I can't believe Too Short's "Stepdaddy" didn't make the cut.

All in all, that list sucks. Any list with a Beachboys song at the top SUCKS.

"Fairy Tale of New York" by the Pogues should have made the cut IMO.

And if they were gonna pick a Johnny Cash song, they should have gone with "If I was a Carpenter". That one even gets a dumb animal like me sentimental.

any Top Love Song list that doesn't include the following is absolute dog****:

"let's get it on"- marvin gaye
"happy together"- the turtles
"computer love"- zapp & roger
"angel"- aerosmith
"sexual healing"- marvin gay
"open arms"- journey
"all my love"- led zepplin

magazines and tv shows make the lists with full knowledge that they're completely full of ****. bull**** creates controversy and controversey creates ratings.

Great avatar. I missed last nights Episode.

Things have happened a very, very rapid pace the past two weeks. Make sure you see the replay; enough stuff has happened the past 2 episodes to 1) eclipse everything else from the first 5 and 2) make it possible to end the series at two seasons (though I hope it gets renewed)

Step Daddy lyrics

Step daddy, I know what you want
I come through like the first of the month
Ain't nothing but a holiday
When I **** my way
I'm her worst nightmare, her wettest dream
We always do that freaky thing
And when I'm coming to her house
I know just what she's all about
Don't waste no time, get in it
Keep on humping til my head starts spinning
Whoop that ass like a world champ
Break the chairs and knock down the lamp
In my birthday suit, dripping wet
No I ain't tripping how freaky it get
Feeling that sweat on my eyebrow
Nothing can't stop me but nature now
****ing your ***** like them pros do
Something you can't get close to
Born to Mack in my drop-top Caddy

Just call me ";Step Daddy"; (Repeat 3x)

How many mothers in the house tonight, ladies?
How many daddies take care of them babies?
They got to learn to take care of their own
Getting girls pregnant and leaving 'em alone
Fine little *****es, way too young
Met Short Dog and then gave him some
So why you keep talking about the PG&E?
When all she ever wanted was a man like me
To come through, and do that thang
Step Daddy in the house, and I got game
So lock your back doors, check your hoes
Suck on the ***** and lick them toes
Step Daddy coming through like a ****o flick
Freak the *****, now she loves my dick
She let me bust big nuts all in her mouth
And S.D. turned the ***** out

Just call me ";Step Daddy"; (Repeat 4x)Gold-digging *****es in the City of Dope
Got it going on like a daytime soap
She's so freaky, she'll make you shout
One on the way and got two at the house
Three different daddies, and all is well
As long as them brothers keep making mail
And it's cool, when I come through
Play step daddy for a minute or two
And then **** her, that's how it's done
It's not my daughter and it's not my son
So what if your kids start tearing **** up
I really don't give a ****
I never get mad about the **** they break
When I'm around, we eat steak
I let the mother****ers act bad
Buy 'em toys when they're crying and sad
Could you be 'em? Your baby's momma
Turns me on in her freaky pajamas
I come through and make the whole house happy

Just call me ";Step Daddy"; (Repeat 3x)

Get freaky, and do it wild
On the floor, doggy style
I get rugburns, on my knees
While your ***** be crying ";Please
don't stop"; So I don't
I **** her like I know you won't
Pull out my dick and make her lose hope
Stick it back in and make her take some notes
If that's your *****, homeboy you'd better keep her
Cause she won't stay off my beeper
You can't **** her and I appreciate it
Even though I know you hate it
I keep getting that good ****
S.D. wanna **** your *****
Come through and make the hoe so happy

Just call me ";Step Daddy"; (Repeat 2x)

Err, I thought they're talking love songs here. But, yeah, come to think of it, try singing Achy Breaky ala-Bangles' Eternal Flame and you've got yourself a mushy, moochy love song!! :p :D

it's a lust song.
and probably the best lust song out there. 2nd to that comes "Crush" from Garbage.

My vote is "I Love You" by Vanilla Ice or that slow one by Rod Stewart.
