What we have here is a failure to be romantic ( horrible song lyrics)

I totally agree!

I’ve been hearing that song my whole life, and until I read your link I had no idea what the lyrics were. shudder

Macarthur Park deserves mention in any list of horrible songs as well.

“Drops of Jupiter” is my usual entry:

It managed to be meaningless AND pretentious, an amazing combination.

The song also works in a reference to tae-bo, so it’s also going to be horribly dated very soon.

Oh god, thanks for mentioning this.

She walks like summer and she talks like June

What?

I’ve also always hated the song ‘‘Meet Virginia’’

She never compromises
Loves babies and surprises
Wears high heels when she exercises

Yeah, okay, whatever. :rolleyes:

I always thought …

You are a magnet. I am steel.

… was about as romantic as a deck plate in a junk yard.

“I am,” I said
To no one there
An no one heard at all
Not even the chair

From some Black-Eyed Peas song:

I’ll play Bobby, you play Whitney.

Um…really? Not the couple reference I’d go for when expressing my undying love.
