    Bobby Darin's "artificial flowers" must rank as one of the most upbeat death ballads ever. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDK_R9JVQgc

    Artificial flowers...that is a joy to listen to. He's so springy and happy when singing of despair and tears. Brilliant.

    Thanks Harebell, I did not know that existed. I'm happier now.

    2. ps you'd love Tom Reynolds book " I hate myself and want to die" It's got a description of 52 of the most depressing songs in N America.

    For the more murderous maudlin types.

    I love Miller's Caves for it's simplicity and unembarrassed redneckery
