"Love and Marriage" is the 13th track on Less Than Jake's 2010 TV/EP. The song was written by Sammy Cahn (lyrics) and Jimmy Van Heusen (music). It is published by Barton Music Corporation (ASCAP).

History[]

"Love and Marriage" was introduced by Frank Sinatra in the 1955 television production of Thornton Wilder's Our Town that aired on Producers' Showcase. Sinatra went on to record two versions of the song. The first was recorded for Capitol Records on August 15, 1955,[1] and became a major chart hit. (A competing version by Dinah Shore also achieved popularity.) The second version was recorded for Reprise Records on October 11, 1965.[2] The Capitol version would later be used as the theme song for the long-running 1987-1997 Fox TV sitcom Married... with Children.[3]

Less Than Jake version[]

Less Than Jake's version closely matches the portion of the song used during the intro for Married... with Children.

Lyrics[]

Love and marriage
love and marriage
go together like a horse and carriage
this I tell you, brother
you can't have one without the other

Love and marriage
love and marriage
it's an institute you can't disparage
ask the local gentry
and they will say it's elementary

Try and try and try and separate them
it's an illusion
try and try and try and you will only come
to this conclusion

Love and marriage
love and marriage
