Time Life: Romancing the 70’s

I am not embarrassed.  I know every song that Tony Orlando has mentioned/played thus far.  And I like it.  What does scare me is that I have barely moved from this spot today and apparently, I am a little too lazy to pick up the remote to change the channel.  I don’t really need to order this, I probably already have these on a tape or CD somewhere.

Romancing the 70s 18 CD Super Set

Either that, or Mom has it on what I like to call her “suicide” CD since they are all depressing songs of love lost…Seriously, every time she has it on in her car, I want to veer into oncoming traffic.

It is kind of oogy that they have “You Light Up My Life” on a romance CD since it’s about her devotion to God.  Whatever floats your boat…

OOo!  They just played the “But WAIT, there’s MORE” line!

I need to understand how “Sad Eyes” is a love song?  It’s about a man cheating on his wife/girlfriend while she’s out of town & is sending his mistress off:

Looks like it's over, you knew I couldn't stay
She's comin' home today
We had a good thing, I'll miss your sweet love
Why must you look at me that way
It's over

Sad eyes, turn the other way
I don't wanna see you cry
Sad eyes, you knew there'd come a day
When we would have to say 'goodbye'

“Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song;” “Alone Again, Naturally;”Don’t it Make My Brown Eyes Blue;” “Just When I Needed You Most";” and my favorite, about a guy who’s friend just died, “Seasons in the Sun” ~ ah, nothing says romance like a terminal case of cancer!
