    I was just going to mention that one. Also OP have a look at parody songs such as "Weird Al" Yankovic's parodies. A lot of them aren't about love.

    Here's some more:

    Ke$ha - We R Who We R, Blow
    David Guetta ft Kid Cudi - Memories (I don't think this song's about love, I just had a look at the lyrics)
    Kaiser Chiefs - I Predict A Riot
    Take That - Kidz
    Michael Jackson - Man In The Mirror, Earth Song, They Don't Really Care About Us
    All-American Rejects - Real World, Gives You Hell
    Christina Aguilera - Little Dreamer
    Madonna - I Love New York, Vogue, Music, American Life
    Heidi Montag - Superficial :o
    Paradiso Girls - Patron Tequila
    Girlicious - 2 In The Morning, Like Me (I think it's about a person imitating someone else)

    That's about a disturbed stalker who thinks he's in
    love with the woman in the song, though folk usually
    misinterprete it as a love song.

    sparks [if anybody knows of them] have 100's of songs and only 2/3 of them are about love. which is quite unusual!

    Great band. Listen to tracks like 'Tsui Hark', 'In The Future' and 'Roger' for the 1/3...

    Also

    Most songs by The Prodigy, some Chemical Brothers :cool:

    Kraftwerk - songs about robots, radio-waves and railways. I'm not sure they did 'love', unless it involved a computer.

    Football-related songs such as Ant and Dec's Were On The Ball, Shakira's Waka Waka (This Time For Africa) and K'nann's Wavin' Flag (the latter two from the 2010 World Cup)
    Crystal Castles - Vanished
    Dizzee Rascal - Bonkers, Holiday
    Dionne Bromfield - Spinning for 2012 (ft Tinchy Stryder)

    Also here's a thread I set up ages ago. It's about songs about money: http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1248096

    I think a more interesting thread would have been songs not about love or sex

    Kate Bush- Heads We're Dancing, which is about how she dances with a man one night and the next day she realises that man was Hitler.

    As someone has already said Ms Bush has a plethora of non-love orientated songs.

    Isn't there a verse in "Dreadlock Holiday" where a woman
    comes on to the singer? ;)

    She offers him drugs in a bar. Hardly a come-on - although these days, who knows? ;)
