Re: (spoiler) If That Isn't Love
The song "I'm All Out of Love" just popped into my head when I read that post, Bacon. I so hope this is a style parody of those cheesy 80s love songs!

Re: (spoiler) If That Isn't Love
Have you listened to the song? "She made a DATE for a half-pat eight and I said, 'what the hey.'" It's date. Why are we even arguing about this...joseyklein wrote:that technically isn't a date either. sitting on the couch is called "hanging out" a date is when you go somewhere

I want a funny twisted love song again too, in the vein of one more minute and I'm so sick of you.

OMM wasn't really that twisted. I'd even go out on a limb and call it one of Al's tamest songs ever.

I didn't catch that, as I'm sure a lot of listeners didn't.

I didn't mean that sarcastically. I didn't catch it either for the longest time.

Re: (spoiler) If That Isn't Love
From what I heard (and I forget the source) long ago, wasn't that song written because someone broke up with him and he didn't feel like writing a funny song? Even when he's sad, he battles it with humor. What a guy! I don't know if anyone can confirm this because it was over 10 years ago when I heard that claim.JCM wrote:OMM wasn't really that twisted.

Re: (spoiler) If That Isn't Love
If I remember reading correctly, that was in the pamphlet for the Permanant Record box set, but it definitely was written after a breakup, I've even heard Bermuda or one of the other band members mention that before.

It is pretty obvious.
