Sad Songs and Waltzes

Band: Cake
Album: Fashion Nugget
Song: Sad Songs and Waltzes
Lyrics: I'm writing a song all about you.
A true song as real as my tears.
But you've no need to fear it
Cause no one will hear it.
Sad songs and waltzes aren't selling this year.

Ill tell all about how you cheated.
Id like for the whole world to hear.
Id like to get even
With you cause you're leaving.
But sad songs and waltzes aren't selling this year.

Its a good thing that I'm not a star.
You don't know how lucky you are.
Though my record may say it,
No one will play it.
Sad songs and waltzes aren't selling this year.

Its a good thing that I'm not a star.
You don't know how lucky you are.

Though my record may say it,
No one will play it.
Sad songs and waltzes aren't selling this year.

How, how is this better than Willie? Have you listened to Willie? I like Cake, no question about that.  But Willie takes the cake.

[Swordmaster10]

It's better to some because of the different instrumentals. I like this version better and I've heard the wille version.

[beachballsify]

Actually while it's done in a sad sort of key the lyrics are pretty funny I think, sort of a melancholic comedy.

lol the first 15 seconds of this song remind me of epona from The legend of zelda ocarina of time :)

[AshesOfGlass]

heh, makes me think of someone, a bad bad person... ;-;

[WanderlustX2]

Great cover! I love the original and the cover. It sold me.

my grandfather is a country singer and i cry whenever i hear this song because its like the music he plays

@bobmama1234 um... listen to A LOT of the rest of their stuff, and then listen to A LOT of other music. You will find that Cake writes about a lot more than love and lost love. You will also find that A LOT of music in the world is about love and lost love. Other songs by Cake: Nugget, Satan is My Motor, Race Car Ya Yas, The Distance, and MANY MANY MORE. I don't mean to lecture, but it's a common trend in music, as it has been since popular music began, to sing about love and the like.

NO Willie. I'd rather have Cake.

[HoZzIe27]

@animerox1341 yeah lol. It kinda sounds a bit pathetic... in a good sort of way :D

[videosplzzz]

@hyrohero1 My thoughts exactly!

[ratrat222]

@monstermar24 No one is claiming it is better. It is purely taste. I, honestly, can't stand mainstream country. I like the lyrics, and this is a nice alternative to country, in my opinion.

[CantStopDancinMan]

I love Willie, but this is better than the original.

@bobmama1234 Look at the large majority of popular songs, they are all like that. Songs about love are the easiest to write because love is a common theme that everyone understands. Love lifts everyone up and shoots everyone down.
