What Songs Would You Retire?
Should "American Pie" be put out to pasture? Has John Lennon's "Imagine" been imagined one too many times? What songs would you retire?
If I hear that song one more time!
I was at a restaurant recently when "Cats In The Cradle," a mid-'70s song by Harry Chapin, came on. It's the one about a dad too busy for his son, and ends with the son growing up to be too busy for his dad. Anyway, the thought hit me, "Do I really ever have to hear this song again?" It's a well-crafted tune, but please: can't we just retire it?!
And so a show is born. On this edition of All Songs Considered, "Hallelujah! The Songs We Should Retire."

I have to agree--I could definitely do without "Freebird:" listening to it makes me feel seasick--probably those extreme melody dips. Also that song by Bobby Goldsboro--sorry, I forgot the title, but I can hear that tune in my head, **bleep** it!--the tune's actually ok, but the lyrics are so sappy. Another no-go: "Me and Mrs. Jones." Bleah.
