As a pre-schooler, I noticed, like mike that all adult songs seemed to be about love. I couldn't figure that out. In the 1960s, when anti-war songs were being played about revolution and war and not love, it was noticeable. Note: Eve of Destruction, Buffy Ste. Marie's "Universal Soldier" and so on.

But in the 1950s, every song seemed to be about love. Here's one I remember hearing on the a.m. radio. My mom is cooking or doing dishes and I'm playing with paper dolls.
