A Song I discovered in the past few months is Skeeter Davis' "The End of the World". Even though I don't think it's the end of the world, it's a catchy song.
[quote] They didn't release you 'cause you're better, Daisy, they just gave up. You call this a life, hmm? Taking Daddy's money, buying your dollies and your knick-knacks. And eating his fucking chicken, fattening up like a prize fucking heifer? You changed the scenery, but not the fucking situation - and the warden makes house calls. And everybody knows. Everybody knows. That he fucks you. What they don't know... is that you like it.

No shade for real, OP, but you must be quite young. That song was everywhere during the 60s-early 80s.
Nevertheless, I am glad you discovered it, because it's a great song--lyrics, music, and performance. It deserves to stay alive in our collective musical hearts.

OP, I wouldn't call it 'catchy' -- it's a very melancholy song. "Catchy"? That's Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows by Leslie Gore.

OMG. Memories of being nine or ten and playing this song endlessly. Something about her voice just moves me. Thanks OP.
