"Leader of the Pack"

Artist: The Shangri-Las
Year: 1964
Heartbreaking line: “He sort of smiled and kissed me goodbye, the tears were beginning to show/ as he drove away on that rainy night, I begged him to go slow…”
Why we weep: Girl falls for the cool, motorcycle-riding guy. Girl’s parents say they can’t be together. Girl dumps him. SPOILER ALERT: The leader of the pack dies at the end. Wasn’t it bad enough that he got dumped?
