Rules Of The Game #15: Grown-ups Make Puppy Love

Latest column: why teens sing adult lyrics: a theory (which is that it's the other way around); also, Britney as the little engine that couldn't.

The Rules Of The Game #15: Grown-ups Make Puppy Love

Once again they botched the italics. And I just spent five minutes debating with myself as to whether it should be "Grown-ups" or "Grown-Ups." (Oh, and I know that JoJo is actually 16 not 15, but she was 15 when her second album was recorded and released, and I couldn't be bothered to explain this.)

So, any opinion as to why love and romance lyrics overwhelmingly dominate pop music?

EDIT: Here are links to all but three of my other Rules Of The Game columns (LVW's search results for "Rules of the Game"). Links for the other three (which for some reason didn't get "Rules Of The Game" in their titles), are here: #4, #5, and #8.

UPDATE: I've got all the links here now:

10 months later I realize I said a falsehood: Miley Cyrus co-wrote a whole lot more than just "See Me Again." (Was a cowriter on most of Disk 2 of Hannah Montana/Meet Miley Cyrus; don't know about the new one, which just leaked yesterday, though my second-favorite song on it was written in 1979 by Robert Hazard and was covered by Cyndi Lauper several years later.)
