"You Better Sit Down Kids" was a hit single release by American singer/actress Cher in 1967. The song was a top 10 hit in the United States (#9 on the Billboard Hot 100) and also a top 10 in Canada (#7). "You Better Sit Down Kids" was released only in those two countries, however.
The song was arguably the first song ever released that dealt with divorce, as divorce was a somewhat taboo subject into the 1960s. The song garnered much attention in the media, leading to strong sales of the single, earning it a Gold certification in the US that same year.
