What's your "Happy Tune?"

[KansDem]

Mine is "Let's Fall in Love"

Now, I don't mean necessarily the lyrics but the overall tune: melody, harmony, rhythm, etc.

Something that you sing or hum to yourself when you find yourself happy, or experiencing a happy situation or encounter! Something that accommodates that certain spring in your step when you realize the sky is suddenly bluer, the grass greener, and the birds are singing a little louder.

(I particularly like the ii-V-I progression in "Let's" It makes me...happy!:D)

1. "Walking on Sunshine"

Gets me happy every time.

How about this one? Walking on Sunshine?

3. Joy to the World (TDN--not the Christmas carol, lol)

It had me at "Jeremiah was a bullfrog." :)

6. Ah, yes...a classic!

Actually played a wind ensemble arrangement of this back in my junior-college days in the 1970s!

You're making me feel young again! :)

5. "Follow Me"

Drawing a blank? :-) It's track 23 here:

http://www.starabella.com/starabella-soundtrack.htm

though my internal soundtrack plays the original version composed and performed by my dear friends Tara and Dana; the soundtrack version is, by comparison, overproduced.

In terms of music you've heard, "Dog Days Are Over", Florence + the Machine (the sole redeeming feature of the movie "Eat Pray Love").

8. Thanks for the link.

I must admit I'm not familiar with this.

I think my two kids, now teens, would have like this when they were younger! :hi:

It must be wonderful to have such talented friends! :D

[KamaAina]

9. It is indeed

and there's still time to order books and CDs for any other kids that may be in your life :-)
