Thread Name: Saccharine Overload (songs)
Subject: RE: Saccarine Overload
The worst song that The Everly Bros ever did was called Ebony Eyes. It was one of those "my girlfriend died" songs that was popular in the late 50's early 60's. Had memorable lines like
"My ebony eyes was coming to me
From out of the skies on Flight 1203"
. Anyway, he's waiting in the Terminal and the Flight's late, there's a ball of flame and it ends something like; the terrible sky
"had taken my life's most wonderful prize
My beautiful ebony eyes."
My cousin used to weep uncontrollably.
