Tom Reynolds - Touch Me, I'm Sick: The 52 Creepiest Love Songs You've Ever Heard

Pages: 272, Paperback, Chicago Review Press

Examining romance that has gone off the rails, this compendium analyzes the 52 most tawdry, obsessive, self-absorbed, and completely weird love songs ever written. Organizing the list into 10 different categories--with chapters such as Death Becomes Us and I m Not Bitter, I Just Wish You d Die, You Miserable Pig (Tramp)--the book features restraining order-inducing stalker ditties, narcissistic anthems, bitter break-up tunes, and a few of the 1,500 songs entitled Butterfly. From pop kings and princesses (Michael Jackson and Christina Aguilera) to rock stars and rappers (Motley Crue and Eminem), alt-rockers (Radiohead and Weezer) to women who rock (Alanis Morissette and Melissa Etheridge) and bands whose popularity has endured for years (the Beatles and the Police), this collection reveals that every musical genre is just a little bit creepy.
