Love Rears Its Ugly Head
"Love Rears Its Ugly Head" is a single released by Living Colour in 1990 from their second album Time's Up.
It is in the style of most of the group's previous singles, a rock song with touches of R&B, especially in the vocals. It is most noted for its funk-style guitar parts that permeate throughout the entire song.
Although the song did not reach the Billboard Hot 100 chart, it peaked at #8 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart in the United States and, in a heavily remixed form with re-recorded vocals and less of a rock influence, was the band's biggest hit single in the UK, peaking at #12 on the UK Singles Chart.
An unrelated song with the same title was released by Tim Christensen on his 2008 album Superior. According to Christensen: "While I sat with an acoustic guitar and was looking for lyrics to a song hook, I got to sing it. When I had to write "real" lyrics to the song, I could not find anything that could beat it. So I borrowed the title "Love Rears Its Ugly Head" but I had forgotten it was also the title of one of Living Colours' biggest hits."[1]
