Posted: 6/17/2007 6:01:22 PM | | We have had a thread about melancholy music that makes us all sad and blue. Now, let's take a look at which music makes you get up and feel happy? When you need a pick-me-up or an attitude adjustment, which music will do it for you? What is your favorite "feel good" song/album/CD ? | |

I really dig "When the World Ends". Just wonderful lyrics. | |

Particularly the "Comfort Eagle" CD
Their music is an acquired taste, as it's different than what you'll see on MTV or hear on the radio, but it's clever, witty and different. | |

He comes out with a new cd at just the right time, like he wrote about whatever was going on in my personal life at the time. I've been a fan since the early early early days and he lifts me and carries me away. I can put each one of his songs to a person, time or place.
It will be interesting to hear what's next!  | |

Here's one by Pink:
U + Ur Hand
Check it out
Going out
On the late night
Looking tight
Feeling nice
It's a **** fight
I can tell
I just know
That it's going down
Tonight
At the door we don't wait cause we know them
At the bar six shots just beginning
That's when****head put his hands on me
But you see
I'm not here for your entertainment
You don't really want to mess with me tonight
Just stop and take a second
I was fine before you walked into my life
Cause you know it's over
Before it began
Keep your drink just give me the money
It's just you and your hand tonight
Midnight
I'm drunk
I don't give a ***k
Wanna dance
By myself
Guess you're outta luck
Don't touch
Back up
I'm not the one
Buh bye
Listen up it's just not happening
You can say what you want to your boyfriends
Just let me have my fun tonight
Aiight
I'm not here for your entertainment
You don't really want to mess with me tonight
Just stop and take a second
I was fine before you walked into my life
Cause you know it's over
Before it began
Keep your drink just give me the money
It's just you and your hand tonight
In the corner with your boys you bet 'em five bucks
You'd get the girl that just walked in but she thinks you suck
We didn't get all dressed up just for you to see
So quit spilling your drinks on me yeah
You know who you are
High fivin, talking ****, but you're going home alone arentcha?
Cause I'm not here for your entertainment
No
You don't really want to mess with me tonight
Just stop and take a second
Just stop and take a second
I was fine before you walked into my life
Cause you know it's over
Know it's over
Before it began
Keep your drink just give me the money
It's just you and your hand tonight
It's just you and your hand tonight | |

There's always Alice's Restaurant to make me smile. Or if you want something nobody here has hard of I still like Juke Box Gypsy by Lindisfarne.
P.S. If you think I'm weird because of these choices, thank you!

Lonely in your nightmare-Duran Duran
It is a tie between the two songs though DD wins more often than not. Delicious song, some romantic undertones with wisful dreamy movements.

You just had to remind me of the pain (yes, pain!) that Cheech and Chong caused me long ago. The first time I saw Up in Smoke about 10 minutes into the movie I started laughing hard and couldn't stop. When Chong pull out that pot cigar I completely lost it and everytime I started to recovery they did something to make it worse. I've never laughed that hard before or since and, no, I wasn't smoking anything. | |

I haven't seen the musical but I absolutely loved the book. Wicked is simply amazing.

Not only had I not smoked anything, I had never done so at that time. As it was I was laughing so hard I couldn't breathe. What would have happened with THC in my blood? I might have died!
