36. "Love Stinks" by the J. Geils Band {#38; 4/80} [Video: Love Stinks. (Dang! The J. Geils Band really do have faces for radio, don't they?)]
"You love her, but she loves him. And he loves somebody else. You just can't win." These words were my existence in a nutshell in 7th and 8th grades. (Once again, I've already written about this song and its meaning in my life at: Love Stinks (And Other Smelly Tales from Junior High).)
Aside from the junior high connection, "Love Stinks" also figures prominently in one of my favorite movies of all time, The Wedding Singer. And if you don't believe me, just ask fat guy, sideburns lady and the Mutants Over At Table 9. (Here's a link: Sandler: Love Stinks.) My favorite part? "Cindy and Scott are newlyweds! Whoopadeedoo!!!"
COMING UP NEXT: Is it possible? A band uglier than the J. Geils Band?
