I can definitely agree with you on Benny Mardones Into The Night and I do remember an interview where Sting even said that Every Breath You Take was twisted. However, I have to heartily disagree with you about Butterfly Kisses by Bob Carlisle. Get your mind out of the gutter already.

Surely nothing tops Falco's 1986 pan-European number one smash "Jeanny", sung from an abductor's point of view. "Sie werden dich nicht finden / Niemand wird dich finden, du bist bei mir!"

Many, many years ago I had a girl ask me to put "that song you were singing along to at the party" onto a mix CD to her.

She said she liked the way I sang it, that it was sweet.

That song was Orestes by A Perfect Circle.

Yup, matricide. That one didn't last a week.

I've heard people using "100%" by Sonic Youth and "Call And Answer" by Barenaked Ladies for mixtapes and/or wedding first dances.

It just makes me want to cry, those poor misguided people.

@JZ13: It was 1994. I was 19. I didn't pay attention to things like lyrics or eye color.

I have never seen a first dance of "Butterfly Kisses", but I have seen a father/daughter dance to that. That's a weird bride/groom dance.

@Lucas Jensen: Was she married? Because isn't that song about marital infidelity?

Has anyone else been to a wedding at which the bride and groom's first dance was to "Butterfly Kisses," or do I live in some super creepy alternate universe?

@Maura Johnston: Thanks for the video btw! Amazing. We missed ALL of that in the Midwest--other than "Into the Night," of course.

“…And when I say BENNY…”

Wow–that was the best “Behind the Music” in under 6 minutes ever.

@Maura Johnston: I have got to see that. It's the kind of thing that shows up in Netflix's Play It Now section.

@Lucas Jensen: Bless you for reminding me of the twisted genius that is "Into the Night." I'm spinning a Valentine's Day party on Saturday night and that song is sooooo in the rotation now.

REM’s “The One I Love” also not good.

@Clare: Oh, I would never front on that song. I love it. Just saying it's creepy.
