No. And yes. It's always sudden.

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.

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."

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I thought it was a come-on and was DEEPLY offended in the way only a teenager can be.
