Today, we’re asked to supply a "strange love song," and this one is not just strange, it’s downright creepy. "Imaginary Lover" is from Atlanta Rhythm Section’s 1978 album Champagne Jam. It reached #7 in the US, #9 in Canada, and #49 in Australia. What that says about us as a society, I don’t know… Nancy Sinatra covered it on her 1998 album Sheet Music.

I love this song but truly never listened to the lyrics but, I don;t care, I still love it. I listened to nancy’s version but I prefer the original. Sweet Caroline now makes me feel creeped out when Neil Diamond stated he wrote it with Caroline Kennedy in mind. Ick.

It’s a great song, with a good groove, and if you’re like me and don’t listen to the lyrics all the time, there’s nothing to worry about.

Nancy does a good job, I think. This reminds me of Howard on Big Bang Theory and the way he would use characters from the video games they play.

I like Nancy’s version of it better than ARS’s, to be honest…

I don’t know that I ever paid much attention to the lyrics, but that’s not unusual for me. Still it’s a great song. Interesting to hear Nancy doing her version.

I like Nancy’s version, mostly because I like Nancy. I wonder how much airplay it would have gotten if the lyrics had been more innocuous.

It’s a great song, but there are those who find the lyrics a little creepy. Personally, I don’t care…
