Obscurus Lupa: I would rather drink a bucket of nails than go out with you, you weirdo! Nostalgia Chick: Yes, you'll get slapped if you're lookin', ho! [Lupa facepalms.] Todd, do you ever think your standards are too high? You know, you could give love a chance. We belong together! It would be the greatest love story ever written... for the Internet. Todd: No, it won't. No one writes love stories that start with someone lowering their standards. Think—have you ever heard a love song that goes like this? Nostalgia Chick: [heart-struck whispering] You're so talented! Todd: Yeah, I know, that was pretty awesome. Although that gives me an idea... Todd: You know, we have songs in this world all about different subjects, but if there's one thing that has fascinated the [paintings of poet (not sure who), Shakespeare, and a fancy party] great poets and writers and especially the singers and musicians of the world, it is love. Clip from Moulin Rouge! Christian: Love is a many-splendored thing. Love lifts us up where we belong. All you need is love. Todd: You'd think that people would've had enough of silly love songs. Christian: [singing] I look around me and I see it isn't so. Todd: And love has so very many facets of it. Christian: Love lifts us up where we belong Todd (VO): You have songs of passion, songs of loneliness, songs of jealousy, songs of sadness and heartbreak, rage, of lust, of loss, of joy, of pain. Todd: People in love with love, people who hate love. Todd (VO): And because of this, it is one of the most difficult topics in the world to say something new about. Songwriters have explored the highest joys of love, as well as its deepest sadnesses, its most poignant ends and its bitterest heartbreaks. Todd: But there's one emotion that I have found sadly underexplored. And that emotion is... [brief shot of the word...] Meh. Songwriters like big emotions, not dull ones, but...that's a part of life. So this is my tribute to the few love songs out there about [shots of bored couples] the mundane, [cover of He's Just Not That Into You] the unromantic, the unpassionate, the dull. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you... Clip from the final scene of The Graduate, as Benjamin and Elaine go from smiling at their triumph to a look of uncertainty. Weird Al Yankovic - "Good Enough for Now" plays in the background. This serves as the interlude through the countdown Weird Al: You're sort of everything I ever wanted... Todd (VO): The Top 10 Songs About Mediocre Romance. Weird Al: You're the woman that I've always dreamed of Well not really, but you're good enough for now.
