Have you ever really listened to "Jesse's Girl"? It's the heart-warming tale of a guy who's trying to steal his friend's girlfriend and is frustrated and confused that she's not charmed by his pickup lines and smooth talking. What a dick!
Yesterday I was listening to REO Speedwagon. "Can't Fight This Feeling" -a classic power ballad all about true love, and co-dependency. Again with scary stalker overtones when this guy is determined to kick it up a notch with his platonic female friend.
Tip of the iceberg, these. We won't even get into the poster child of dangerous relationships: Sting with his "Every Step You Take." Mind you, all three songs make me smile. They're nostalgic in their own ways. ... and next up Animotion's "Obsession." Classic, I say! What are your favorite stalker songs?

And yes, he knew how "Lolita" went. That's why the Nabakov reference, and why it comes directly after "He starts to shake and cough".
