All About Him Song Tournament

I am just not that fond of the Percy Sledge thing. Too slow for me.

Smooth Operator is about a guy who has romantic affairs and gets away with it. It's sung by a woman, but it's not about women.

Wild Boys is about boys who are wild, so it IS about males.

The Sade song is a good tune and nomination, but it's basically just easy listening. I think most people like it, but I don't know how many people love it.

Also a good song and nomination.

And it will get my vote over Percy Sledge. Promise.

I thought Sade was a lesbian, but apparently she's not. Her daughter is now a transgender man, though.

Yeah, it is a great song. It was a last minute switch for me. I heard it on the radio as I was driving home from work, and thought "This will be a killer nom!"

What songs would you consider songs that you love over just liking them?

We're waiting on gbg to vote, by the way.

GBG won't be here for hours, I imagine. It's the weekend. She sells things all weekend long.

I honestly thought Sheryl Crow's Strong Enough had the best chance out of all my noms to make it far.
That song fits the theme perfectly, and is my favorite out of all my noms.
Sadly, it was booted out too soon.

There's thousands of them. That's a strange question.

Name ten.

Name songs I love?

Yes.

Rock You Like A Hurricane
Gimme Shelter
The End
People Are Strange
Wish You Were Here
Ballroom Blitz
California Dreamin'
House of the Rising Sun
Werewolves of London
Welcome to the Jungle

This is all about men, and how they react over women, loving women, being miserable over women, etc . . .

When a Man Loves a Woman

When a man loves a woman
Can't keep his mind on nothing else
He'll trade the world
For the good thing he's found
If she's bad he can't see it
She can do no wrong
Turn his back on his best friend
If he put her down

When a man loves a woman
Spend his very last dime
Trying to hold on to what he needs
He'd give up all his comfort
Sleep out in the rain
If she said that's the way it ought to be

Well, this man loves a woman
I gave you everything I had
Trying to hold on to your precious love
Baby, please don't treat me bad

When a man loves a woman
Down deep in his soul
She can bring him such misery
If she plays him for a fool
He's the last one to know
Loving eyes can't ever see

When a man loves a woman
He can do no wrong
He can never own some other girl
Yes when a man loves a woman
I know exactly how he feels
'Cause baby, baby, baby, you're my world

When a man loves a woman

OPEN FLOOR.

I've known those lyrics by heart for about 35 years. You could also say that it's about what she does to him. It's just how you decide to word it.

If you check my original lists, Percy Sledge wasn't a last minute choice, and I was going to work him back on, if at all possible. That's why I named him so quickly, once you told me I had a duplicate. I truly wanted him on my list.
