Too many teardrops for one heart to carry on
You're way on top now, since you left me
You're always laughin', way down at me
But watch out now, I'm gonna get there
We'll be together, for just a little while
And then I'm gonna put you, way down here
And you'll start cryin', ninety-six tears
Cry, Cry
Before The Artist Formerly Known As Prince, there was ?. Now we hear that ?'s house burned down and he had no insurance. The stories of the fire refer to the lead singer of 1960's one hit wonders ? & the Mysterians as Question Mark. WHAT? Anyway, why didn't he have any insurance? Great song, though - simple and catchy beyond belief, reaching #1 in the fall of 1966. It seems there will be benefits galore to help our boy out, so it's all good. But what's up with the no insurance, dude?
AMG song review by Mark Deming:
America in the mid-'60s was a truly grand time and place to be alive; where else could five greasy-looking teenagers who sounded like they were still learning their instruments cut a record in someone's living room and not only see it win nationwide release, but hit number one on the Billboard singles charts? Rock & roll doesn't come much more gloriously dumb than "96 Tears"...complete review
