Songs to be happy to

[jamiefairlie]

My god, the sounds in that song are something special.

Sometimes I forget how much I love New Order.

Always found TLU a bit of a dirge to be honest but to each their own.

This has perked me up many times over the last 34 years.

Yeah, that's a gread choice.

Babymetal's Gimme Chocolate!! invariably makes me smile.

The Mountain Goats' No Children is always a great sing-along at their gigs.

Al Bowlly - Hang Out the Stars in Indiana

Hey, great call.  People don't seem to be into really old-timey figures on here (or at least they don't talk about them), but they're often good times.  I like the idea of having my own Ivor Novello or Eddie Cantor sitting in the living room on the piano while a murder mystery goes on around them.

There's a guy called Whispering Jack Smith I play quite a bit who's so soft and playful.  Was dancing with my mum to Me & My Shadow a few days ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RftR-G-c6XM

I love old music, like old books, it can open a little window into a lost place where you can dance all alone.

Ray Noble and his orchestra, Love is the Sweetest Thing.

It doesn't get much more cosy than this. Lovely.

Absolute by Scritti Politti

This is my go to Happy Song.  I'd really like it played as I am cremated or consigned to the earth or whatever.

I had my iPod on shuffle earlier and 'Word Up' by Cameo came on.
Surely that's a song that brightens up anyone's day.
