I'd be curious to see the leftovers when everyone is done. Promise not to say they are "better."
I think just about all of the picks are in so here are some other songs that I considered at some point:
50 Ways to Leave Your Lover (Paul Simon) - Would have been a fun addition to the theme but don't like the song as much.
Escape / Pina Colada (Rupert Holmes) - Another one that I thought would have been a funny take on the situation
That's Just the Way it is Baby (The Rembrants) - Great fit and I like the song alot but I anticipated some Rembrants "I'll Be There for You" backlash.
Love Will Tear Us Apart Again (Joy Division) - Great fit but vibe was getting too depressing already at points
The Heart of the Matter (Don Henley) - Great fit and I like the song but not as much as the others
Song for the Dumped (Ben Folds Five) - Probably my favorite petty angry dumped song but this situation was "amicable".
Same Old Lang Syne (Dan Fogelberg) - Not a perfect fit but always makes me so nostalgic relationship-wise and good timing for the season.
You Lost That Loving Feeling (The Righteous Brothers) - Really surprised this didn't make an appearance. If I picked it I would have posted the scene from Top Gun instead of the video, is there even one?
A bunch of others (but not all) in no particular order:
Shut Up and Let Me Go (The Ting Tings)
Just Give Me a Reason (Pink and Nate Ruess)
Try (Pink)
It Must Have Been Love (Roxette)
Total Eclipse of the Heart (Bonnie Tyler)
Love Bites (Def Leppard)
With or Without You (U2)
Man in the Box (Alice in Chains)
We Just Disagree (Dave Mason)
The Chain (Fleetwood Mac)
Dreams (Fleetwood Mac)
That's All (Genesis)
Stop Dragging My Heart Around (Tom Petty & Stevie Nicks)
Mandolin Rain (Bruce Hornsby)
Fortress Around Your Heart (Sting)
Don't Shed a Tear (Paul Carrack)
Looking for a New Love (Jody Watley)
Ok, I have stuff to do and getting tired of typing...
