OK Go, "It's Tough To Have A Crush"
(2000)

Well it's tough to have a crush
When the boy doesn't feel the same way you do
Well it's tough to have a crush
When your best friend breaks the news
Perhaps you'll find me feeling better in a day or two
But it's tough to have a crush on you

Well it's tough to have a crush
Whoever knew such hullabaloo
Well it's tough to have a crush
When it only leaves you blue
Perhaps they'll find you in the river in a month or two
Well it's tough (so tough) to crush on you
Well it's tough (so tough) to crush on you
Yeah it's tough (so tough) to crush on you


I've got a huge soft spot for straight-boys-in-love songs, like this one and "I Still Remember" and "The Soldiering Life." I guess because every little girl has some experience with intense affection in her relationships growing up, so it's nice to see the boys are getting in on it, too.

But okay, this one's a bit sinister.
