The Most Schmaltzy Songs You Ever Heard

On the Wings of Love

Summer of 48 or summink.

Also Bobby Goldsboro I think

The song itself is ludicrous enough, but it’s really the video that makes Hammerfall’s Glory to the Brave so dear to my heart. I dare you to watch the whole thing without cracking up. I double doggy dare you.
There is not a single musical, lyrical nor visual cliché missing. It’s just… perfect.

Softly Whispering I Love You by The English Congregation.

Candle in the Wind.

The one Elton sang at Dianas funeral.

::vomits copiously::

French songs count too, huh? Okay, then Edith Piaf and Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien - “Aujourd’hui, ca commence avec toi!”

I’ve mainly been lurking lately, but I just HAD to throw this one in…Check out Scott Walkers “Montague Terrace In Blue” on youtube, and be sure to have a bucket handy. Happy New Year!:slight_smile:

Of course ALL songs you think are schmultzy count.

French songs count double because there are not good French songs besides “Dominique.” And that was Belgium French :smiley:

Schmaltzy and spoken - a double whammy:

Mike Douglas - The Men in my Little Girl’s Life.

Hee - I read the second one as being by Eric Cartman. Kind of changes things totally. I don’t think he does schmaltz.

My contribution: Rose, by Johnny Cash.

Actually, I like Beaker’s rendition of the song, other versions are far too saccharine/schmaltzy

Taylor Swift- Romeo & Juliet.

I hate this song! I think she is a cute kid and she can sing, but come on! The local stations seem to have the thing on repeat which does not help.

Dammit, man! I was SURE I was going to be the first person to post that!

Pretty much anything that can be described as a ‘Power Ballad’ is pretty damn schamltzy.

Babe

Keep on Loving You

Oh Sherri

I Can’t Fight This Feeling Anymore

Beth

That didn’t have my favorite verse. It began, “Hello Daddy, this is Chuck.”

That was primo material in sixth grade.

“I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus”
Nuff said

I still don’t think any general season song can beat some of the Christmas songs going around, especially country-western or Christian-contemporary Christmas songs.

The Christmas Shoes
The Gift
A Baby Changes Everything
Dear Mr. Jesus

I could go on…

Sid Vicious?

How much is that doggy in the window?

Woof fucking woof
