The one song that can move me to tears more than any other is Some Fantastic Place by Squeeze, especially when played unexpectedly on the radio.

[Tunna]

The one that really does it for me is ....Sinead O'Connor Nothing Compares 2 U... I can start listening to this OK but by the end the tears are rolling down my cheeks worst than that of Sineads in the video....

and as an answer to Cliffsdoll Grocer Jack is entitled

Excerpt From A Teenage Opera....Keith West (1969)

[brachiopod]

.....and can anyone actually sing the above without ending up singing "Do Nothing" by The Specials?

(It's the "Oh-oh no..." bit that causes me to switch songs !)
