 "
Two Little Boys - Rolf Harris
Ernie the Fastest Milkman in the West - Benny Hill
Boy Named Sue - Johnny Cash

"Coward of the county- Kenny Rodgers
Or pretty much every coountry song does
"
It used to be said that if you played a country song backwards, the truck wasn't repossessed, the dog didn't die and the wife and kids came back home. |

RUNNING BEAR
On the banks of the river
Stood Runnin' Bear, young Indian brave
On the other side of the river
Stood his lovely Indian maid
Little White Dove was-a her name
Such a lovely sight to see
But their tribes fought with each other
So their love could never be
Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love big as the sky
Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love that couldn't die
He couldn't swim the raging river
'Cause the river was too wide
He couldn't reach Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight he could see her
Throwing kisses 'cross the waves
Her little heart was beating faster
Waiting there for her brave
Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love big as the sky
Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love that couldn't die
Runnin' Bear dove in the water
Little White Dove did the same
And they swam out to each other
Through the swirling stream they came
As their hands touched and their lips met
The ragin' river pulled them down
Now they'll always be together
In that happy hunting ground
Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love big as the sky
Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love that couldn't die

"Paradise by the dashboard light by Meatloaf  "
That's the first one that popped into my head - also "Objects In the Rear_iew Mirror", I cried when I saw that video 
And Eminem's "Stan". |
