Love Songs Interpreted

Music thrives on the subject matter of love. Countless times, horny males have used romantic love songs to charm the pants off their chick-of-choice and dare I say vice-versa. Remember the Mack Morrison days, Boyz II Men, Dru Hill. Guess you do. Anyways,below is a list of the top love/relationship songs we have heard in the past two years. Most are downright corny and controversial as hell. There was no point picking the out rightly lovey-lovey ones, would render this blog post boring.



Song Title: Love the way you Lie
Artiste: Eminem featuring Rihanna
Who ever thought Mr Eminem, one of the most controversial men on earth could churn out a romantic song. Ably assisted by Rihanna, this song epitomizes modern day romance. With murderous thoughts such as suffocating his girlfriend, setting the whole house on fire, this is an intensely passionate song. The song title in itself preaches the fundamental and cardinal rules in every relationship- Lie to your partner. Rihanna crooned this with sexy gusto putting the nail in the coffin on the assumption that ladies absolutely love guys that rough them up. Y’all saw the video.



Song Title: Deuces
Artiste: Chris Brown featuring Tyga & Kevin McCall
After the debacle of doing a Dr 90210 on Rihanna’s face, Mr Brown became ostracized in the world of music, well that was until he took the feminine, sensitive way out by crying in front of the whole world after an enthralling Michael Jackson performance.
Brown came out with Deuces, one of the most remixed songs of 2010. Surprise, surprise, the theme of the song was about moving on after a sour relationship, finding another girl and making your ex jealous while at it. We can always guess who he was trying to refer to. Anyways, if Beyonce thought she was hot with Irreplaceable, this was the ultimate male revenge song. Hear Tyga’s punchline: “Leave your keys on the kitchen counter and give me the ruby ring with the big diamond.” This is the most anti-valentine song I have ever heard.




Song Title: Ekaette
Artiste: Maye Hunter
There is a saying that everyman man grows up to be his father. This rings true with this hit single by Maye Hunter called Ekaette. Majority of adolescents in Nigeria today got their first sexual experience from their horny house helps. In most cases this was the apple that opened our eyes to the intrigues between a woman’s thighs. Years later, this cycle continues when the boy becomes a man and seeks adventure yet again in the thighs of his hired help employed by his wife.
Maye Hunter weaved a candid story around this thereby making this one of our love songs. Ekaette is a complex love triangle between a man, his househelp and his friend which culminates into pregnancy. It is a laughable scenario which at the same time gives most men the jitters-the men that indulge in it. Arnold even did it.



Song Title: My Chick Bad
Artiste: Ludacris
Ludacris turned his brag on in this track eulogizing the qualities of his girlfriend above any other with colourful language. This song laced with endearing curse words is good enough to make your girlfriend blush in anticipation and pride on how much you value her. An advice though is to use this sort of language though behind closed doors away from the hearing of innocents. As if to taunt our imaginations further, the voluptuous Nicki Minaj jumps on the track to make us all fantasize on the joys of our girlfriends having a ‘Minajlike’ shape. If you are extremely proud of your girlfriend, this is the song for you.





Song Title: Nothing on You
Artiste: B.O.B
B.O.B is a charmer, this song accompanied by Bruno Mars is one every lady would want to hear to feel reassured. We know women always want to feel like they are the only ones; this was well echoed on the song. In short, this is a reassurance track. The song sounds like a reformed playboy trying to serenade his girlfriend that his past ways are gone and she is the one for him. Ladies, believe at your own peril.




Song Title: Whatcha Say
Artiste: Jason Derulo
This was one of the most popular songs of last year. The surprising thing about this song was that ladies loved the song extremely even though the subject matter of the song was of a guy that had messed up extremely and apologising to get a second chance. Derulo apologises for not doing something clever, notwithstanding he feel he deserves another chance; something majority of guys are also going through. Unfortunately, ladies would readily forgive Jason Derulo but not mere mortals like us.



Song Title: Grenade
Artiste: Bruno Mars
I’ll catch a grenade for you is one of the whitest lies I have ever heard in my life. How Bruno Mars always gets away with this every time to sell thousands of units and top charts is beyond understanding. He follows this with other impressive lies like jumping in front of a train for his lover. However on listening closely, you discover, this isn’t actually a love song but a regret song. Bruno mars obviously gawked for a girl, gave all of his love, sacrificed dough, time and didn’t get rewarded in kind. Enough said, this song is for Magas.




Song Title: You Know it
Artiste: Goldie
Without mincing words or lyrics, Goldie with swaggerlicious confidence reveals that she can get any woman’s man with her voluptuous body and her palms/fists. Married women and girls in relationships would obviously hate this song because it probably fills them with dread. Not only is Goldie threatening with her body, she has also vowed to slap them up if they don’t give up their man. Meanwhile, guys would always enjoy this scenario. We love being fought over...innit? Moreover, we aren’t threatened by Eldee’s threats; statistics show there are about 14 females to a man. If you lose one, move on to the next one in Jay Z style.
