As I was listening to some of the Perry Como songs on my computer, I was struck by this question, "Why do some songs, 'though very sad, give us pleasure?" This one does me.
Before I give some of my possible answers, I'd like to hear your answers, please.

This one gets to me for many reasons!
Wow. I had to wait for the credits to be sure it was Louis Armstrong singing. I've never heard such a sensitive presentation from him. He was Huuuge, and this makes him huuuger in my ears.

Thanks.
Great song. Sean Connery is my favourite James Bond, but On Her Majesty's Secret Service is my favourite James Bond film.

Sean Connery is the Daddy of Bonds I agree. OHMSS probably runs Goldfinger a close second. Great films
In best order
Dr No Thunderball Goldfinger From Russia With Love OHMSS (if only 1963 Connery could have done that one instead of Big Facking Fry) Maybe a couple of the Craig ones, Casino Royale, Skyfall (because of Dench)

The rest nowhere.
Oops sorry Dav. Get our own bloody thread.

Nah, Monmouth. For me, the best threads are always the ones which center on music, books, movies, etc., even when -- perhaps especially when -- they drift off the course set by the O.P.
So many kindred spirits who enjoy writing about and reading such things that they enjoy.
And I always have a couple of new threads in mind to start it off on its way again.
Thanks to you, Monmouth, and the other posters who truly bring pleasure to the rest of us. If you do start "your own bloody thread," someone will surely nudge it off into one other related subjects. I do it from time to time, I must admit.
Here's another "cryin' song" that's almost as old as I am, recorded by giants of the music business. The melody and lyrics are as well-matched and blended as any song ever recorded.
