The “A – You’re Adorable” song. Heh. So cute.

“Ain’t too Proud to Beg” – The Temptations. This is my favorite song of all time.

I’ve been serenaded twice and both times the it was by songs I didn’t know but were incredibly sweet. So if it happened again—I’d like a song I didn’t know, but that was an easy to pick up on and enjoy, old classic.

Neither situation was romantic, but both songs bring a smile to my face whenever I hear them because of their associations.

@onesecondregrets: I lurve that version of the song and have recently fallen in love with his music.

fyi everyone i am really enjoying these answers!

Dr_C's avatar

i’ve actually serenaded a couple of people in my day… and in my experience… an acoustic guitar with pretty much any song (as long as there’s feeling behind it and you can hold a tune reasonably well) is more than enough… the thought and the emotion count more than the actual words

Come to think of it, there would be some great Mountain Goats songs too…

SuperMouse's avatar

@onesecondregrets is that a cover of the Oasis song Wonderwall?

My choice would be either More by Matthew West, Baby I’m a Want You Bread, or Stone in Love The Stylistics.

cookieman's avatar

@SuperMouse: Sorry to answer for @onesecondregrets, but, yes. It’s a much better version IMHO. Slow and moody.

SuperMouse's avatar

@cprevite really?! I am going to have to find it, that is one of my favorite songs in the entire world! Thanks for the info!

MacBean's avatar

@SuperMouse—I’m a big fan of the original and still prefer the Ryan Adams version. I’m pretty sure even if you don’t end up liking it better, you’ll still like it. :D

cookieman's avatar

@SuperMouse: let us know how you like it.
