(it's a title of the song by MIKA) A happy tune with a sad story about a toy that was once loved by a boy, and his tragic fate that made him ugly and distorted.. It really touched me since I also had toys that I loved before then I grew older and had to give them up. 
Can you share any sad songs that touch you?
I’m a wind-up toy in an up down world
If you leave me all alone, I’ll make a mess for sure
I’ve a heart of gold in the smallest size
Leave me in the dark, you’ll never hear me cry
She’s the meanest hag that has ever been
Pulled out my insides with an old safety pin
I’m the sorest sight, now I feel like trash
Clothes are made of rags and they don’t even match
On a long lost day when you're gray and dull
You'll be there remembering your old toy boy
When your oldest son wonderin' what to be
Tell him the story of a boy like me

Indeed that song you shared is touching and could not fail to move anyone who hears!
There are indeed some songs that could move sensible people to tears. One old song originally sung by my favorite Connie Francis never fails to touch my heart. This is a song for a Mother who has passed away:
[i]"When the evening shadows fall
and the lovely day is through
Then with longing I recall
the years I spent with you
Mama, I miss the days
when you were near to guide me
Mama, those happy days
when you were here beside me
Safe in the glow of your love
Sent from the heavens above
Nothing can ever replace
The warmth of your tender embrace
Oh, Mama, until the day
that we're together once more
I'll live in these memories
Until the day that we're together once more"[/i]

The title is simply "Mama". So touching indeed especially to those whose mothers have already passed away. This song will certainly move them to tears especially if they really love their mother.

Mikla is so underrated, Just because he is not American Singer his mainstream career is struggling. My action figures are currently happy living a glass display and I still play them when no one looks around.

I don't really have any of my toys now, my mom gave them all to the little kids.. 
Thenk you for sharing the link. 
Yeah I agree, Mika is a great singer, but not many knows about him since most people are busy listening to Katy Perry, Ke$ha, and the like..

My first Mika song is Grace kelly and after that i was hooked. I love his over the top theatrical and epic style.
I have lots of his songs in my mp4 now- I really love listening to his songs since they make my mood light up.

that is a really good song.. It reminds us f childhood days and our toys that we used to play with. I remember the Toy Story with this song, especially Toy Story 3, when the boy is all grown up and the toys become sad when he can't play with them anymore..

When I go through my crate of old childhood toys, it makes me so sad to see how I've grown up and left all my carefree childhood fun behind. All the adventures I used to go on with my Legos and dinosaurs and cars, now all I do is work, work, work. I never heard the song but the topic got me quite interested. I really miss the old days, my favorite quote is "youth is wasted on the young" meaning young people are too inexperienced/immature to appreciate and enjoy everything that makes youth, and once you're old you really appreciate it, sort of like a variation of "you don't know what you have until it's gone".

I love the quote that you shared.. so true.. I cna relate to you too, although i don't have any of my toys anymore, I do remember the days when my life was so carefree, no responsibilities and lots of work..Now I am so busy with college and other stuff, I can't even enjoy sometimes.
