Maudlin (HO!!) ballads (UH!!)

Inspired by Eamon's appearance on Fox-TV's godawful summer music show last night, bleating his hit song off-key while another guy periodically interjected a hearty "UH!!" or "HO!!" or "AUGH!!" as if gut-shot.

What other schlocky ballads might be improved by being puncutuated with animalistic grunts? Feel free to illustrate.

Don McLean - "Vincent"

"Starry, starry night (UH!!)
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze (UH!!!)
Swirling clouds in violet haze (HO!!)
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue (BLUE!!!)
Colors changing hue (HUE!!!)"

David Letterman does this all the time -- UGH!!! GNNNGHG! It's hilarious. I nominate "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner," not because it's maudlin or a ballad, but because it would be awesome.
