Big boys don't cry.... Major tenth-grade flashback!

Do you remember the "Mr. Jaws" novelty record? That was the first time I heard the "big boys don't cry" part of the song.

Also, according to Wiki, "The instrumental break featured the repeated spoken phrase: "Be quiet, big boys don't cry...", which was spoken by Kathy Warren, the receptionist of the Strawberry Studios where the band recorded the track."

I love that song! I think you've inspired me to write again!

[karaokegal]

YAY! I'll look forward to seeing it. :)

I may do something with this. This song always got to me.

The production is amazing. The Wiki entry gives a lot of really interesting information on how they achieved the sound.

And if I get some angsty fic out of it...all the better.
