Garbage – #1 Crush

  General Comment:This song came out..how many years ago???...and I'm JUST now finding the original version on Grooveshark. If you listen to both versions, you'll find the version that made it to the Romeo & Juliet Soundtrack is the most romantic of love songs in comparison. On the original, the beat is harsher, the guitars darker...it's a whole other vibe! If the R&J version says "I love you so much I'd do ANYTHING, go anywhere to keep your love," the original version says "I love you so much that I've been hiding in your bushes for 3 weeks now, when you leave the house I either follow you around and know your schedule better than you do--or I just break in and sniff all your panties, the cat you thought ran away is actually stuffed and sitting on my dining room table, and any man not an immediate relative is going to come up missing. And if you don't love me soon, you might just come up missing, too."
  
  At least, that what the differences seemed like to me lol.

  General Comment:i dont know about the "obsessively" in love comments. i mean i suppose, it could come off that way. Ever love someone so much you would do anything for them? reminds me of loving a very close friend but being too shy to go for it with him.. thank god he finally came around.

  My Opinion:I think the name says it all. Pretty cut and dry.

  General Comment:This song is beautiful!--Kendra, NY
  
  Seriously, it's a very honest song with feelings that I'm sure has past through all of us at some point.

  General Comment:Anyone calling this a beautiful love song, please state your name and location as a warning to the public.
  
  Seriously, it's a dark and awesome song, but it's a stalker anthem. Period. I bet y'all are the type who play Sting's "Every Breath You Take" at wedding receptions.

  General Comment:I love this song, I think it's great, it really does show how the writer is obsessed with someone, and has the #1 crush bigger and better than anyother. Sometimes you'd do anything for the one you love.
