true... but were talking about a twisted love song here

And a twisted love song can't be a parody?

OBJECTION: Alimony, Confessions Part III, Isle Thing...

Isle thing is a love song? I see it as a song that takes place on a first date (which probably doesnt have love attached to it) but focuses on a tv show. Unless you are referring to the love of Gilligan, in which case you are correct

And that's what makes it even more twisted.

Regardless of its place on the tracklist, something about this title just screams "original" to me...the parodies tend to have less vague, banal titles...

Yeah, in Isle Thing, he's hanging out with a woman, but that does not mean it was a date.. he went to her "crib" and found her glued to the tv, and when he tried to speak up, she basically said "shut up im watching tv." They hadn't even gotten to the date, there's no twisted or love in the song as it then becomes all about Gilligan.

The events described in Isle Thing are most certainly a date. He met the girl at a Circle K and "made a date for half past eight." When he got there, she was watching TV but he still stayed to watch. Believe me, some of my best dates have involved just sitting on the couch watching shows.

For some reason, that doesn't surprise me.

that technically isn't a date either. sitting on the couch is called "hanging out" a date is when you go somewhere

I just love this title. It reeks of '80s love anthems and rock ballads.
