Live songs, sometimes can do it occasionally....beginning of Streets...
however...My Little Girl by Tim McGraw can do it almost every time! (he's country, and I'm most definitely not a country fan)It's a father/daughter song about her growing up and out on her own that just tugs at your heartstrings!

When I first heard it I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.  A bit like banging my foot against a piece of furniture.

Lot of non fans love that song. It's middle ground for me. I know you absolutely adore it :)

I think the original B-Side version of it is quite nice. I like the grit in Bono's vocals. It's not quite as sickeningly sweet as the popified Best Of redo.

I agree that a blue-eyed boy needs a brown-eyed girl.
