REO Speedwagon will never be the same

I like to "Weird" Al songs as much as possible. So since college, I have believed in one golden rule of listening to the radio. Whenever the word "love" is used in a song I replace it with "hump."  It can be any version of love.. lovin'. loved, loves, etc.

For instance, as the subject line of this entry suggests, REO Speedwagon's "Keep on Lovin' You" is now 
"Keep on Humpin' You."  And not just in the title. " I don't wanna sleep, I just wanna keep on humpin' you."
Its really that easy and childish. But extremely fun.

Now just take that magic formula and apply it to timeless classics ( and complete garbage) such as:
Whitney Houston (and Dolly Parton) " I Will Always Hump You"
Righteous Brothers, " You've Lost That Humping Feeling"
Percy Sledge, "When a Man Humps a Woman"

One rule: This switching of the words only works when love is used as a verb. If it is used as a noun (ex. Bad Company's "Feel Like Makin' Love") it doesn't work. So not only is this game fun, but also educational.

And be consistent. If you're gonna sing it, sing it so much that other's can no longer enjoy the song without hearing your version.
