"You Are My Sunshine" tops the list. It so incredibly sad... even thinking about it to type this comment is really difficult. Like, hide-the-razor-because-the-cutting-will-start-again difficult. I have no idea why.
e.g. I think pg mentioned being jealous of rtm when he got arrested because rtm had figured a way out of the PhD program without having to quit!
It's not even sad, really? But it just hits so hard.
It's a sad song that everyone seems to think is a happy song. It matches Louisiana well.
Me, too, but in my case I do know why - when my son was born (2 months premature), we had a lot of health scares with him and my wife insisted on singing that song to him over and over again.
