she said oh my dearest I'm not pretty, isn't it a pity that you won't kiss these rotten lips?

Odd question - do you know any love songs about explicitly unattractive people? I was just thinking, and my currently playing song (which is hardly a love song) is the only one I can think of, although I'm sure I must know more than that. There are plenty of songs where the narrator feels unattractive, or someone who's meant to be unpleasant is ugly, but the love interest is always STUNNING OMG. Which I suppose makes sense because usually you think someone's more attractive if you like them, but... basically what I am saying is I want YOU ARE FUNNY-LOOKING BUT I LOVE YOU TO BITS ANYWAY type things. Like Shakespeare's Sonnet 130. It's a hell of a lot more interesting than OH MY GOD SHE LOOKS LIKE A MODEL SO I LOOOOOVE HERRRR. (Fat Bottomed Girls and its ilk don't count because fat =! unattractive, obviously.)

Meanwhile, I am back in Quebec, which is lovely but I miss bits of NS more than I did the last time. If I could just move my university and the town and at least some of the people to Halifax I'd be happy as a clam.

OH ALSO, because it is fucking great, the yearly gigantic pop-music mashup!
United State of Pop 2009

It is just as excellent as last year and hasn't got Katy Perry in it this time (there is Miley, but it's still good). Except I lied. But she's in it for like two seconds. And there's lots of Gaga!
