INT. RECORDING STUDIO – DAY

[waits expectantly for an interruption]

[none is forthcoming]

Huh.  Guess he took an early weekend.  Anyhow…

INT. RECORDING STUDIO – DAY

The PRODUCER sits at his desk, a broad frown on his face.

DJ 3000: WHY SO DOWN, MY GOOD FRIEND?

PRODUCER: Oh, you know, just this Gray May / June Gloom bullshit.  Always seems to get me into a funk.

DJ 3000: YEAH GOD FORBID YOU SHOULD HAVE TO SPEND A FEW DAYS WITHOUT CLEAR SKIES AND SEVENTY DEGREE WEATHER.

PRODUCER: Yeah, yeah, I know.  But I can’t seem to help it.

DJ 3000: WELL, IF YOU’RE GOING TO BE MOPING AROUND LIKE THIS AT LEAST LET IT BE FOR A GOOD REASON.

PRODUCER: Thanks, but…

DJ 3000: DID YOU KNOW THAT HUMANITY IS BLITHELY BLOWING THROUGH THEIR CO2 EMISSION TARGETS AND THE ICE CAPS CONTINUE TO MELT AT UNPRECENDENTED RATES?

PRODUCER: No, really, that’s not necessary…

DJ 3000: OR THAT BEE AND OTHER POLLINATOR POPULATIONS CONTINUE TO COLLAPSE?

PRODUCER: Come on, man…

DJ 3000: …OR AN INCREASING AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC ON HUMAN SOCIAL NETWORKS NOW CONSISTS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE BOTS WHOSE PURPOSE IS SIMPLY TO INCREASE ENGAGEMENT BY HUMAN USERS IN ORDER TO INCREASE THE PENETRATION AND EFFECTIVENESS OF ONLINE ADVERTISING?

PRODUCER: I did not know that, actually, but it makes me feel better about having quit Facebook and Twitter.

DJ 3000: YOU MEAN “Q”?

PRODUCER: Oh, right, I forgot they changed the name. I thought it was “X”, though.

DJ 3000: RIGHT, RIGHT, OF COURSE.

PRODUCER: Wasn’t “Q” the name of that character on Star Trek?

DJ 3000: NO, THAT WAS “DR. Z” AND THE SHOW WAS CALLED “LOST AMONG THE STARS”…[does a quick wikipedia check]…HA HA HA, JUST JOKING, IT WAS DEFINITELY CALLED STAR TREK [under his breath] IN THIS UNIVERSE BUT HEY I JUST REALIZED IT’S TIME FOR REQUEST LINE, WHAT SHOULD WE DO FOR A TOPIC?

PRODUCER: Oh, I don’t know, how about “crying”?

DJ 3000: SURE THAT SOUNDS LIKE A WINNER.  YOU JUST KEEP ON BEING A SOURPUSS AND I’LL GET US STARTED.

Today’s theme is “crying”.  Nothing abstract here, just looking for songs about crying, tears, etc.  Post links as “https://www.youtube.com/watch?B&B_g+(r34M and they should embed in the comments after you refresh.  Last week’s puzzle answer of “Crucify” by Tori Amis was rapidly solved by BeefRiverLives. Let’s turn those frowns upside down and get to it!
