Love Songs Needed

[LizardKing3]

I am attempting to make a "sappy hardcore" mix CD for someone.

I could use some ideas for songs; I want punkish or hardcore love songs. If you have funny love songs post the name and title as well, can't hurt.

Going away to collage - Blink 182

 

[Figjam]

miscellaneous?

 

[ArtisFallen]

oof... umm letsee...

almost anything by the Killers will do you fine...
literally anything by the Ataris fits the bill
one word: "Elvis"

Bionic - The Buzz poets
Speed of Love - Rush
Fell in Love with a Girl - White stripes (sorry )
Give a little Bit - Supertramp

Funny love songs:

S E X X Y - They Might be Giants
Since You've been Gone - Wierd Al

Box Car Racer has alot of "love songs" I guess they'd be called, and Blinks new album, some of the songs fit the bill. Fall Out Boy - Sugar Were Going down counts in my book. Way Away by Yellow Card.

Thats about everything I can think of, If I think of more I'll come back though.

Only a woman - Team America soundtrack

[Davidoc]

Think About You - Guns n Roses

 

[Tash]

Think About You - Guns n Roses

I actually made a "love songs" mix for a girlfriend that included this song, My Michelle and Used to Love Her. What can I say, I date girls with twisted senses of humor.

Electric Baby - Mest
One Slowdance - Rufio
I Knew - Slick Shoes
Angel - Slick Shoes
Mushy Love Song - Tsunami Bomb



hey page, a band called Death Cab for Cutie did a cover of "Coney Island" and did a very good job

Monosyllabic Girl: NOFX

Lisa and Louise (I'll never forget the first time you kissed me, now I want you to fist me): NOFX

Barbed Wire Love: Stiff Little Fingers

Too Drunk to **** is a love song too I guess...

 

[Alvaro Martín Gómez A.]

Do instrumentals count? One of these that I've always thought is very romantic-sounding is Frank Zappa's "Watermelon In Easter Hay". It's just a long guitar solo over a repeating chord progression, but the mood is adequate for a romantic music CD, IMO. And I know that "Watermelon In Easter Hay" isn't a romantic title, but coming from Zappa... fortunately he didn't come up with this title (another "sensitive instrumental ballad for late-nite easy listening" from him, according to the CD's liner notes) for this cool tune.

How about "Ride My Face to Chicago?"

 

[jrthebassguy]

Funeral For A Friend - Red Is The New Black
Amber Pacifc - Always You
From Autumn To Ashes - Cherry Kiss
The Movie Life - This Time Next Year
Still Life - Sometimes
Rise Against - Everchanging

Well, there is that one Spinal Tap song that Nigel was working out on piano in the saddest of all keys...

Ah yes , Lick My Lovepump, always a tearjerker.

Misc it is...

 

[Justin V]

For the sappiest of the sappy (though they've worked for me before):

Get Up Kids - I'll Catch You
Rocket Summer - That's So You (sappiest song EVER, but I like it dammit!!!), Goodbye Waves and Driveways

For not-so-sappy yet always good:

Eric Clapton - Wonderful Tonight
Tsunami Bomb - The Simple Truth
Dropkick Murphys - Forever
Emery - Ponytail Parades (if she tries to dump you, I guess), The Note From Which This Chord is Built

I also second on the Ataris one too. They've got some pretty nifty love songs too.
