My late aunt had fairly mainstream taste in pop music of the 40s and 
50s...but I recall how much she loathed the song "My Happiness."     When I 
was a little kid,  she would sometimes sing a little bit of it in a 
simpering voice,  and I always laughed.

And to this day I've never heard a version of it I could stomach.
