Shut up. Just feckin' shut UP. Joel nailed yesterday's quiz so quickly that I thought I should have a little bit more for this weekend. And I'm a sap. But I don't want you to mock me.
Fair warning, people. Anyone who mocks me for this will, come Friday and the FFOT, be treated to a FO that will make Val blush. Might even grow hair on his palms. You have been warned.
And this despite the fact that I should be mocked for at least one of the songs on this list. Hell, it embarrasses even me to include it. But I must include it because I must. Because to not include it would be hypocritical in that it actually does make me cry. Even though I hate it. Because it makes me cry. For which this singer should DIE WITH FESTERING BOILS.
Where was I? Oh yeah. Next week, or sometime in the distant future when I remember to do it, I will also do a "songs that make me smile" or something like that. You know, Yin/Yang, Frick/Frack, and all that. But for now, it's songs that make me cry. And this will be short because I just thought of it and I have dinner to make. Possibly another time I will expand on the theme.
Oh, and before I forget: Julie, my buddy and lovely friend, you are disqualified from answering the last question. At least, until everyone else gets a shot at it.
1) Painted wings and giants' rings do what? [Wolfwalker: They make way for other toys]
2) She was young at heart, kind of dumb and kind of smart. Who? (DIE WITH FESTERING BOILS!) [Lisa: Honey]
3) While birds sing in a sycamore tree, what should you do? [Ricki: Dream a little dream of me; yeah, I love this one too, Ricki]
4) Mickey Mouse says it's thirteen o'clock. That's quite a shock. What am I doing? [Answer: I'm watching Scotty grow]
5) The ark started moving a drifting with the tide. Who cried while looking up the from the rocks? [Wolfwalker: The unicorns]
6) The old man walks up to the hilltop and does what? [Answer: He gives her a daisy a day]
Oh, and I if I forgot to mention it before, if you mock me, F**K YOU. Bingley, I'm look at you. Because I know these make you cry too.

moi?
Not me, old boy. Totally impervious to schmaltz, I am.
Remember, I'm the guy who lists Brian's Song as one of the top 10 funniest movies of all time.
Posted by: Mr. Bingley at March 2, 2008 06:17 PM#1 is "Give way to other toys," from "Puff the Magic dragon" -- such a depressing song that I long ago swore to never listen to it again.
#5 is "The Unicorns," from the song of the same title.
#2 sounds familiar, but I can't place it.
Posted by: wolfwalker at March 2, 2008 06:52 PM#3 - "Dream a little dream of me."
(love that song.)
And since I cry at freakin' DIAMOND commercials even while I'm cursing them for being emotionally manipulative, I can't possibly say one thing about songs making a person cry.
Posted by: ricki at March 3, 2008 05:27 AM#2 is Honey by Bobby Goldsboro, right? They planted a tree and then she died?
I teared up at "Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes" by George Jones JUST THIS MORNING, so I'll never make fun of ANYONE crying at songs, capice?
Posted by: Lisa at March 3, 2008 06:12 AMIt's okay for girls to cry.
OTOH, I was kind of looking forward to making Val blush.
Posted by: Ken S, Fifth String on the Banjo of Life at March 3, 2008 06:15 AMMy husband used to tear up at "Butterfly Kisses".
This made him angry.

Don't let him listen to "Let Them be Little".
