So, dopers who are or were in relationships: what is or was “your” song? “Whenever, Wherever” by Shakira. ---

When Mrs. Furd and I met, we couldn’t seem to escape this one song. It seemed like it was playing in the background every where we went. Our song? Yeah, well it sort of got done to us. I mean, who would choose “Nimm mich jetzt auch wenn ich stinke” as sung by a guy to a woman? Translation: “Take me now even though I stink.” ---

For my ex and me it was U2’s _The Sweetest Thing_. The line, _A blue eyed boy meets a brown eyed girl_ was especially poignant. Of course, after the whole breakup, arrest, jail, restraining order, probation thing, the song has lost a bit of its appeal for me. ---

relationship #1 '76-'77 “More Than a Feeling” relationship #2 '79-'81 “I’ll Never Love This Way Again” relationship #3 '81-'83 “Your Kiss On My List” relationship #4 '84-'85 “I Just Called to Say I Loved You” relationship #5 '87-'95 that song by Cher and Peter Cetera, We keep coming back to these two hearts… etc. relationship #6 '01-'02 “How Glad I Am” by Nancy Wilson. The song is about 40 years old, but we saw her in February, and after that it sort of became the song. Plus I’m way old now, so it doesn’t have to match the time anymore. And my personal relationship song after all these years and relationships is “The Boss” by Diana Ross. As in love taught me, taught me, who was, who was, the boss! ---

The song for my ex-wife and me was “Too Marvelous For Words”. I don’t know who wrote it, but the version I have was sung by Ella Fitzgerald. Our first wedding dance song was “Crazy”, sung by Patsy Cline. 🙂 ---

According to Scott, my song is that rap song where the chorus is “It’s getting hot in here- so take off all your clothes!” I think it’s by Nelly Not really a relationship, more like a booty call… ---

Dire Straits - _Brothers in Arms_ was the song playing when I arrived at her house intending to propose. My heart was doing overtime, so I sat and let the song end, trying to calm down, before I went in. Nina Simone - _Feelin’ Good_ was the song we chose to walk down the aisle to at the end of our wedding, an excellent summation of how we felt at the time (and still do)… Grim [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/your-song/127638.md?page=2)
