Why Do Songs Have 96 Tears

The consensus, according to Balderrama, was to switch the numbers and call it “96 Tears.” But in an interview with Songfacts, lead singer Question Mark said the song was always called “96 Tears,” because the number 96 had a “profound meaning.” But he refused to say what that meaning was.

Was 96 Tears originally 69 tears?

told Songfacts the song was always called “96 Tears,” and never “69 Tears” or “Too Many Teardrops” as sometimes reported. He insists that the number 96 has a deep, philosophical meaning, but refuses to tell us what that is. Interviewing him is quite an adventure. Note that the singer is not the one crying the 96 Tears.
