I heard John Mellencamp’s song Lonely Ol’ Night on the radio, and there’s a line where he sings:
Who was he referring to? I can’t think of any song that mentions standing in the shadows of love, but, then again, I don’t know every song out there.
It’s a reference to “Standing in the Shadows of Love” by the Four Tops.
Now don’t you feel foolish?
No more than usual.
FWIW, the song was inspired by a dialogue exchange in, IIRC, HUD.
