Bombs Away

I’m guessing this is going to be a pretty hard one. Not exactly much songs with “Love” in the name that aren’t Lovesongs.

Love shack might indeed be as good as it gets. I’ll check my list later on but no promises

I suppose that’s more of a song for his retirement party.

how do these guys look so good after all these years? That crazy red-sleeved shirt thing…that, my friends, is argyle (back with a vengeance if you hadn’t noticed) taken to the most extreme and terrifying limits of its logic. Fantastic! And how about Fred’s hat? Even the drugged-up Miami Vice guy looks kind of good.

In fact I think they all look too good for Love – no offence to him, but for me he dropped some serious style points this summer when, as opposed to Mayo and all the others who are voting Obama, he said he was undecided but would vote for whoever lowered his taxes most. Hey don’t get me wrong, it’s not a left/right thing – all I’m saying is, don’t be a wanker about it!

Frankly I think Air Supply would be a fine choice! Again, I’m not trying to insult Love – on the contrary, I think Air Supply is vastly underrated. Has anyone seen the awesome recent commercial with the 2 vocalists? They’re pitching one of these Time-Life compilations, I think the one they’re doing is rock ballads or some such. Or maybe just love songs, I think the power ballads might be the Kevin guy from REO Speedwagon (“Keep on loving you” anyone?). There have been a whole slew of these lately, Peter Fonda is pitching some Time-Life seventies compilation, in his “easyrider” leather jacket. (I saw this one while watching “Swingtown” this past summer – guilty pleasure – and then started seeing all the other ones.) Anyways not only do I vote for Air Supply, but I think the Wolves should adopt an Air Supply-only policy and play only their music. Maybe they could bring in those 2 guys to sing the anthem every night! They still look good, much younger than their years, and they have those raunchy Aussie accents to boot. (Well OK the blond dude looks better than the short guy, check out their wikipedia entry for the worst moustache ever.) Anyways just my 2 cents. Rock on.

I’m only 24 and even I know they rocked hard. Their “10 from 6” album is one of the greats.

Whattup.

Love Will Come Through - Travis
Love Like a Bomb - Oasis
Love is Stronger than Death - The The
The Look of Love - ABC
Our Love - Rhett Miller

Also like The Beatles - All You Need is Love, as someone suggested above.

Best regards.

While I’m not surprised that “Love Shack” was selected since that was the first tune I thought of, I still want to put in a plug for “Love Train” by the O’Jays.

Catchy, upbeat and far superior to “Love Shack” – plus it fits the whole old-school meme that the Wolves have been striving to create for Love as well.

That’s a great choice. You’re absolutely right that Sweetwater Jones should be all over FSN right now dancing to that song.

Plus it would be good during timeouts in the fourth quarter after KL has thrown a 60-foot outlet pass to Brewer for a dunk and a three-point play. . . Or he’s dished from the high post to AJ for the bunny. . . Or he’s kicked it out to Miller for the dagger. . .

I’m getting excited for the “Love Train”!

…no one has gone with Barry White’s Can’t Get Enough of Your Love, Baby.

…this list is getting pretty long. Therefore, and as much as I love Pat Benatar (even though she comes on like a flame and then turns a cold shoulder), I propose the following. In my humble opinion the most inspired and inspiring suggestion of the day was Wolfen’s “Feel like makin’ love” by Bad Company. I therefore suggest that rather than songs that mention “love,” we limit our selection to songs that mention “makin’ love”! I’ll get the ball rolling with a game of Name That Lyric:

“If you like makin’ love at midnight
In the dunes on the cape
You’re the lady I’ve looked for
Write to me and…”

Wyn you’ll like this: I’ve only ever been to Macalester once. As I was leaving, I passed a hall of some sort where there was a party going on, and there was a band in there playing a cover of the song that the above-mentioned lyrics come from! So I guess Mac isn’t all bad. “I’ve got to meet you by tomorrow noon/And cut through all this red tape/At a bar called O’Malley’s/Where we’ll plan our…”

Solomon Burke, Everybody Needs Somebody to Love. Hell, use the Wilson Pickett version.

…Higher Love.

There’s a great song on the old Stax label called Love is Taking Over. It’s a little obscure but it has a catchy chorus that the whole crowd could sing. When It’s Love by Van Halen. Who Do You Love is another good one. What’s Love Got to do with it.

by Teddy Pendergrass.

LOVE STINKS… By J Geils…. Also loving the Dr. Love take. I think it should be a 3 song rotation. Feel like makin’ Love, Dr. Love, and a big LOVE STINKS when he misses a free throw or makes a turnover…

You love her
But she loves him
And he loves somebody else
You just can’t win
And so it goes
Till the day you die
This thing they call love
It’s gonna make you cry
I’ve had the blues
The reds and the pinks
One thing for sure

(Love stinks)
Love stinks yeah yeah
(Love stinks)
Love stinks yeah yeah
(Love stinks)
Love stinks yeah yeah
(Love stinks)
Love stinks yeah yeah

…I’m going to widdle this down to an 8-song choice. I’ll have the poll up shortly.
