DD1 came home and said she'd heard 'the most beautiful song ever' and it was...

[nearlythree]

Puff the Magic Dragon!!!!

Don't think she understood it properly.

I did try and explain that mummy cries when she hears this song.

A more accurate description would be that mummy sobs uncontrollably and has to be helped to bed.

WHOEVER THOUGHT THIS WAS A SUITABLE SONG FOR CHILDREN???? (or anyone?)

lol moondog, that is a truly miserable story to go with such a weep inducing song! Your poor sister!

Bumper,great choice.
That started off the compilation tape made for me by an old bf at the end of our doomed liaison.

What - to signal the end?

Bumperlicious - that came out as I stopped seeing my best friend from school (had made me miserable for years)... still makes me think of her

I think it was lamenting the fact that I had called time on it.

On reflection he was a twat.
Worked as a paparazzo.
Most unlikely bf for me ever.

After.

Oh dear.

Shep anyone?

Has anyone mentioned Honey by Bobby Goldsboro?

One day when I was not at home
And you were there and all alone
The angels came.....
Now my life's an empty stage
Where Honey lived and Honey played

Sorry! can't go on!

Oh and Grossajack!

Grosssajack grossajack
Is it true what mummy said
You won't come back?

Both tear-jerkers for me.

I LOVE 'Don't Speak'

What about Mike and the Mechanics 'In the Living years'
and the Carpenters (most of them really) 'Rainy days and Mondays' or 'I say goodbye to love'
music to slit your wrist by, me thinks.

Great links,I'm crying with laughter!

I will never feel the same way about those songs again! Any more?
The bit about the Volvo's air bag .... I'm going to have to watch it again.

This David Bowie song always makes me cry as I was listening to it not long after dd was born and the baby blues had just kicked in.

Will you stay in our lovers story

cause we believe in you
Soon youll grow so take a chance
With a couple of kooks
Hung up on romancing

We bought a lot of things to keep you warm and dry
And a funny old crib on which the paint wont dry
I bought you a pair of shoes
A trumpet you can blow
And a book of rules
On what to say to people when they pick on you
cause if you stay with us youre gonna be pretty kookie too

Will you stay in my lovers story
If you stay you wont be sorry
cause we believe in you
Soon youll grow so take a chance
With a couple of kooks
Hung up on romancing

And if you ever have to go to school
Remember how they messed up this old fool
Dont pick fights with the bullies or the cads
cause Im not much cop at punching

Other peoples dads
And if the homework brings you down
Then well throw it on the fire
And take the car downtown

Will you stay in our lovers story
If you stay you wo
