Okay, so this post is not about movies, but I thought it would be fun to explore a few love songs for librarians for Valentine’s Day. Enjoy!
“Heaven Sent” by INXS (1992):
Tuesday she works
In the library uptown
Some useful knowledge
Can always be found
Don’t burn the library
Till you’ve read all the books
Sometimes in life
You get a second look
“Karen” by The Go-Betweens (1978):
This very special girl
And she works in a library, yeah
Standing there behind the counter
Willing to help
With all the problems that I encounter
“Lisa Librarian” by Velocity Girl (1993):
I want to visit you at work
it is all quiet
it is so quiet at work
“Love in the Library” by Jimmy Buffet (1994):
Love in the library
Quiet and cool
Love in the library
There are no rules
“At the Library” by Green Day (1991):
What is it that drives me mad
Girls like you that I never had
What is it about you that I adore?
“The Librarian” by Hefner (1998):
He started to woo her in the most peculiar way
The librarian’s dress was a fawner shade of grey
The books he was to borrow he would surely never read
They had an intellectual calibre he hoped that she would see
“Librarian” by My Morning Jacket (2008):
Simple little bookworm buried underneath
Is the sexiest librarian
Take off those glasses and let down your hair for me
And, of course…
“Marian the Librarian” from The Music Man (1962 and 2003 films):
For the civilized world accepts as unforgivable sin
Any talking out loud with any librarian
Such as Marian…
Madam Librarian
