An Hypothesis

While I was walking the walk described in the latter part of Saturday's blog, I found myself listening to...well, Titus Andronicus, but once that album had finished I decided to give Busted's seminal sophomore effort A Present For Everyone a spin.

And you know how you go to certain bands for certain situations? This was in one of the books I looked at while I was trying to find some literature to review for uni; this one girl in a study never listened to Radiohead unless she was really angry at her in-laws ("We hope that you choke!"). I personally reserve stuff like Manowar for when I want to feel like I could take on the world, but I'm sure you all have your own examples. Well, Busted - while it's true that most of their songs deal with love and related topics - they pretty much have a song for any relationship situation you'd care to name.

For example:

"I am falling in love with you" - Falling For You
"As much as I love having casual sex with you, I want to take our relationship to the next level" - That Thing You Do
"I want to fuck you, but you won't let me" - All The Way
"I want to fuck you, but I'm afraid that pictures of said act will appear in a tabloid newspaper" - Air Hostess
"I want to fuck you, but the age gap is irreconcilable, besides which it may put a strain on our working relationship" - What I Go To School For
"I suspect that I may have been cuckolded" - Who's David?
"Our relationship is ending and I am sad" - Losing You
"Our relationship is ending and I am ambivalent" - Over Now
"Our relationship is ending and I am extremely upset, in a radio-friendly way" - 3am
"I like tits"  - Year 3000
"Alas, you I cannot bring you to climax" - Fake
"Due to our traumatic breakup, I have developed nyctophobia" - Sleeping With The Light On
"I love you, and I fell that my impeccable sense of timing more than makes up for my refusal to seek employment" - Crashed The Wedding
"As supportive as I am of the LGBT community, I am concerned that your recent sex change operation will really put a damper on things" - She Wants To Be Me

Let me know if I've missed any. Sorry Busted if I've interpreted any of your songs wrong, I did go on songmeanings, but that was mostly just people slagging you off.

And sorry readers for posting this instead of an actual blog. Basically I stayed in bed all yesterday.
