As we enter the week of romance, we can't help but feel a little bit smitten (or bitter), wallowing in the stomach-churning melodies of sappy ballads. Like lovesick puppies, we tend to lose ourselves to the emotional rush they give us as we tune in and listen or, God forbid, sing along.
SPOT.ph lists down 10 of the most addictively bad love songs that will probably always have a place in every KTV machine in the country:
"As Long As You Love Me" by the Backstreet Boys
Cheesiness:
Laughs: ![]()
Why it's addictive: It's an old-school Backstreet Boys track, of course it's addictive. It makes singing "Quit Playing Games" and "I Want It That Way" with matching boyband choreography look completely normal.
Why it's bad: While listening to the song, you're forced to ask whether the boys have zero standards in choosing their flames, or if they really just don't care if their lovers end up being deranged serial killers or bald, middle-aged men.
Our favorite line: "I don't care who you are, where you're from, what you did, as long as you love me."
"Total Eclipse of the Heart" by Bonnie Tyler
Cheesiness:
Laughs: ![]()
Why it's addictive: It grabs you in a hypnotic, phantom-like way. That's probably because of how the words "turn around" supersede every other lyric of the song; we might as well change the title to "Turn Around Bright Eyes."
Why it's bad: Aside from its "superb" lyrics, we should also mention that the video is equally hilarious, especially if you watch the literal version.
Our favorite lines: "I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark. We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks."
