Sentimental song, sentimental melody...

"My Baby Takes the Morning Train" - Pamela Stephenson and Rowan Atkinson did a very funny skit on this soppy song. I think it was in Not the 9 o'clock News.

Oh yes Tiny Tim ! The lyrics to Honey are dreadful. It's as though they thought of any word that rhymed and fitted it in and.....'see the tree how big it's grown, but friends it hasn't been too long, it wasn't big'

Oh heavens, I had forgotten him!

Oh, he just reminded me of Ken Dodd! Didn't he do an appalling song about Diddy men or something?

And - 'Shut Uppa your Face'!

jane I agree with all your choices, yeugh! Also yours Anaalso hilda and Holly hmmmn , some Elvis I suppose, but not all his records surely?
Two little Boys and Grandad have to be the worst ever.Along with Honey.
Wasn't there an awful Grandma song as well?Yes, the something stupid song is actually quite a nice song but made creepy by the father/daughter combo.I never like I Got You Babe either, even at the time it came out.
There was also a truly awful record called Leader Of The Gang [sung badly by a woman in the 60's] not to mention Tiptoe Through The Tulips by a big guy with a falsetto voice.

I'm so relieved that there are other Elvis haters out there. I once dumped a really nice boyfriend because I couldn't cope with another Elvis song. Ever.

Somethin' Stupid by the Sinatras - mainly because it seemed so wrong to me that it was father and daughter, very uncool and a bit odd!

I didn't know that Elegran I'm not a fan of C&W at all but that song was all over the radio stations at the time wasn't it.

Grannyknot - the song you quoted was the first one that popped into my head when I saw the thread title!

The Paul and Paula song was 'Hey Paul' - he was a nice bloke - happily weighed in carrying amplifiers and so on. She was a Texan racist...

I'd forgotten about that tour.

Oh yes - Seasons in the Sun - I love the original Brel song 'Le Moribond', but that just trivialises it...

For me - anything by Presley in any mode at all...

Holly - particularly as Tammy Wynette has since revealed that her man was hitting her.

This reminds me of that song "Won't you please play a song, a sentimental song, for my sentimental friend over there ..."

Grumppa Elvis's voice was made for ballads!

I never liked Ruby Don't Take Your Love to Town.

wasn't it sung by paul and paula?

Can't stand The Birdie Song, Lily the Pink, The Music Man,

Or was it "Hey, Paul" ? Anyway, too sickly sweet. Can't remember who sang it.

" Hey, Paula" ----I think it was called.

The one that the Spice Girls did - was it called 'Mama'? Something like that - too cheesy for words.

Stand By Your Man by Tammy Wynette - I can't even think of sufficient words to describe how nauseating I find that 'song'!

Nearly everything by Elvis in crooning as opposed to rock'n'roll mode.

Yes! I always did...

Oh yes, I see what you mean! I agree. But at least it gives everyone a chance to express themselves - or will it be War?

Defend your choice, people! Stand up and be counted, and admit to hating Two Little Boys!

I think we may be in danger of repeating some of those well-loved songs which make some folk cry on another thread....

OK, I'll come out and say that 'Seasons in the Sun' makes me roll my eyes, and 'There's no one quite like Grandma' - YUK!
