Sleestak Valentine Sunday

Valentines Day is two days from now. Why not get your sweety a box of Chocolate Sleestak? With nice shiny licorice eyes? Exclusively from Bracha-Chaka Candies.
Set of Chocolate Sleestak
Everyone loves to bite the ears off chocolate bunnies first. They think they taste better. With chocolate Sleestak, it must be the horn at the top that gets nipped off first.

As Valentines day approaches, what do you think the best love songs of all time are? Rather than make my own list, I found this list at AllTimeClassicSongs:.

1. Everything I Do (I Do For You) – Bryan Adams

2. Hard To Say I’m Sorry – Chicago

3. I Will Always Love You – Whitney Houston

4. Unchained Melody – Righteous Brothers

5. Don’t Know Much – Linda Ronstadt & Aaron Neville

6. Endless Love – Diana Ross & Lionel Ritchie

7. Close To You – The Carpenters

8. It Must Have Been Love – Roxette

9. Waiting For A Girl Like You – Foreigner

10. Sara – Starship

Let me see. #10. I hate Starship. creators of one of the worst music videos of all time, "We Built This City" (also one of the worst songs of the 80s). And yes, I like Jefferson Airplane. But once the group traded in wings for warp nacelles, they lost me. #9 isn't bad, I grow to like "Foreigner" more and more over the years. I also wrote my own song similar to this one. #7 isn't bad either. #6 is one I find to be tedious and tuneless, not a favorite at all. #5 I admit I don't know. #4 is always a great one. #3... well it was in my head last night when I read about Whitney Houston's passing. #2 I can leave. While I love early Chicago with the horns and all, I am not fond of their later work. #1 isn't bad either, but I could probably think of better ones.

Does anyone have any other suggestions for great love songs?

Chocolate Sleestak is certainly one thing that I never expected to see in life. Just goes to show that we never know! : )

It's a good list, but very focused on a particular time and genre. There are so many amazing love songs. "At Last" by Etta James springs to mind and one of my particular faves is "Night + Day" by Al B. Sure.

At last... I am able to connect to Etta James' music. I remember when she died recently, there were reports on the radio and songs were mentioned that I just did not know. But "At Last" is one I knew, and I had no idea it was hers. Now I know. Thanks for making this connection.

As for the Sleestak chocolate treats, they might be good after eating this Sleestak Sandwich.

As for Al. B Sure, he is entirely new to me. His name and music. Check out this video featuring the World Trade Center. He sounds good too. If I get a bunch more suggestions, I will make another post containing them.

Thanks for your comment.

"As Time Goes By"

Old school, I know.

I used to slow dance to "Color My World" by Chicago. Ahhh. Dawn Keller. Heavy sigh.

Off this list, I'd have to vote for "Unchained Melody". I don't know why they chose that Foreigner song. "I Wanna Know What Love Is" is so much better as love songs go.

Ha! I'd love to get a box of yummy Sleestaks. =:D

As long as we are thinking of classic rock songs, there's "Faithfully" by Journey.

I would love a box of chocolate Sleestak. They're quite cute. I mean scary!
One of my favorite love songs is You're the First, the Last, My Everything by Barry White.

No. 5 is easily the best of the group but why they don't list the Sam Cooke version is mind boggling.
