Drunken Thoughts on VH1s Most Awesomely Bad Love Songs

I got home from the bar in time to catch the top ten songs on VH1 Most 50 Awesomely Bad Love Songs.

#10 "I'll Make Love to You" - Boys to Men
I remember listening to this song in my college dorm, while I was all by myself. I think one of the "Boy's" name was Alexander Vanderpool, or something like that. I thought that was cool.

#9 "Hold on to the Night" - Richard Marx
Believe it or not (and if you know me, you believe it), I just loaded this song on my iPod a few weeks ago, along with "Endless Summer Nights". Damn, Richard's gotta kickin' mullet!

#8 "I Need A Girl (Part 1 )" - P. Diddy & Usher
What the hell is this? I've never heard this song before. Doesn't VH1 know that black people don't watch VH1?

The "celebrities" VH1 has on this countdown show...I haven't heard of many of them. Ethan Zohn and Jenna Morasca - who the hell are they? Oh, Survivor All-Stars. Still...who the hell are they?

#7 "Love Somebody" - Rick Springfield
Remember when he was known as Rick Cougar Springfield?
I'm not real familiar with this song. It might be before my time.

#6 "Key Largo" - Bertie Higgins
What the F? I've neither heard of this song or this artist. Oh, wait...they're playing it right now. I have heard this song! I have! Maybe once or twice.

[commercial break: time to "relieve myself" and grab another beer. Coming up: Michael Bolton and Color me Bad (did they spell bad with two d's?)

#5 "How Can We Be Lovers" - Michael Bolton
"How can we be lovers if we can't be friends?" That answer doesn't seem so difficult. Actually I did have a Michael Bolton CD - Soul Provider...You may remember the hit "How am I Supposed to Live Without You."

#4 "Tonight I Celebrate My Love" - Peabo Bryson & Roberta Flack
From the video, they kind of look like Dionne Warwick and Lionel Richie.

#3 "I Adore Mi Amor" - Color Me Badd
I knew they spelled bad with two d's! I knew it! I knew it!
Somehow these guys were supposed to be a hot boy band even though half of the group had receding hair lines and kind of looked like Kenny G. Holy shit - one of the VH1 guys just said the same Kenny G. line! I remember this song being pretty big toward the end of my high school years.

#2 "Even the Nights are Better" - Air Supply
Now I'm going to take a little offense to this song being on the list. Not only do I have numerous Air Supply songs on my iPod, I've also seen them live in concert at my local casino. And I've made love out of nothing at all.

#1 Truly - Lionel Richie
You know, I don't have much to say about this song, and "Hotel Erotica 3: Bedroom Fantasies" is just starting on Cinemax.
