How come 99% of pop songs...

[FurrySlipperBoots]

are about sex, romantic love or breaking up? Why do you so rarely get ones about loving your children, or about platonic friendship, or losing a parent? Why are there no songs about the adoration we feel for our pets? There are other stories out there to be told via song, than just the 'Ooo baby don't you love me?' type, which don't half get repetitive!

"Slithering snake how I love how you eat your chunky mouse.. 🎶"

Didn’t Michael Jackson write a song about his pet rat?

This is why "Paperback Writer" was written. Paul McCartney's aunt wanted something different from love songs.

Love me love my dog by Peter Shelley

If I were a song writer, I'd definitely fill the huge gap in food themed songs. Why do not more people sing about food?

Jonathan Richan is your man.

"Double Chocolate Malted":

"Double chocolate malted
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
No ma'am, a single is not enough, not enough, no
(No, no, no)
I want a double chocolate malted today
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I want that Horlicks brand of chocolate malted
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah, I want two scoops!
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I don't want just a single
(No, no, no)"

Also, "I Eat With Gusto, Damn! You Bet".

On other themes, "Since she started to ride," about how his girlfriend now spends all her time with horses, "I was dancing in the lesbian bar," "My affected accent," and many others!

That visiting hours song by ed Sheeran is a tear jerker. I sobbed in the car when I heard it on the radio after my gran died.

Bad Blood by Taylor Swift
High Hopes by Panic! At the Disco
Castle on the Hill - ed Sheeran
Survivor by Destiny's Child
Martha my dear by the Beatles was about a dog wasn't it?

That's just off the top of my tired old head

I could also draw your attention to the collected works of Parry Gripp, including the classics
"Yum yum breakfast burrito"
"Pancake robot"
"Space unicorn" (my personal favourite)
And "chicken nugget Dreamland".

You are welcome

Dolly Parton wrote ' I will always love you' about a work colleague ( non romantic relationship). She wrote loads of songs which weren't about romantic love.

Taylor Swift- the song that says ' oooh darling don't you ever grow up, just stay this little'

Ed Sheeran- Little Bump

Graceland - Paul Simon
