Songs that make you cry!

Hi all -

I have observed that many people (my sample is about 15 people in my immediate surroundings) seem to have one or two songs that make them cry. No matter what their mood or activity at the time - they hear the song and start bawling either during or after the performance.

I myself only need to hear “Nimm mich mit Kapitän auf die Reise” by Hans Albers (yes, I’m German), and I start watering up. It never fails. No other song by this or any other artist does this to me.

Is there some hyper-emotional trigger, or something? Can anybody confirm the existence of this phenomenon?

Thanks!

Oliver

It doesn’t make me actually cry, but (There will be) Peace in the Valley, as sung by Elvis, is the closest

It’s not unusual, waldenfont. Germans are well-known romantics. However, if you care to lower your tastes a bit…ok, a lot…here is a song that will make almost any man cry. Or at least cringe.
SUNG TO THE TUNE OF THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES

Come and listen to my story ‘bout a man named John.
A poor Ex-Marine with a little fraction gone-
It seems one night after beatin’ up the wife
She lopped off his dong with the swipe of a knife.

PENIS, That Is.
Clean Cut.
Missed His Nuts.

Well, the next thing you know there’s a Ginsu by his side
And Lorena’s in the car taking Willie for a ride
She soon got tired of her purple-headed friend
And tossed him out the window as she came around a bend

CURVE, That is
Tossed the Nub.
In the Shrubs.

She went to the cops and confessed to the attack
And they called out the hounds just to get his Weenie back
They sniffed and they barked and they pointed “over there!”
To John Wayne’s henry that was waving in the air.

FOUND, That Is
By a Fence.
Evidence.

Now Peter and John couldn’t stay apart too long
So a dick doc said, “Hey I can fix that dong.”
A needle and a thread is all we’re gonna need
And the whole world waited 'til they heard that Johnny peed

WHIZZED, That Is
Even Seam,
Straight Stream

Well he healed and he hardened and he took his case to court
With a half-assed lawyer 'cause his assets came up short
They cleared her of assault and acquitted him of rape
And his pecker was the only thing they didn’t show on tape

VIDEO, That Is
Unexposed.
Case Closed.

Ya’ll Sleep on Your Stomachs Now!
Ya Hear…
