I guess this might be cheating a little, but I’d like to toss out Serge Gainsbourg’s Je T’aime…Moi Non Plus. Technically it’s a “love” song…right?

Tuff Luff by the Uniconrs?
I guess that’s not too romantic sigh.
Now I gotta go find Fistful of Love with Lou Reed–

They’re all good choices. Serge definitely has the “amour” going for it, and you can’t go wrong with Lou Reed. I almost used “Satellite of Love,” but I feel like I see that everywhere these days. And there’s nothing wrong with the Unicorns.

Damn, how did “Satellite of Love” sneak under my radar? As far as never going wrong with Lou Reed, I nod heartily in agreement.
Nice job on the list.
