Every time I see this thread I think of a song that’s actually pretty much the exact polar opposite of what the OP asked for. The entire song is saying “Break up with your hippie boyfriend and date me instead.” But I’m posting it anyway. 😏 [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/gbaq_qxjmPw/hqdefault.jpg "The Modern Lovers - I'm Straight") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbaq_qxjmPw) ---

I don’t have a song at the moment, but I did marry one. Happy for 40 years. I still miss her. ☹ ---

This one has nothing to do with marriage, but does concern a hippie gal. Probably NSFW. [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/EpfNzfUWBmU/hqdefault.jpg "Fugs - The Belle of Avenue A") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpfNzfUWBmU) ---
