No that isn't the one Marian. Think of the whole opposite expression

I did not really think it was right--it was just a wild guess to get started !!

Very good guesses, think again the opposite to being ungrateful.

Could it be one of the many highlights from The Rare Monro:

I've So Much To Be Thankful For

I love how he holds the long note for an eternity.

TV programmes and films always use What A Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong and I am so tired of that record. I wish they would consider I've So Much To Be Thankful For by Matt Monro, which has a similar sentiment and sung so much better.

You are correct Paul. Well done. And yes, great song this one from Matt with that never ending note. We have just seen Satchmo singing "What A Wonderful World" from High Society on the countdown of 100 best musicals.
It's your turn Paul. :lol: :lol:

I have one or two that might be suitable answers---so I am going to start with

"Only Friends"---on the assumption that these 2 are NOT friends !

That's a good guess, John. But Marian has it right. Those men are bitter enemies, so the excellent and tender song from The Rare Monro with a very 1970s feel, Only Friends, would be the antonym song title.

Your turn again, Marian!

Oh Wow---that is a surprise--I had never heard of Hugo ??? But I checked him out, and found he was President of Venezuala, so I guessed that they would not be on friendly terms.

Here is one that I have been thinking about for a while--
