So I heard Bangalter and Falcon's "So Much Love To Give", I really like it. And I can't stop thinking about the phrase "So Much Love To Give" and possible contexts for it. Well you see what I'm saying here, has this ever happened to you?

I'm shuddering at this one, but it seems I actually am finding myself espousing something done by U2. Their rather sinister-sounding take on Sinatra's "Night And Day" on the RED HOT + BLUE compilation tweaked the crooner's standard from an otherwise harmless and workaday tribute to a lady's charm into a song about desperate obsession and, conceivably, stalking.

if there's no pop guilt on this board then there shouldnt be any old U2 guilt...

Imperial Teen's album What Is Not to Love.
They claim by omitting the usual question mark it becomes more a question of not being able to love as opposed to the connotation of self-praise the phrase has in common usage.

only the trite achieves pathos

The Chills' "Rain" is a good example of this...

Night and Day is never a cliche song & it isn't Sinatra's but Porter's and one of his best (second only, I think, to "You've got that thing).
