Warum müssen so viele "only ones" besungen werden?

Why are there so many "only ones" to be sung about?

Cliche. People son't want to come up with anything unique. Use what has been proven popular.

Hm... First, it's a popular phrase. Second, it's kitschy, semi-romantic stuff. You can feel like "Oh, I'm special!". Imagine yourself as being really important. And third, regard it as a manifestation of the zeitgeisty narcissm that is common these days. "Three or four? A mass? No, bring me the lighthouse! Bring me the ONE! The ONE for all eternity!" (Which then only lasts a couple of weeks or months...)
...It's more caressing to be addressed directly and to receive the impression "nobody else, but you I mean!".

This is pretty much what I said except for the third point and I agree with it.

Wouldn't mind for a song with that topic here and there, but meanwhile it already seems like every active artist in the world has a song named with that title.

This is such a weird LJ! No one can post here but you and your hot girlfriend. But you both write in this horrible, broken English when you are both Russian. Why?

[matrixmann]

Er, carefully asking: Did you eat something strange?
I think there's something that I missed in between.
I'm nobody's boyfriend out here, neither so am I Russian. When I create the impression that I am, I'll take it as a compliment 'cause I'm always happy if people guess totally the wrong personal details about me. Makes peace and quiet instead of trouble be more the state of things for me.
Nobody cares too much about me - that's something I surely wouldn't have if hanging around in the German internet communities...

Btw, since when can nobody write here? The only thing that's switched on is those spam prevention questions for the obvious reasons. Is there something currently broken with them?
'Cause when, then I think about other options than that.
I really don't know anything like that.

Did you eat something strange?

I did! I ate meat for the first time in a month.

By "girlfriend," I was referring to the cute Russian girl who comments to you so much.

You don't seem German. I have traveled a lot in Germany, was born in West Berlin, my mother is German, and I lived in Austria. Germans tend to speak English very well. Russians tend to not speak English so well.

I have never gotten spam or unwanted comments in LJ. So, I don't use the 'captcha' thing.

Meat doesn't make anyone assume nonsense that has never been said anywhere and which the odds speak against.
That's why I asked.

Wrote a German question in the entry above - got several German tags among mine - absolutely none in Russian.
So what makes on think I'm Russian? It makes no sense.

Born in West Berlin - so actually you should know the famous idiom, that way people talk like in Berlin. Try to imagine this a bit in English and then you'll maybe get out the way I speak it. I don't know what to say. Responses to it more often sound like that it's quite good, well, maybe people say that they don't notice right through the style to write that I'm actually not a native speakter of English.
Otherwise I actually place value on correct speach and correct spelling, if this doesn't ever strike anyone in the eye. In all languages that I speak or have knowledge about!
I know there aren't too many folks out there who act like that.

Germans and speaking English well? Now that's a joke, really...
Even my school time is not too long ago and during that it's only been a few people over all the time who were good in the English classes. And it's been so in all other school classes too.
Don't even ask about the second foreign language that one was taught in... It surely was even worse there.

Let me say it that way: I already had someone molesting me, as well as I tend to be a character that always finds his one troll who steps on his nerves.
As I can't be bothered to spend time with this, that's why put up the barrier before it.
