love songs about things and NOT people

"Cracklin' Rosie"- Neil Diamond.
Not about a girl, but cheap wine.

 

"Me And My Arrow" by Harry Nilsson. I think that's his dog?

 

Neil likes his wine, that's for sure...

 

how about "I Love" by Tom T. Hall, where he talks about loving lots of things, barely a mention of people; and...not exactly people, but a part of people: "ILBT's" by Joe Walsh

 

Roxy Music - In Every Dream Home A Heartache

"I blew up your body
but you blew my mind!"

 

"Shannon"- Henry Gross
About a dog.

 

I'm In Love With My Car-Queen
Call Any Vegetable-The Mothers

 

"I Dig Love"-George Harrison

 

"Ben" - Michael Jackson (love song to a rat)

 

winner, winner, chicken dinner!

 

'Got To Get You Into My Life'

Paul revealed it was about marijuana

 

I would have rather said "I Love This House", a 1984 outtake first heard on "Oobu Joobu" in 1995 that was belatedly issued on one of the "Flaming Pie" CD singles.
Incidentally, it was recorded just after Paul moved from his circular-shaped house in Peasmarsh to another, bigger one nearby. And it was also in 1984 that Paul started recording at Hog Hill, a few miles from there.

 

In the same vein, but a slightly different subject - Does Alice Cooper's I love the dead count? Or Cold Ethyl for that matter?

Another one about cars - Ry Cooder's (Every woman I know) Crazy 'bout an automobile.

 

I thought about the Alice Cooper loves a corpse song too, BUT that was a person....albeit a dead one but still some form of human being!

 

"Cold Ethyl" is a good one.

 

Though it may be about lost youth - he really did love that tree:

"King of Trees" -- Cat Stevens

 

'I Love a Parade'???

 

"Money" - The Beatles (actually written by Barrett Strong as kind of a love song to...well, money)

 

Led Zeppelin's "Trampled Under Foot" is a love song about a car.

Come to me for service every hundred miles
Baby, let me check your points, fix your overdrive

 

XTC - Pink Thing

 

uh, I don't think that song is really about a car....

 

I think that song is ostensibly about a newborn (although the somewhat disturbing alternate meaning can certainly be read into it!)

 

Muskrat Love

 

lol everyone says this is a love song.. but it's more of a my-rat-is-my-buddy type of song

 

I think he is ostensibly singing about a newborn (although the somewhat disturbing alternate meaning can certainly be read into it!)
