Way deep down, and all the way through. The path of love may twist and bend, But things come out right in the end.* ``` I wanted to ask her to marry me, And planned out a little surprise. It always warms up my heart to see That look of delight in her eyes. It occurred to me that it might be nice To freeze the ring in a cube of ice. ``` I asked her to come to my house that night. Cooked a dinner to please a king. Served cocktails for two by candlelight, And gave her the one with the ring. "For a special lady: a special drink." And she did—exactly what you think. My love for you Goes deep down, too— Way deep down, and all the way through. The path of love may twist and bend, But things come out right in the end. ``` “I like to eat ice cubes,” she said with a pout, And the perfect date went ka-boom. I hadn’t planned upon going out— Not to the emergency room! Nurses, X-rays, exams, technicians— Love thrives under the worst conditions. ``` The doc called us in and had this to say: "It's not sharp, like a thumbtack or glass. With a couple of pills, you should be okay. Don't worry—this, too, shall pass." And though I expected to take the blame, That sweet girl married me just the same. My love for you Goes deep down, too— Way deep down, and all the way through. The path of love may twist and bend But things come out right in the end. You don't need to know exactly how, But we managed to retrieve it. That ring is on her finger now, Never again to leave it. Every time I hold her hand, I'll be reminded of That little gold-and-diamond band— The symbol of our love. My love for you Goes deep down, too— Way deep down, and all the way through. The path of love may twist and bend, But things come out right in the end. ``` ---
