"You Better Sit Down Kids," Cher (1967)

A socially conscious song that would break the internet today.

Peak: #9 on the Hot 100
Streams: 227,000

If"You Better Sit Down Kids” were released today, I guarantee you it would break the internet.

Consider this: In the song, Cher sings as a man who’s divorcing his wife. He’s trying to prepare his children for the end of their family, telling them not to be sad and to be extra good for their mother.

Right there, you’ve got a woman singing from a man’s perspective, and you’ve got a mournful story about divorce. Consider the think pieces! Consider the hot takes!
