Songs that AREN'T about love

Post Reply New Topic

British:

Tubthumping - Chumbawamba
Another Brick in the Wall - Pink Floyd

Canadian:

Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft - Klaatu

plus a lot of Klaatu's opus wasn't about love or sex particularly

American:

Allentown - Billy Joel
Born in the USA - Bruce Springsteen

in fact both American artists identified above have produced a number of hits that I wouldn't characterize as being "about love".

EDIT:

Had to add some Australians

Down Under - Men at Work
Stayin' Alive - Bee Gees (British born but raised in Australia)

This couldn't wait much longer

Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is? - Chicago

Dancing In the Streets-Martha and The Vandellas (not about love, or dancing, but about rioting in the streets)
The End-The Doors

"I can ride my bike with no handlebars. No handlebars. No handlebars. I can ride my bike with no handlebars. No handlebars. No handlebars."

Girls Just Want to Have Fun - Cyndi Lauper

Penny Lane (by The Beatles)?

There's several songs by Queen that aren't love songs. Bohemian Rhapsody being one of them

People are Strange (The Doors)

We’re Not Gonna Take It - Twisted Sister

Apache - The Incredible Bongo Band

Zager and Evans - In The Years 2525

Spinnng Wheel - Blood, Sweat & Tears

I know a few songs by Weird Al that are hate songs because he mainly sings about how he can't stand the woman he's been with.

Like "One More Minute", which is a slow 50's style doo-wop style song where his girlfriend has left him for another man but he says he'd rather do things like have a hundred thousand paper cuts, spend eternity eating broken glass, or stick his nostrils together with Krazy Glue, than be wither her anyway.

And "So Sick of You", where the, umm, lady, bites her toenails, has inhuman body odor, snores even when she's awake and uses his razors to shave her back hair.

Paint it Black-The Rolling Stones
Eve of Destruction-Barry McGuire

Fortunate Son - Creedence Clearwater Revival
