Actually a very sad story.

Maybe you just need something to lift your mood, Paul.

I just need to figure out how to hook it into my sisters speakers so it can't be turned off or down -- The perfect holiday gift from a brother who cares....

I'm listening now, but couldn't take 12 hours worth. It's right up there with It's a Small World...

The life of the actual Singing Nun, Jeanine Deckers, is both lurid and sad, ending in a suicide pact in the mid-80s. Which is where 12 hours of that song will lead you.

A local radio station changed formats and during the down-time played "Man of Constant Sorrow" by the Soggy Bottom Boys 24/7 for 2 weeks. It was surreal.

"Domenique" and "It's A Small World" are two examples of songs that originated out of a deep inner hatred of all mankind.
There is a third...
When I was growing up, all the neighborhood girls took up a song so nauseatingly repulsive, that entire local species went extinct. (Most of the males killed themselves.)
The original lyrics went:
Mein Vater war ein Wandersmann
Und mir steckt's auch im Blut
D'rum wand're ich froh so lang ich kann
Und schwenke meinen Hut
Faleri falera faleri falera ha ha ha ha ha ha
Faleri falera
Und schwenke meinen Hut
This was the German Ultimate Weapon. It needed to be translated:
I love to go a-wandering,
Along the mountain track,
(To translate more is exceedingly dangerous...)
Every time one of those neighborhood she-hounds started to summon this up, I resisted the urge to fill a knapsack with rocks, bind her to it, and toss her off a cliff.
The ultimate insult was- _I_ was the only one with a knapsack. _I_ was the only one who went hiking in the hills. _I_ was the only one who saw a cow explode. (Also, _I_ was the one who collected fossils large enough to be mistaken for rocks.)
And _they_ knew it.

I read a Rolling Stone interview that suggested that that song was responsible for Mumford and Sons.

Crimson and Clover when i was in junior high drove me nuts at dances. The girls played that 45 over and over and over.

"You Light Up My Life" by Debbie Boone used to affect me like fingernails on a chalkboard until I came across this parody video-

Now every time I hear "You Light Up My Life" that video is the image I see in my head while the song plays and it always brings a smile to my face.
