"Teenager in Love" was a song from (I think) the '50s. it was on the Connie Stevens episode of The Muppet Show.

Annnnnd ALL the song references! (Not really.)

Giving love a bad name: A song by Bon Jovi. (Paraphrased from the actual title: "You Give Love a Bad Name.")

Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you: A lyric from "Africa", by Toto.

I'm in love with my car: A song by Queen.

It was only a kiss: A lyric from "Mr. Brightside" by The Killers.

LA Woman, you're my woman: "L.A. Woman", a song by The Doors.

Owner of a lonely heart: A song by Yes.

On the fine, fine line: A song from Avenue Q.

Might as well contribute:

• And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson is a reference to the Simon & Garfunkel song
• Cigarettes and Valentines was the name of an unreleased Green Day album
• Hello, I love you is a song by The Doors
• Tongue-tied is either a general phrase or a Red Dwarf reference

Non-Canon: "Canon" means all things official in a media, whether shown or from Word of God. The phrase here is referring to shipping, a non-canon ship. Basically saying your relationship is non-canon means you have eyes for someone but aren't in a relationship.

Love Is For The Living, Sal: I think this is a reference to Grim Fandango, Sal being the underworld's resident resistance leader that Manny seeks assistance from.

Found more by using my Google-fu:

• It's so nice to be turned on again - from Star Crash, can be seen in as an Accidental Innuendo in Star Crash
• One Is The Loneliest Number: - comes from One, a song written by Harry Nilsson and made famous by Three Dog Nights
• The new Mrs. Reynolds - the Title Character of an episode in Fire Fly
• You're a beautiful woman, probably - a quote said by the fourth doctor in the Doctor Who episode, City of Death
• What's love got to do with it? - the title of a song by Tina Turner

Dancing with myself: That's also a song, one by Billy Idol. And no, it's not about masturbating, stop it.

Um, guys?

Hasn't anyone noticed that this thread is in the wrong forum? It should be in Yack Fest or It Just Awes Me!, in my opinion.

Yeah, I noticed that myself...after there were already over 20 posts, and I didn't want to scrap the whole thing just to move it to another section.

Alright.

You can request a mod to move it, I think.

Instead of I Want You to Love Me it is actually I Want You to Want Me which is a Cheaptrick song.

Showing Feelings of an Almost Human Nature is a lyric to a Pink Floyd song called The Trial.

Loves me...loves me not: A reference to the game "He/she loves me, he/she loves me not" where one pulls flower petals from their stem.

P.S. I Love You: Could be a reference to the often covered song from 1934, or the one by the Beatles that has no relation to the other, or the 2004 novel/2007 film.

You can be my wingman anytime: A line from Top Gun.

Wanna dance with somebody: Reference to the song " I Wanna Dance With Somebody" by Whitney Houston.

What is this thing you call love: Seemingly a reference to the trope of the same name.

With my statistically significant other: A reference to this xkcd strip.

Less famously, there is a GACKT song called P.S. I Love You as well.

Is that a kind of food?: A reference to Dragon Ball; this is what Goku thought "marriage" was.

EDIT: Also I THINK this is what's meant by Mu. Basically it's a way of saying "the question has no clear answer" (or that's my understanding as someone with only a basic knowledge of Zen and Buddhism).

I actually learned about mu today from the Morton's Fork page (under a note), when used to answer a question, it means "no answer is consistent with reality."
