5 completely lame love songs that I love

Love is lame or passion at least. But that's where all the fun is. Being ridiculous. From lame public expressions of love to nicknames that not even your mother could give you. But aparentely, the best "love songs" aren't about love, they're about the end of, the break up. And that's something that can get even more ridiculous, and even more funny if you're not the one involved. This list could get endless but I choose the ones I really listen to despite of all lameness of it, so here it goes... 

5. Always On My Mind - Elvis Presley
I'm being heretic for considering Elvis lame, he's a classic! But I'm analyzing the song's content. The guy didn't give any attention to his girl and she obviously left him, and men are like this, they don't give a shit but once you leave them they start to say things like "You were always on my mind..." This sentence is also very used if the bastard cheated on you. (I'm not talking about my own experience, I was never cheated - as far as I know - and I never left my boyfriend because he didn't care about me, but I have seen cases like that)
The lamest lines: Tell me. Tell me that your sweet love hasn't died.Give me.Give me one more chance to keep you satisfied. ("I know I deserved it but pleaaaaaaaaaaase give it another shot!)

4. Wicked Game - Chris Isaak
4 minutes of song and 3 stophes being sang over and over again. The song is lame with that riff. The video is lame with a chick running through a beach and the lyrics are lame with all that "you're so hot and special and I don't wanna fall in love with you" 
The lamest line: Nobody loves no one. (Totally random!)

3. Iris - Goo Goo Dolls
Mediocre band and even more mediocre ability of writing foolish balads for making money. This one only went to the top thanks to Meg Ryan open arms in a bike being smashed by a truck. Nothing more. Still this is one of the top "relationship music theme" and it's cute.
The lamest line: You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be.

2. Always - Bon Jovi
Hear the keybords, the violins, the guitar. Feel all the passion, the agony, the angst. Hahaha. Jon Bon Jovi is a Diva, in the very Mariah Carrey way. With the wind is the hair, close fists, tight t-shirts and leather pants he is the drama enbodyed the first line starts the whole thing, ("This Romeo is bleeding...") then he blackmails the poor girl ("And I know when I die, youll be on my mind") and declares that he'll "be there till the stars don't shine, till the heavens burst and the words don't rhyme". That's true love, not walking into your girlfriend's bedroom though the window every night. LOL The funny thing is that I could choose any Bon Jovi song, (or any 90's hard rock song) I chose this one because maybe it's the most famous, and I don't know one single person that doesn't start to sing the chorus of it (AND IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII.... WILL LOOOOOOOVEEE YOUUUUUU BABEEEEE) if the song starts somewhere. You can hate this song, but you sing it. 
The lamest line: I can't choose one. The whole song is lame and cheesy. Still I love this song and all the other lame Bon Jovi songs. I guess I'm lame and cheesy. LOL

1. Total Eclipse of the Heart - Bonnie Tyler
Like Bruce Willis said in "Bandits" it's "The ultimate sappy chick song" and it's owner of one of the most ridiculous videos I've ever seen. But  HOW can't you feel the sorrow and the grief and how it grows while she's singing??! "Once upon a time I was falling in love, now I'm only falling apart." See? She can play with the words, it's deep! It's the ultimate sappy chick song, the ultimate song if you're in the dumps, it's the ultimate lame 80's love song!
The lamest line: I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks. (WHAT THE HELL?!)

BONUS - Total Eclipse of The Heart - Literal Version 


Hope you enjoyed! ;)

p.s. I need to buy a valentine's day gift to my boyfriend. (Brazilian Valentine's Day is next Friday) Suggestions?

Top favorite male voices

They could read me anything, the phone book, the bible or even Twilight. I wouldn't mind to keep hearing their voices for hours and hours and hours. They could sing anything, I wouldn't mind to listen. Here's my favorite male voices.

6. Matthew Barlow
He probably has one of the most powerful voices in heavy metal and it makes me shiver. It's amazing. The best Iced Earth vocalist ever!!
Listen: Iced Earth - A Question of Heaven

5. Gabriel Macht
I wouldn't mind keep looking at him and not only listening to him. I first saw him in the awful romantic comedy "Because I said so", where he plays a very charming musician and while I was watching I could only think "What is this voice?" Deep and hoarse, very very sexy.
Watch: The Spirit

4. Morgan Freeman 
I don't know, I just love his voice. It's kind and warm and really nice when saying "Shoot that motherfucker" in Wanted.
Watch: The Bucket List

3.  Gary Oldman
He doesn't have a deep voice, in some interviews it can be almost high pitched (not in an annoying way) but I love what he does to his voice, he can change it in different levels and he's a wonderful singer. He can speak in a way that can really touch us, like in the last scene of The Dark Knight.
Watch: Dead Fish - because he sings on this one, and it's hilarious.

2. Nick Cave
When Nick Cave sings "Happy Birthday to you" he can make it sound like the funeral march.Period.
Listen: Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Far from me 

1. Johnny Cash
His songs are great and he could make covers better than the original versions. His voice is captivating and can make you want to stand up and dance or lay down and cry. He deserves the first place.
Watch: Johnny Cash on the Muppets Show - Ghostriders in the Sky
