Nothing to feel guilty about there. Those are great lite pop songs.
Stick in some Bread, "So Nice To Be With You" by Gallery and "Good
Morning Starshine", and you have the makings of a goosebump-inducing
holyshitihaven'theardthatsonginages comp for anybody 35-42.
Seems sacrilegious after listening to The Muffs (and gazing at those
amazing lips) all night, but I love the sappy stuff just as much as the
literally power pop.
Speaking of depressing pop songs, ever listen to Seasons in the Sun,
originally titled Le Moribond ("The Dying Man")?
And speaking of creepout songs:
"She was 15 years old
And never seen the ocean
She climbed into a van
With a vagabond
And the last thing she said
Was "I love you mom"
And a little rain
Never hurt no one"
Tom Waits - A Little Rain. Now why did THAT have to be written?
