What is up with 80s pop?

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 while we're on the subject - How did "Into the Night" by Benny Mardones ever get on the radio in the first place?

She's just sixteen years old
Leave her alone, they said
Separated by fools
Who don't know what love is yet

I mean yea, pedophile.
