I'm thinking about putting together a CD for my boyfriend for Valentine's Day. I have a few songs that are kind of "our songs", but I also wanted to put some really cheesy songs on it too.

Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwo'ole's medley of "What a Wonderful World" and "Somewhere over the Rainbow" is great. Not cheesy, but good for a mix.

Its Your Love by Tim McGraw and Faith Hill is kind of cheesy.
Could You, Would You, Ain't You Gonna, If I Asked You Would You Wanna Be My Baby Tonight by John Michael Montgomery is really cheesey (probabaly only called Be My Baby Tonight, but whatever).

"Like walking in the rain and the snow When there's nowhere to go And you're feelin' like a part of you is dying And you're looking for the answer in her eyes. You think you're gonna break up Then she says she wants to make up"

And along those lines, these classics from Olivia Newton-John:
"I Honestly Love You"
and
"Just call me angel of the morning, angel Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby..."
[Edit: not power ballads, more a'la "Endless Love." And twinky, you shouldn't be listening to cheesy love songs. You should be doing something nice and healthy for a young man, like eating graham crackers. And hiking up mountains.]

"Magic" (Ben Folds again, but this time Ben Folds Five)... and also, "Galapagos," by the Smashing Pumpkins. Though really, the former is marginally cheesy while the latter is just plain good.
Edit: CT, I'm going back to NZ soon and will be doing plenty of hiking. Does that make you feel better?

These all came from a disc a former flame gave me, I don't have artist info on most but I'm pretty sure they're all country or country-rock cause that's what he likes:
God Must Have Spent a Little More Time (Alabama and NSync) Feels So Right I'll Go On Loving You There Is Love (Peter Paul & Mary)

twinky, don't forget the graham crackers. They encourage personal purity. *virtuous look
"Dreamweaver" was an awesome call, but I think Annie's "You Light Up My Life" knocked the last ball out of the park.

OK, Dreamweaver wins the cheasiest award. I don't know how I forgot it, but when Mike Meyers decides to use a song as the epitome of cheesy love, you've got good authority.

That's a song about being dumped. Why John Hughes thought it was romantic I'll never understand.

Oh, Punwit. You win. Ew. Ew. Ew. Now I not only have the song in my head, but a vision of The Captain and Tenille as well.

Until now, I had never even thought of the possiblity that Dreamweaver might be a love song. And I still don't see how the either the lyrics or the music would conjure up that image.

Isn't that Celine Dion? Cuz any song she sings turns my stomach. I am not even sure why. I have a visceral reaction to her.

Not that cheesy, but Alanis Morrissette's "Head over Feet" is one of my favourites. David Gray "This year's love" or "Please Forgive Me" are both pretty cheesy (but I like them anyway). Oh, and anything by John Denver has just got to be cheesy (but I like many of his songs anyway, so there )

Ketchupqueen, that's another Captain and Tenille song. We could pretty much just list all of their songs and be pretty damn sure that they would qualify for cheesy. Here's another by C. and T.:
Do that to me one more time Once is never enough with a man like you Do that to me one more time I can never get enough of a man like you Whoa-oh-oh, kiss me like you just did Oh, baby, do that to me once again

Why do birds suddenly appear, Everytime you are near? Just like me, they want to be Close to you.
On the day that you were born The angels got together And decided to create a dream come true! So they sprinkled goldust in your hair And starlight to go in your eyes of blue!
And thats why All the girls in town follow you when your around. Just like me They want to be Close to you.
Laaaaaaa ah ah ah aaaaaaaah Close to you.

OK, the cheesiest love song, literally, is from Jimmy Buffet:
"Tried to amend my carnivorous habits Made it nearly seventy days Losin’ weight without speed, eatin’ sunflower seeds Drinkin’ lots of carrot juice and soakin’ up rays
But at night I’d had these wonderful dreams Some kind of sensuous treat Not zuchinni, fettucini or bulghar wheat But a big warm bun and a huge hunk of meat
Chorus: Cheeseburger in paradise (paradise) Heaven on earth with an onion slice (paradise) Not too particular not too precise (paradise) I’m just a cheeseburger in paradise"
"Cheeseburger in Paradise"

Captain & Tenille are great! They do a disco fantasy version of "Happy Together" complete with stampeding horse effects.
Actually, I once made a CD of cover versions of "Happy Together." I had a punk version, a Mel Torme lounge version, an instrumental bluegrass rendition, a jazz version, reggae, acapella, and of course Captain & Tenille. My roommates thought I was off my rocker. I thought it was the funniest thing I'd ever done.
Oh yeah, also add "Happy Together" by the Turtles.

Oh, and you need "Baby Baby" by Amy Grant and "Love is a Wonderful Thing" by Michael Bolton. Actually, how about Michael Bolton's entire catalog?
