Stereotyping You By Your Favorite Love Song
It’s Valentine’s Day tomorrow… so what better time for another bumper edition of our favorite stereotyping feature? This idea started a couple of years back with indie bands, and we’ve since applied it to everything from albums of the year to Monopoly pieces. Now we’re turning our attention to love songs — they’re all here, from the romantic to the saccharine, the bombastic to the touching. As ever, this is a lighthearted exercise that’s done in a spirit of fun, and as ever, our own stereotype is in here too. If we missed yours, feel free to add it to the comments section. Happy Hallmark-making-everyone-miserable day!

Céline Dion — “My Heart Will Go On”
Housewives who own multiple doilies and have purchased porcelain objects from the Franklin Mint.
The Police — “Every Breath You Take”
Clueless Diddy fans who don’t listen to the lyrics properly.
Joy Division — “Love Will Tear Us Apart”
That pallid college friend who you should probably call casually to check on right about now.
Cyndi Lauper — “Time After Time”
Matronly liberal arts academics with pink streaks in their hair.
John Mayer — “Your Body Is a Wonderland”
Bros who use the word “ladies” a lot and wonder why they don’t get laid all that often.

my fav love song ever is:
hands down.
also some of the best ~quirky love lyrics:
excellent choices, btw.
My friends and I sang it (bery poorly) while we were drunk one time and somehow managed to pick up men with it. lol
or
In recent years, my favorite is Chelsea Wolfe - Tracks (Tall Bodies). It's not a straight forward love song, but there is something so alluring about it and the "we could be two straight lines in a crooked world" bit really speaks to me.
These two get me every time.
Ugh Joni, why do you have to do such terrible(/wonderful) things to me??
I'm facing the air climbing invisible stairs I'm alone and shaking like a rope dancer
