my best friend is currently having this dilemma. i told her to go with either "crush on you" by lil' kim and lil' cease or "ask" by the smiths.

any other suggestions that aren't too sappy, cheesy, or liberal in use of the l-word?

especially psych or neo-psych songs.

the outthere bros.

Ramones, "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend" (the potential gender-bending aspect makes it an even better choice!)

the crusher, you turkeyneck

that makes me think of "if i was your girlfriend" by prince.

i'm thinking that the smiths would do an impressive job of making the twenty year old male in question melt into his chuck taylors. he's interested in her, but they're both pitifully shy. that's where "ask" comes in.

"I'm The Bomb" by Electric Six. I'd probably want to say the sappy shit myself, rather than let a song do it.

Darn, Amateurist stole my answer. Otherwise
SPZ - 'You Know Its True/If I Were With Her Now/I Want You',
A Flock of Seagulls - Wishing (If I Had A Photograph)
Tracy Ullman (or the oringal version) - They Don't Know
The Romantics - What I Like About You
Aztec Camera - Oblivious
The Waitresses - I Know What Boys Like
Modern English - I Melt With You
Rheostatics - Introducing Happiness, I Fab Thee, Mumbletypeg, PIN and Majorca.

Sorry, beeen on a massive Rheos binge as of late.

My serious answer now:

If the crushee is a girl = Talking Heads' "And She Was".
If the crushee is a boy = Air's "Sexy Boy".

...if you want to scare the daylights out of her.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Tuesday, 5 August 2003 21:09 (twenty-two years ago)

If you want to give her the impression that you're a potentially obsessed stalker in your crushdom, why not select:

"I Burn for You" by the Police
"You're the Best Thing that Ever Happened" by the Style Council
"Everywhere I Go" by the Call

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Tuesday, 5 August 2003 21:12 (twenty-two years ago)

"If I Were With Her Now" by Spiritualized is nice too (for the main part, not for scaring her).

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Tuesday, 5 August 2003 21:12 (twenty-two years ago)

perhaps, broken heart by spiritualised, then for stalking purposes?

― doom-e, Tuesday, 5 August 2003 21:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Or "I Want You" by Spiritualized for counterintuitive crushing.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 5 August 2003 21:23 (twenty-two years ago)

send a copy of bob dylan's 'blood on the tracks' if crush is not reciprocated ...!!!

― doom-e, Tuesday, 5 August 2003 21:26 (twenty-two years ago)

failing that, drive over to the person's house and play 'why don't you like me?' by dinosaur jr.

"merely a man" - XTC

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Tuesday, 5 August 2003 21:34 (twenty-two years ago)

doom-e that song is called "don't" and it was lou barlow's last song with the band.

prince - "dirty mind" or "darling nikki"

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 5 August 2003 22:18 (twenty-two years ago)

"Nasty Girl" especially if you're a guy.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 5 August 2003 22:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Yo La Tengo - Damage
Chet Baker - Let's Get Lost
Guided by Voices - If We Wait
The Zombies - You Really Got a Hold on Me
The Seeds - Can't Seem to Make You Mine

― Kate Silver (Kate Silver), Tuesday, 5 August 2003 22:37 (twenty-two years ago)

a lot of these songs really would make me run away screaming

Bruce Springsteen - "Crush On You"

Possibly a bit too cheesy for your purposes, mind.

― retort pouch (retort pouch), Monday, 11 August 2003 15:15 (twenty-two years ago)

it would be a great idea if a band recorded an alb full of crush songs. then you could just tape it and give it to whoeever it is that you fancy. Loads of songs to get the point across.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Monday, 11 August 2003 15:24 (twenty-two years ago)

i think i love you, so what am i so afraid of...

― Felcher (Felcher), Monday, 11 August 2003 15:26 (twenty-two years ago)

giving this would be lazy and impersonal, therefore wrong and defeating the whole object of the crush tape!

― Dave Stelfox (Dave Stelfox), Monday, 11 August 2003 15:28 (twenty-two years ago)

"I've Got a Crush on You," the Linda Rondstadt version from, uh, Lush Life, I think, featuring the fabulous smooth sounds of Nelson Riddle and his orchestra. Could you coo? Could you sigh?

― andrew m. (andrewmorgan), Monday, 11 August 2003 15:39 (twenty-two years ago)

i want you by madonna and massive attack

― Evan (Evan), Monday, 11 August 2003 17:09 (twenty-two years ago)

If you wanna be really creepy about it, play the entirety of the first Blind Melon record, which pretty much is all about not having the balls to express love for an interest of desire while in the midst of trying to grow up, too. A vastly underrated disc, because of that honest weirdness.

― Chris O'Connor (Chris O'Connor), Monday, 11 August 2003 19:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I got a crush on you- beat happening
I'll shoot the moon, 9th& hennipin, temptation- tom waits
summer dress- red house painters
kiss me in the shadow of a doubt(edit out the screamy part)
I dream I dreamed- sonic youth
sometimes I still feel the bruse- trembling blue stars (bedsit types only)
lets go to bed, lovecats. friday I'm in love, etc. basically anything by the cure
harvest moon (esp the mtv unplugged vers.) neil young
the only one- american analogue ste
the magnetic fields box set- 69 love songs

― sourflower (dustjacket), Monday, 11 August 2003 19:48 (twenty-two years ago)

the seeds vers. is pretty good but alex chilton's take on Cant seem to make you mine is far mure gutwrenched and heartbroken-
one last bit of advice

Big dumb sex - by soundgarden

when it come to crushes, only an 8-hour mp3 mix cd of songs from a particular year (1947, say) will do.

(note: this may be a slight exaggeration)

i want someone to get a crush on me solely because of a mix i made.

I would've used "I Only Have Eyes for You" by the Flamingos.

A nice mixtape with some porngrind is the way to go.

The Jets: Crush on You

― deusner, Sunday, 12 October 2008 19:52 (seventeen years ago)

I've been alone with you inside my mind
And in my dreams I've kissed your lips
A thousand times
I sometimes see you pass outside my door
Hello
Is it me you're looking for?

I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your smile
You're all I've ever wanted,
(and) my arms are open wide
'Cause you know just what to say
And you know just what to do
And I want to tell you so much
I love you...

I long to see the sunlight in your hair
And tell you time and time again
How much I care
Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow
Hello
I've just got to let you know

'Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely,
or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying
I love you...
