Crybaby songs
Posted: Sun Aug 28, 2011 2:03 pm
Long Run's thread about annoying songs made me think of other songs that I either love or hate, and I've been having a nice time remembering 
I got me thinking of those songs I can't hear all the way through without crying.
There are two that I have never, ever listened to all the way through without becoming a bubbling wreck:
Mr Bojangles - can anyone listen to the bit where the dog up and died without getting all teary eyed?
And a Bobby Goldsboro song 'Honey' just gets to me for some reason. My kids have a great laugh because I love the song, have heard it a hundred times or more, and still have tears pouring down my face every single time before it gets to the end. It's meant to be a bit of a tearjerker, but I've heard it enough that I should be 'desensitised' by now - I don't know why it still 'gets' me every time.
