There was a pop song on the radio when I was a kid that used to make me cry every time I heard it, but I've never been able to remember it at all. I'm quite sure I've heard it since without recognising it - I think it had somebody dying in it.

"Toora Loora Loora" (or however you spell it) was one of the songs I love to hear my mother sing on car trips. I also loved "There's a Long Long Trail." I was a weird kid, and always thought the "land of my dreams" was heaven and the singer was euphemistically singing about dying.

I had a music box that I actually wore out. I whined and cried about it so much that my parents bought me another one. I still have it somewhere. I think the tune was "Lichtenstein Polka."
