Well, this week's choic isn't really a surprise when I think about it, but I never would have come up with it since it's really old and by an artist who has been out of the limelight for many years. Good song, and pretty sad I guess. Not Old Yeller sad, but sad.

'That's the Way I've Always Heard It Should Be' - Carly Simon (1971)

The Breakdown: Marriage is inevitably dismal in this evocative pop hit, which was recorded a year before Simon's ill-fated marriage to James Taylor.

The Waterworks: "Their children hate them for the things they're not/They hate themselves for what they are."

Casualty Count: All marriages, one American dream.

Isn't this fun?
