I'm making my fiance a mix tape for Vday and I need some ideas... I really want to avoid "traditional" love songs... No Celine Dion, Air Supply, Journey, etc.
I've already got things like
Weezer's "If you're wondering if I want you",
Beastie Boys "She's Crafty",
The Pixies "Here Comes Your Man",
Smashing Pumpkins "The Boy",
and our song is Devotchka's "How it Ends"
I also have some instrumental/chiptune stuff from a friend of mine's band.
So I'd love to get some more ideas on what to include, totally open to new music, even fun pop-ish love songs as long as they're not too sappy.

I actually like it, which is a shocker for semi-romantic songs.
or for a serious post (well.. MORE serious)

Simple lyrically, but an awesome song: "I Feel Love" cover by Blue Man Group (starts around 2:30)

Cake - "Love You Madly"

"Danger! High Voltage" by Electric Six is fun

On a more classy note, Micheal Buble

Also, some Barry White, preferably with a hot tub :winky:
Flogging Molly - "Devil's Dance Floor"
Mindless Self Indulgence - "Bitches" (both parties must be familiar with the Pikachu video that uses this song)

Wow. I was just looking at the mix tape I last made for my girlfriend for ideas. Had a song from Vancougar on there. Pretty obscure band
Feel good song?

Testosterone overkill?

But it's your fiance huh? Then this is the BEST song. Just need a sense of humor and a love of awesome music.

Had to upload it myself. I'd been planning to upload more of their music for a while now. It's a damn shame they didn't get more attention.
