What's your happy song?

If I Should Fall From Grace With God - The Pogues. This is just a cheerful, feel good song. No complex psychodynamics, just simple fun. Check out the Youtube video

After writing the above, it occurred to me that someone might mistake my meaning, and imagine that I meant to criticize those who listen to cheerful music when they are depressed in order to get over being depressed. Far from it. If that works for you, then that is fine. I merely meant to indicate that there are those of us for whom a different approach is necessary. I apologize if there was any confusion.

No I get it. I'm actually with you on it. I think The Lion Sleeps Tonight just brings back really fond memories of my dad and my childhood and that's what's churning in the backkground of my brain and it takes me back to such a siimple time.

I'm just glad nobody said Katrina and the Waves, Walking on Sunshine.

strongbad, I have to partially agree. I am going to include the entire album Fashion Nugget. Then add Bloodhound Gangs The Bad Touch to the list.

"Wagon Wheel" by Old Crow Medicine Show. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2vJUadjdmo

When the drop into that acapella line for the third verse.

I really like OCMS and the pre-bluegrass style. If you want to really plumb the roots, find some old recordings of Gid Tanner and the Skillet Lickers from back in the 1920's. OCMS is one of the groups I have heard that seems to take their sound from old "Hillbilly Music" as it was called before the invention of the somewhat more reputable Bluegrass. It's crude and often politically incorrect, being from the old unreformed South. Believe it or not, Gid shows up on Youtube

I find Big and Rich "Big Time" to be a happy song, I like to crank it up and attempt to sing along (preferably cranked to where you couldn't actually hear ME)

 

[cym_city]

I go for Dave Matthews, #41. Preferably from the "Live at Luther College" album, but I'm not picky.

"One of My Turns" from Pink FLloyd's The Wall

Seriously, if I feel down, I put on some blues music and before Iknow it I feel better. I don't know why that works but I know it does.

This might seem like an odd choice but we're not having a conformity war.

It makes me feel like I'd be happy to break something.
