* ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperMarioBrosMovie'': Bowser's love song "Peaches" is PlayedForLaughs, given how masculine of a bad guy he is and how rarely he sings in the series. You certainly wouldn't expect a big, scary turtle general to have a genuine, heartfelt song for his crush. The word "Peaches" gets repeated constantly at the end, as if he's already run out of ideas for lyrics, and escalates to ChewingTheScenery-levels of soulful.

* {{Music/NOFX}} have a few fun love song parodies: "Whatever Didi Wants" rejects the kind of exaggerated promises made in love songs (e.g. "I wouldn't walk 500 miles / when I could fly coach") but is still a love song itself. Others tend to just be love songs towards unconventional subjects: "Hot Dog In A Hallway" is an ode to a BigBeautifulWoman, while "Monosyllabic Girl" is about being in love with an extremely TerseTalker (I take her down to the aquarium, she says "shark" / I take her to the planetarium, she says "dark").

* Music/{{Zucchero}}: Some of his songs portray romance with a noticeably flowery narrative, such as "Indaco Dagli Occhi Del Cielo" (Indigo Like the Eyes of the Sky), where he describes love as an influx of "kisses falling from the sky" and which are "light as apple blossoms" and look like "mercuty drops". The funny thing is that Zucchero himself claims that he wasn't always good at writing deeply romantic songs.

** Much older than that, even. Medieval minstrels composed silly love songs up the ass. Basically the ancient equivalent of, "Tra la la, I love you, dee dah dah."

** "Songs of Love" by The Divine Comedy (which is, incidentally, a reworked version of the theme for ''Father Ted'' that they composed), is about a boy who sits in his room writing love songs while his peers are out chasing girls.
* Mildly parodied in Music/TheTurtles' "Elenore," which randomly juxtaposes straight Silly Love Song material with parental opposition and IntercourseWithYou themes, and includes the famous lines:

** WordOfGod says that "Elenore" was written as a TakeThat against the ExecutiveMeddling of their record company, who wanted them to make more commercial hits like "Happy Together," when they wanted to move on to more progressive music and concept albums like ''Battle of the Bands''. [[SpringtimeForHitler So they deliberately wrote]] [[StealthParody the most banal bubblegum pop song they could]], but it [[MisaimedFandom still was a big hit and a signature Turtles song]].

* The Music/MichaelBuble song "Everything" seems to fit with this trope.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperMarioBrosMovie'': Bowser's love song "Peaches" is PlayedForLaughs, given how masculine of a bad guy he is and how rarely he sings in the series. You certainly wouldn't expect a big, scary turtle general to have a genuine, heartfelt song for his crush. And it repeats the word "Peaches" constantly in the chorus.

The song "King For A Day" from [[Music/ForeverTheSickestKids Forever The Sickest Kids]] in a large nutshell, it's about someoeg singing about doing anything for a specific someone, even going as far as to tell them if he was king for a day, he would make her their queen
