Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Ann, that's a ferret.

For sap --

"Angel Eyes" by Jeff Healy
"The First Time" by Surface
"All the Man That I Need" by Whitney Houston
"Honey Come Back" by Glen Campbell
Just about anything by Bobby Vinton
Just about anything by Connie Francis

And I'd add, "Groovy Kind of Love" by Phil Collins, though whether that's from the song or memories I associate with it is another question.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Sappy songs:

"Two Little Feet" by Greg Brown
"Ice Cream" by Sarah McLaughlin
"Take Me In Your Arms And Love Me" by Gladys Knight and the Pips
"Arrow" by Cheryl Wheeler (not a happy sappy song, but a post-heartbreak song--so wretchedly, sorrowfully great)

and for non-romantic-love sap, I love Judy Garland's version of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" -- lovely and aching and so deeply felt.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Gladys Knight and the Pips also did a sapful medley of "Try to Remember" (the kind of September...) and "The Way We Were."

“Not dead yet!”

How about "Kissing a Fool?"

"More Than Words" Extreme

Ha! I remember having a big debate about whether this was a sappy, romantic song or a cheesy come-on song.

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

I remember having a big debate about whether this was a sappy, romantic song or a cheesy come-on song.

I'm going to go with cheesy on that one.

Finally got my royal collection together. Lots of good stuff, but here are some favorite discoveries courtesy of the Buffistas:

Oldies but goodies:
"I'm a King Bee" by The Rolling Stones
"It's Good to be King" by Tom Petty

People I like more and more the more I hear:
"A King and a Queen" by Okkervil River
"Queen of the Savages" by The Magnetic Fields
"Cooksferry Queen" by Richard Thompson

Totally new to me:
"Prince Nez" by Squirrel Nut Zippers
"The King of Carrot Flowers, Pt. 1" by Neutral Milk Hotel
"Princess Of The Universe" by Utopia

ETA: Thanks for your contributions to my continuing musical education!

Ann, that's a ferret.

I remember having a big debate about whether this was a sappy, romantic song or a cheesy come-on song.

I also remember a discussion when that one came out. We eventually compromised on, "Yes, it's either one or the other."
