A fabulous, hilarious gift for anyone who ever lived through the cheesy love songs of the 70s and 80s.

My girlfriend gave me this book for our 4-month anniversary because she knows I'm a big Fred Schneider fan. I kind of wish that his introduction was longer but the rest of this book was great, esp. the Air Supply poem: "Every time I see you / all the rays of the sun / are streaming through the waves in your hair / and every star in the sky / is taking aim at your eyes / like a spotlight." God, they just don't write 'em like they used to.

1.0 out of 5 stars LOVE POEMS? LOVE, SICK IN THREE-QUARTERS TIME, January 26, 2003

This review is from: I Can't Fight This Feeling (Hardcover)

This "poems" in this thin volume are actually love songs ..,. such popular ditties as "I Honestly Love You," "Sometimes When We Touch," "Take My Breath Away," "Islands in the Stream," "Like a Virgin" and "Hooked on a Feeling." What a gimmick. What a rip-off. The performers who sang the songs are credited (the actual composers and lyricists are listed in the back of the book), presumably because names like "Madonna" and "Olivia Newton-John" are much familiar (and more marketable) than "Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly" and "Stephen Kipner and Terry Shaddick." Hot stuff? Please. Don't make me feel guilty. Even for the hot bloodied, the glory of love featured here is bad medicine. Originality, more than words, is still the one. I can't fight this feeling of ... up-chucking.
