Post songs that make you happy!

[LynneSin]

Here's a few from me:

&ob=av2e
The New Radicals "You get what you give"

Chumbawumba "Tubthumping"

Len "Steal my Sunshine"

George Thorogood - "Ride on Josephine"

[hlthe2b]

1. I can see clearly now....Johnny Nash

I can see clearly now....Johnny Nash

Here comes the sun... the Beatles

Dancing in the street....Martha and the Vandellas

Back in the High Life.... Steve Winwood

Many others, but these come to mind....And, yes, I actually DO listen to more current music--much that I like... but I can't say any come readily to mind when you say "feel happy."

[Baclava]

31. Steve Winwood is pretty cool

[hlthe2b]

32. Years ago when WInwood was really hot as a single artist....

I used to ski to his "Back in the High Life" and/or "Chronicles" albums on a walkman. I don't know what it was about it, but I always skied well above my abilities when the title song and Higher Love came on..."Roll with it" is a favorite as well.

Now those were some happy memories.

[Scuba]

2. ...

[Ptah]

3. You can't rollerskate in a buffalo herd, but you can be happy if you've a mind to

[gratuitous]

10. Was actually singing that one riding to work today

I am old and pathetic . . .

But this song makes me happy, too

The "Jumpin' Jack Flash/Youngblood" medley performed by Leon Russell on the Concert For Bangladesh album. Not only is it a seamless merging of two classic songs, it's the most kickass version of either song that I've ever heard.

(edited to add link - enjoy!)

20. She did. He was just waiting on the wrong corner.

Ooops!

[OriginalGeek]

25. Doh!

Heard it a million times and never thought of it that way - so he ran til he was breathless and found her? I always thought he missed his chance because he was a fool on the wrong block...

This makes me much happier!

We sing "Gentle Shepherd" at the close of the communal prayer in church, which is usually followed by special music selected and played by our pianist. I've often thought "Gentle Shepherd" would flow quite naturally into "Bellavia."
