Tearjerkers -- We sing, we cry to these tunes
"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. Girls parents say they cant be together. Girl dumps him. SPOILER ALERT: The leader of the pack dies at the end. Wasnt it bad enough that he got dumped?
