My wife walked down the aisle to Darth Vader's theme and our song was "Turn My Head" by Live. I think some people were just putting down any love song and calling it stalkerish - 'cause Justine swings that way. Well, I’m the wrong person to judge a wedding song.

My sister and I were playing some music around the house the other day and during every other song that came up one of us would look up and say "did you hear that? stalker!" Lucia: You know, I actually like the song better when he is singing it alone. not that I dont like Amaia of course... Ever since the contest I’ve been hearing stalker songs everywhere.

Oh, cant you see You belong to me How my poor heart aches With every breath you take Every move you make Every vow you break Every smile you fake Every claim you stake Ill be watching you Every move you make Every step you take Ill be watching you Ill be watching you Ill be watching you Ill be watching you Ill be watching you... I mean, how creepy is that when you really think about it? But maybe it was too obvious to win. I always thought Sting’s Every Breath You Take should be called The Stalker Anthem:

Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
Ill be watching you

Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
Ill be watching you

Oh, cant you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take

Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
Ill be watching you

Since youve gone I been lost without a trace
I dream at night I can only see your face
I look around but its you I cant replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
I keep crying baby, baby, please…

Oh, cant you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every breath you take

Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
Ill be watching you

Every move you make
Every step you take
Ill be watching you

Ill be watching you
Ill be watching you
Ill be watching you
Ill be watching you…

I mean, how creepy is that when you really think about it? But maybe it was too obvious to win.

I remember once really listening to Billy Joel's "Just the Way You Are," and thinking, wait, wait, "I don't want clever conversation"? Clever conversation strikes me as one of the most important things you can have in a relationship. What the heck is wrong with that guy? Oh, that's right, he doesn't want to work that hard...

How is "Hey there Delilah" a stalker song? My stalker threshold is pretty low and I still don't see that at all. It's a very sweet love song about a guy thinking of his girlfriend very very far away!

I was just cooking dinner and humming to myself...and then it hit me: "Baby It's Cold Outside!" I had to run here to see if anyone mentioned it, or if the winners were announced. :) Seriously though, "What's in this drink?" Potential date rapist songs were never so adorable.
