I catch that and a few others on the 70s XM channel and man they are some suicidal songs. Still sound good but real downers.

"Seasons In The Sun", Terry Jacks

http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=2112

Originally "Le Moribond" ("The Dying Man"), this was written and performed in French by the Belgian poet-composer Jacques Brel in 1961. The American poet Rod McKuen translated the lyrics to English, and in 1964 The Kingston Trio released the first English-language version of the song. This is the version Terry Jacks heard, which became the basis for his rendition.

In a Songfacts interview with Terry Jacks, he said that after his version was released, he had dinner in Brussels with Jacques Brel, who told him about writing the song. "It was about an old man who was dying of a broken heart because his best friend was screwing his wife," Jacks said. "He wrote this in a whorehouse in Tangiers, and the words were quite different. The song originally he used to do on stage and it was in a march form, like, 'Bom ba DUM, bom ba DUM.' Quite a different thing. This old man was dying of a broken heart and he was saying goodbye to his priest and his best friend and his wife, who cheated on him. Her name was Francoise, and it went, 'Adieu, Francoise, my trusted wife, without you I'd have had a lonely life. You cheated lots of times but then I forgave you in the end, though your lover was my friend.'"
The original version by Jacques Brel is rather macabre, but Jacks had an earnest inspiration for his reworking of the song: his good friend developed leukemia, and was given just six months to live. "He was gone in four months," Jacks told us. "He was a very good friend of mine, one of my best friends, and he said I was the first one that he told. I remembered this song of an old man dying of a broken heart, and I liked some of the melody and there was something there. I rewrote the song about him."

A bunch of doo-wop and early 60s pop because a job I once had played Oldies 104.3 all day. Example: "Lightning Strikes Again."

Unrelated: The Little River Band! Fabulously awful but fun to sing to.

St. Elmo's Fire

I mean with a quality chorus like:

I can see a new horizon underneath the blazing sky
I'll be where the eagle's flying higher and higher
Gonna be your man in motion
All I need is a pair of wheels
Take me where the future's lying St. Elmo's fire

(I actually like this song, too).

I guess my official entry would be Saturday Night by The Bay City Rollers

Nothing to be embarrassed about. That's a great song. "Rock and Roll Love Letter" is pretty great too.

As an interwebz pal, I should like to just briefly mention that I believe you are sorely in need of a new gimmick or, perhaps, don't have a gimmick for a little while.

IMO it's not remotely a 'bad' song but, that said, I don't typically run around mentioning that I find favor with Hanson's "Where's The Love" ... I particularly like that they wrote it, they played it, they sang it, it's clean (both musically and lyrically), and it's not over-engineered crap.
