Non-traditional/weird love songs

[fredericks]

I'm sitting here struggling through my homework with my PC wired through my stereo and the last two songs that have played strike me as ? non-traditional songs about love. The first song was Kelly Price's take on Shirley Murdock's classic "As We Lay", a song about the morning after an adulterous liasion. Lovely stuff about messing up a marriage. Next was Anita Baker's "Fairy Tales", about a relationship that was anything but. Going through my playlist the only other song I find that sort of fits the criteria is The Toadies "Possum Kingdom", because that's just really screwed up. Oh, and AFI's "Silver and Cold" - vampire love song!

Anyone know any interesting non-traditional love songs they want to share? And no, Weird Al's "You Don't Love Me Anymore" does not count.

Hmm...I think Radiohead's "Exit Music for a Film" might fit. It is about two lovers attempting to run from robots and getting killed, after all.

I'm big on the not-love songs. Fiona Apple has quite a few good ones-- "Not about love," "Sleep to Dream," "Paper Bag" just off the top of my head. Last year for Christmas I made one of my friends a mix cd with a stalker theme to it. I'm sure pretty much every song on that would fit this theme. I should try and find the tracklist for you...

"Sleep to Dream" - I completely forgot about that one. With Fiona's voice and delivery even her traditional love songs sound like non-traditional ones, though. :)

If you can find it, the track listing would be very welcome.
