I have to say, I've never considered "Pride" a :heart: song.. but whatever. :shrug:

yeah....what about all the other U2 songs that would fit his list? :eyebrow: two hearts beat as one...that one would be alot better than Pride in my own opinion. oh well though! :tongue:
 
I'm thinking he was lazy and just searched for most songs containing the word LOVE.

What a sillie goose! :drunk:

It seems like it. That was bizarre
 
How about One, Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses, Trip through Your Wire... I think the guy just picked the first 75 songs he could think of

No kidding...it's about Martin Luther King, Jr.

Which is why I never understood its being put in that elephant love medley from "Moulin Rouge" (seriously, I'm gonna kill Ewan McGregor for ruining that song...).

"In A Little While" would have been a nice one.
