Killing Me Softly- Roberta Flack

If I sang karaoke, which I do not, I wouldn't be able to make it through Landslide without crying.

Not to get too religious on ya, but... Handel's Messiah: "If God Be For Us Who Can Be against Us."

Ruby and D-I-V-O-R-C-E by Tammy Wynette

Killing Me Softly is about watching a Don McLean concert and relating to the lyrics in his songs.

That one gets me, too, although it's the Joan Baez version.

County-style sad song - "You picked a Fine Time to Leave me, Lucille"

:sing:You picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel, 400 children and a cop in the field

Ha! Maybe we need a thread for misunderstood song lyrics.

Old Shep-Elvis

Too many memories in this one, humbles and makes one think...but many more too. I hope you dance, LeeAnn Womack

Thanks a lot, the both of you... Now that song will not leave my mind for the three-day drive back to Michigan. The "loose wheel" version.

Just as a bit of trivia. It has been said the song In A Godda Divita, as some mentioned here, was actually supposed to be "In the Garden of Eden". However, he could not pronounce it with his accent properly and the producer liked it better so they kept it. The rest is history. :)

Not so much his accent, he was from Omaha, grew up in the Rocky Mountains and later San Diego, but more how drunk he was and slurring his words.

You picked a fine time to leave me, loose wheel
With four old bald tires, you were such a good deal
I've had some clunkers, some really bad junkers
But you were just a great steal
You picked a fine time to leave me, loose wheel

Just sayin'...
