The Critters...

It will always make me mist up, and can sometimes even move me to tears or leave me sobbing.

It is a very good song and sung by two beautiful people.

The OP asked for sappy or silly songs, and "Fernando" is neither of those things.

Would be nice to play at the World Series game for the late great Fernando Venezuela. Birthday on November 1. Corny idea, but such a great song on its own.

Gonna Buy Me A Dog was funny.

I have a cat named Henry, so I sing it to him in my best Peter Noonan voice. It’s a fun song to sing. And I don’t know why, but anytime I can’t find him he’ll come out immediately when I break into song.

This one:

That's cute how Henry the cat comes when you sing it.

at the roller skating parties we had in grade school.

Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs

Lobo had a great voice.

Both Brittney Spear's version
and Richard Thompson's version.

who knew there was ONE guy who could sing that?

but not his.

Jack was a wacko

I remember Manfred Mann's Mighty Quinn though!

bit of trivia - the guy on the left is Paul McCartney's brother

I didn't realize Paul McCartney had a brother in showbusiness.

By Paul McCartney and Wings.

Although “Share The Land” comes close.

I know, I know. It’s the bubbliest of bubble gum songs. But I love the sheer joyous exuberance of the song. Never get tired of it.

Hanson gets a bad rap because they were just kids.

But they stayed together and were actually a pretty good mature adult band.

That song in particular is ear candy but actually has a pretty mature theme about prioritizing a few deep relationships over the shallow fleeting ones. It is actually pretty freaking astute for a group of minors.

I love this version of it that keeps the joyfulness while really bringing out the underappreciated musicality and theme. It made me see the band in a whole new light

I saw their tour schedule at the end of the video. They were at The Croc in Seattle in 2019. If I had only known...

It always gives me a lift.

I love that lead singer. Great voice with an infectious charm.

It is hard not to smile.

Glad you liked it. I would love to take credit for it but I only "discovered" it because someone posted it here years ago.

Makes me laugh.

Already listed and The Name Game

It brings back so many wonderful memories of my childhood.

All out of Love
Making Love Out of Nothing at All
Lost in Love

I love that song!

Cranked up really loud.

And another Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs - Hey There, Little Red Riding Hood.

It's Randi Rhodes fault.
The song makes me giggle.

Once upon a time Randi played it at the beginning of each show.

Here's the best version.
