Given that George Hamilton IV sounds vaguely like someone who’s trying not get punched, coupled with the most maudlin and sentimental lyrics or any rock era teen song prior to the teen death music, you’d think this song would be fingernails on a chalkboard. But something in this song works. Maybe the fact that George doesn’t have a lot to lose (his only top ten) or that he truly is doing his best. Who knows? All I know is that every couple has some heirloom items in its history and no one has documented that phenomenon better that Mr. IV.
