69 Love Songs is the sixth studio album by American indie rock band The Magnetic Fields, released on September 7, 1999.Band leader Stephin Merritt originally conceived the album as musical revue featuring one hundred songs to be performed by four drag queens. Whoever's act the audience liked the most would be paid. However, he quickly realized that the task as he saw it was impossible, so he shortened the number to sixty nine and decided to record the whole thing with his own band.Despite its monster length and overwhelming number of different musical styles present, it was the album that brought the band into the mainstream for the first time. It received critical acclaim (placing in the top five of most major lists of the best albums of the year) and was a surprise commercial hit. The song "The Book of Love" was Covered Up by Peter Gabriel in 2010 and gave him his first hit in nearly ten years.Merritt insists that despite the title, the album is not actually about love, but the nature of love songs themselves. Although more than a number of listeners will tell you they work both ways. | |

| 69 Love Songs (Music) / int_275d19ee | comment |
Birds of a Feather: "Papa Was A Rodeo" has the singer spend the first two verses rattling off his issues with commitment and monogamy to discourage his one-night-stand from thinking this will be more than that. It then flashes to "55 years later/We've had the romance of a century..." | |

Animal Metaphor | |
| 69 Love Songs (Music) / int_51df5ca1 | comment |
Animal Metaphor: Multiple tracks invoke animals as symbolism: "Boa Constrictor" equates the feeling of love to the experience of being asphyxiated by the titular species of snake. The narrator of "A Chicken with Its Head Cut Off" compares himself to such, using the frenzied state still-living decapitated chickens can enter as an analogue for constant infatuation. "Fido, Your Leash Is Too Long" takes imagery of pet dogs and ironically alludes to the Stock Animal Name Fido's association with loyalty to rebuke an unfaithful lover. "Let's Pretend We're Bunny Rabbits" refers to rabbits' association with sex and fertility, the viewpoint character imploring his loved one to "do it all day long". | |

Mood Whiplash: The numerous songs with different subject matters and different genres will undoubtedly lead to this. The eerie ambient track "Love in the Shadows" is placed between the psychedelic pop-influenced "The Death Of Ferdinand De Saussure" and the country rock "Bitter Tears". | |

Electronic Speech Impediment: Used on Merrit's vocals in "I Shatter" to convey that the relationship he was so meaningful it was almost automatous. | |

Shout-Out | |
| 69 Love Songs (Music) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: "My Only Friend" is a tribute to Billie Holiday. "Acoustic Guitar" name-drops Steve Earle, Charo and Gwar as examples of musicians who wouldn't play the titular instrument as gently as the singer does. "The Death of Ferdinand de Saussure" namedrops not only the titular linguist but also Holland-Dozier-Holland as a counterpoint to de Saussure's claim that language can't describe love. | |

I Will Wait for You: Defied in "Abigail, Belle of Kilronan" with the narrator explicitly begging his girlfriend not to wait for him to come home from the war. | |

Sex for Services: It appears the only reason the narrator's love interest sleeps with him in "The Luckiest Guy on the Lower East Side" is because he has a car and she needs to get around the city. | |

Limited Lyrics Song: Both "Experimental Music Love" and "Punk Rock Love". You literally just read all the lyrics to both. Many of the shorter songs only have one short verse, such as "Roses" and "How Fucking Romantic". | |

"Fido, Your Leash Is Too Long" takes imagery of pet dogs and ironically alludes to the Stock Animal Name Fido's association with loyalty to rebuke an unfaithful lover. | |
