I agree, ryhog. Also, as others have pointed out, "That's What Friends Are For" was not originally written as an anthem in support of people with AIDS, but as a song for the movie NIGHT SHIFT. I never knew this, or maybe I had just forgotten, but I would say the original intent has a large bearing on how "treacly" the song is or isn't.

I think it has to. Think of all the beloved songs that have recently been heard in really embarrassing context in TV commercials, and that kinda make you sick at the stomach.
