Ain't Love a Bitch
"Ain't Love a Bitch" is a song written by Gary Grainger and Rod Stewart. Stewart released it on his 1978 album ''Blondes Have More Fun'', and it was one of four songs on the album co-written by Stewart and Grainger. The song was released as a single in 1979, reaching #11 on the UK charts, and #22 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart in the United States.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.theofficialcharts.com/artist/_/rod%20stewart/ )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/blondes-have-more-fun-r19117/charts-awards/billboard-single )〕 It spent 8 weeks on the UK charts and 6 weeks on the US charts.〔 The song also reached the Top Ten in several countries, including Ireland.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.irishcharts.ie/facts/most_hits.htm )〕 ''Billboard'' magazine placed Stewart #7 on its list of the Top Single Artists of 1979 on the strength of "Ain't Love a Bitch" and its predecessor, "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?".
''Rolling Stone Magazine'' critic Janet Maslin excoriated the song as being "unexpectedly sensitive, with a soft, strum-along melody and a bunch of namby-pamby characters doo-doo-doing a background chorus while Stewart croons about old girlfriends." She further criticizes the song for taking material that could have been tough and making sound "like the 1400th cover version of 'I Left My Heart in San Francisco.'"〔 ''CD Review'' magazine commented on the references within "Ain't Love a Bitch" to Stewart's earlier song "Maggie May", describing the music as "bouncy". ''High Fidelity'' objected to the lyrics blaming women for love's problems. ''The Albany Herald'' also noted that the song is autobiographical, and incorporates elements from Stewart's "musical and personal past." ''Stereo Review'' described the song as a "repellent frat-house love song". Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic described the song as being in the same mold as "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?". Author Barry Alan Farber described the line "Ain't we all a little juvenile" as encapsulating the way people retain pieces of their adolescence into adulthood.
Stewart performed the song on Dave Allen's ''Dave Allen at Large''. A video of the song was included on the DVD included in the deluxe editions of the compilation album ''Some Guys Have All The Luck / The Definitive Rod Stewart''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/the-definitive-rod-stewart-deluxe-edition-cddvd-r1446213 )〕
