Story about this misheard lyric by: Jackie

My boyfriend was singing the song correctly when I bursted out in laughter at him, thinking the real lyrics were, 'Don't be shamed, darling, don't be shamed'. I belted out my version, only to be greeted by an equal amount of laughter from him. We were on the floor laughing, until I realized that he was right.

Upbeat Songs With Depressing Lyrics:

"Danke Schoen"

Danke Schoen,
darling Danke Schoen.
Thank you for seeing me again.
Though we go on our seperate ways,
still the memories stay,
for always,
my heart says,
Danke Schoen.

Why:

This song has a Big Band Swing feel, but this is about a guy who met a girl and she only stays for awhile and may never return. He remembers the happier times though it hurts him once in awhile.
