There are some dandy pickup lines in titles and lyrics of certain songs. "You're much too beautiful to be a part of the human race ..." from Originals "God bless whoever sent you". Whew. Maybe I'll try this one soon at a bar or club. How about this one from the late David Oliver's "Never seen a girl like you". It goes"The good Lord must have had a vision when he created someone like you" most profound.Let's hear about your favourite inventive pickup line from a song.

Nice thread. One of my favorites.

Smokey's - "I don't mean to be so bold, but from the things that I've been told, you must be love, I do believe that you must be love."

By Julian (205.188.209.38) on Tuesday, February 18, 2003 - 02:42 am:

I have put "I love you better than anyone before" to use, from "Dream Come True."

Try it, it works!
(Advice - don't use it as a pickup line, but later on :oD)

This is kind of off a tangent from the idea of the thread; but I never could keep a straight face while listening to the Tempts' "Beauty Is Only Skin Deep" - just kept picturing the poor girl ever getting pissed or bursting into tears halfway through what is supposd to be a compilment. David, fellas- no girl wants to be told "you're ugly but, hell, I like ya!" Hey- next time any of us goes out on the prowl (girls too!) use the line;

"a pretty face you do not possess, but what I like about you is your tenderness"

....anyone who goes on to score wins a prize!!

By Soulpuss (24.102.217.36) on Tuesday, February 18, 2003 - 06:01 am:

Hi Yan: I can just imagine Michael Jackson falling for your example. The following is along the same line: "You don't have to be an outside beauty to be an inside cutie" from Jimmy Lewis' "Ain't whats on a woman ...". I admire jimmy's way with words. He's simply brilliant.

Soulpuss...when did "The Jamerican Man" David Oliver pass away ? Due to his lack of support from Mercury....I thought he had just left the business.

By Livonia Ken (136.1.1.101) on Tuesday, February 18, 2003 - 01:52 pm:

How about the Contours:

"You get ugly like a grizzly bear
You get noisy like a county fair
Fight a war like General Lee
Still I want you to marry me"

Nah! It probably wouldn't work any better than a line from "First I Look at the Purse"

"Good evening, sweet darling. May I ask your name...You seem to be lonely, well don't worry I'm feeling the same..."
Gene Chandler - "Groovy Situation" 1970

"I'm so glad you came, girl. I've spent my life forever waitin'. (I) didn't get your name girl, I'm just lookin' for some conversation."
Jay & the Techniques - "The Singles Game" 1968

AND FROM THE LADIES...
"C'mon back, I'm not planning to let you go. So c'mon back, so I could love you a little bit more.."
The Emotions - "So I Could Love You" 1969

"Do you see inside me, beside me..Do you want to ride inside my love..."
Minnie Riperton - "Inside My Love" 1975

Minnie's & Gene's are my most favorite lines.

Oh yeah, "Whatcha gonna do at a half past eight, it would knock me out, yeah! if we had a date..." - Clyde McPhatter on the Drifter's "WHATCHA GONNA DO"... So I wouldn't be moved by the lines, but CLYDE said it, so... it must be cool. :-)

Hi Twicked: David's corpse was found in a Florida hotel room sometime in the late 80's or early 90's.

Hey Stu!
In "Take A Letter, Maria" R.B. hits on the secretary AFTER he discovers his wife "in the arms of another man." So, turnabout is fair play, as my sister-in-law would say!

Wait...I got it wrong. I meant MOMENT..!

By Soulpuss (24.102.217.36) on Wednesday, February 19, 2003 - 11:41 pm:

Hi Horse: Title should be"My whole world ended the moment you left me". I love this song especially the flute intro. I think it's a flute.

Better yet, Whisper this to a woman. "I'm gonna make you love me' From Eddie Kendricks -Temptations- of the same name.

But the one that worked for me best was, "Excuse me, do you mind if I kiss you", then kiss her before she answers.. used in German when I was in Germany.. 48 hours later we were looking for an apartment.

NOTE: make sure she is single or you have major medical

By Horse (159.53.238.243) on Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 02:35 pm:

Soulpuss,

Just a little twist on words.

By Horse (159.53.238.243) on Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 02:38 pm:

Kegtapper,

Of course that would be stated without wearing a ski mask or anything ...right?

AND IF IT MEANS ANYTHING TO YOU TO KNOW THAT I CARE FOR YOU,CHECK IT OUT!..TAVARES!

By medusa9e (66.73.8.168) on Tuesday, March 11, 2003 - 10:25 pm:

U hit the nail on the head, with "Check It Out" by Tavares, everytime I listen to that song, it blows me away because he never says "I LOVE YOU"
but it's in there between the lines.
Check It Out 4 real.
