“Superstar” by The Carpenters


The way Karen Carpenter sings this is simply exquisite. The orchestration is perfect, too. Sometimes you want to have a sit and feel melancholy and this is a perfect song for those moments.

Remember that scene in Tommy Boy where the Chris Farley and David Spade characters can’t agree on anything but they agree to leave “Superstar” on the radio and then the movie cuts to both of them singing along and weeping?

That’s exactly right.
