Oh geez. I can’t even try. The greatest. Ever. Period.

Doo Wop
If you ever want to make yourself really sad, listen to Joni Mitchell’s cover of “Why Do Fools Fall in Love” (awful), then Diana Ross’s (worse), then James Taylor’s version of “Up on a Roof” (deadly dull), then Bruce Willis’s take on “Under the Boardwalk” (at which point, you might want to shoot yourself). Then play the originals, get happy again, and wonder why anyone ever tries to mess with perfection.

In the early 70s, the Campfire Girls (kind of a Girl Scouts knock-off) had a commercial where they used “Light My Fire” as the theme song. I guess nobody told them that the song wasn’t exactly about toasting marshmallows—unless, you know, “toasting marshmallows” is a metaphor for something else.
