80s Love Songs - Romance With Cheese.
|
|
Like any good musical period, the 80s had its fair share of love songs. Some were hopelessly cheesy and others can still make people cry. Almost every successful artist of the 80s had penned at least one love song or ballard. With some bands it was hard to tell if the song was about love, sex or drugs.
So, if you are trying to seduce someone in their 30s or 40s who loves their 80s music, here is a list of love songs to get you started. Beware, some are very very soppy.

Songs that sound like they are about love, but are not
- Why Can't We Live Together, Sade (Racism)
- Dancing With Tears in my Eyes, Ultravox (Nuclear War)
- Golden Brown, The Strangers (Heroin)
- Comfortably Numb, Pink Floyd (This turns up on various love-making song lists, but you have to wonder if anyone is listening to the lyrics.)
- Tainted Love, Soft Cell (To those people who emailed us. No, no, no! This is not a love song. Lyrics 'From the pain that you drive into the heart of me/The love we share /Seems to go nowhere.' Just look at the title of the song. Would you drink tainted milk?)
- She Works Hard For The Money, Donna Summer (Any guy who plays this on a romantic evening will be having a very lonely night)
