Corny songs that actually move you

'say it ain't so joe'

Yes yes yes!! One of the great over-the-top ballads. Murray Head can sing, fer sure.

St Elmo's Fire

U2 - All I Want Is You

Its corniness is enhanced but it being used to compliment what is supposed to be THE MOST EMOTIONAL part of Reality Bites. But I love it. The guitar is wonderful and an overwrought Bono vocal delivery actually works for me for a change.

Some folks up in here have an odd definition of “corny”!

Also, this is gr8;

I was gonna start a thread on the most melodramatic pop songs. "Total Eclipse of the Heart" being the obvious champ. My #2 would be "Making Love Out of Nothing At All" , Air Supply

So far you're just starting a Jim Steinman thread.

I can't even remember how the verses go in St Elmo's Fire (brat pack not eno)

Growin' up you don't see the writing on the wall
Passin' by, movin' straight ahead you knew it all
But maybe sometime if you feel the pain,
You'll find you're all alone everything has changed

I cant f/w Tim Tebows Fire tho

still can't find the melody in my head and I am not looking that song up no offense

here goes...

"Slide" by the Goo Goo Dolls

I make myself sick.
