Again, nothing against The Carpenters but their version of this (already not-great) song isn’t exactly a glowing example of their work.

 

I prefer SM:TV Live's version (with added S Club 7). Mainly because it was my childhood and only watched it because Pokemon was on Saturday morning's if I remember correctly.

I'm in a culling mood tonight, and using my logic from the other day in the 00s thread, groups usually only get one song through per round, might as well reduce Sweet's offering to one.
