love songs about things and NOT people

I need everybody's help. My wife is looking for love songs about the love of things, or even ideas, but not people. So far we've come up with "I'm in Love with My Car" by Queen and "She Loves my Automobile" by ZZ Top. Any love songs dedicated to pants, furniture, paperweights.....?

 

Donovan - I Love My Shirt

 

'I Love my Car' by Belle and Sebastian

'Toast' by Streetband (the young Paul Young)

'Love Me, Love My Dog' by Peter Shelley

'On Horseback' by Mike Oldfield

 

The Beach Boys - "Ballad of Ole' Betsy":

"She was born in '32, and was she ever pretty;
She rode the freight train west all the way from Detroit City..."

My favorite lines:

"With some she travelled fast, with others it was slow;
Betsy'd seen them all, she'd seen them come and go;
She must have had some favorites before I finally met her -
But now that she's all mine, they'd better just forget her..."

To say nothing of the "Betsy took some beatings/but she never once complained" bridge...

 

Good Old Desk - Harry Nilsson

Martha My Dear - The Beatles

Red Red Wine - Neil Diamond and UB40

The Coffee Song - Cream

 

"I Love My Leather Jacket" by the Chills

there are lots about Cars

 

Autophilia or 'How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love My Car' - The Bluetones

 

Long May You Run by the Stills-Young Band.

 

"Kites Are Fun" - Free Design

 

Chestnut Mare by the Byrds is a love song about a horse.

 

You guys rock!

I've also come up with the "I Love Rock & Roll" and, of course, "I Love Rocky Road."

 

Ryan Adams "New York, New York " (I'm getting some mileage on the forum from that song today)

 

"I Love L.A." - Randy Newman

 

Given their overall quirkiness, I say this qualifies as a love song:

Tortoise Brand Pot Scrubbing Cleaner's Theme -- Shonen Knife

 

well I stand corrected on New York New York , see the SNL thread, so forget it.

 

'Joy Division Oven Gloves' by Half Man Half Biscuit

 

I Love My Dog by Cat Stevens. Then again, people consider dogs more dear to them than people!

 

Cat Stevens - "I Love My Dog"

(Oops...somebody beat me to it!)

 

"...she'll be just like a wife..."

 

Not sure how accurate this is, but wasn't "Green Eyed Lady" by Sugarloaf supposed to be about a cat?

 

Paul McCartney - 'Golden Earth Girl'

 

I Like Trains - Fred Eaglesmith

 

Chicago - Frank Sinatra

 

1952 Vincent Black Lightning, Richard Thompson

Ok, he kinda digs the girl too.
