Enough of Misery Rock, what are the songs that make you smile? What would you recommend? Some of my fav's are: Higher and Higher, Jackie Wilson Up On The Roof, The Drifters Dreadlock Holiday, 10cc Baby it's Cold Outside, Tom Jones & Catatonia Closer to Fine, The Indigo Girls ...and (embarrassingly) the theme from Wonder Woman Also like the whole of Primal Scream's "Screamadelica" album, always gets me jiggy!
come original - 311 make me smile - steve harley & cockney rebel we hate everyone - type o negative just a few of my favourites
Good question. You're quite right about "Screamadelica" that's some happy shit. Some of my own would no doubt include: Love - You Set The Scene The Chemical Brothers - The Sunshine Underground Toots & The Maytals - Monkey Man Hyper Kinako - Toyko International Registration Office The Beta Band - She's The One It's fun just thinking about them
The Lovin' Spoonful - What a day for a daydream The Cowsills - Flower Girl Scott McKenzie - San Francisco Strawberry Alarm Clock - Incense and Peppermints
The Byrds - Mr Tambourine Man Cat Stevens - Saturday Night & Wild World Cass Elliott - Make Your Own Kind Of Music
Once song that always puts a smile on my face, is Lie in our graves by Dave Matthews. It's so upbeat and carefree, it always gets me going.
The Shins - New Slang Postal Service - Such Great Heights Orbital - Dr Who Theme Four tet - Smile around the Face Mew - Comforting Sounds
Bruce Springsteen (this will be a fucking long list :tongue: Rosalita Jungleland Quarter To Three - yeah, it's a cover, but hot damn is it good. New York City Serenade (no live version can do the song justice, so no youtube) Thunder Road Sweat by The Inner Circle...I was just barely leaving primary school when this came out oh fuck I feel old Here's To You by Of A Revolution...no video for this one. Shame. Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison Honey Just Allow Me One More Chance by Bob Dylan Ooo...there's a bluegrass style cover of Turn Turn Turn (originally by The Byrds) done by...Hayseed Dixie, I think. That is the perfect summer song, and every time I hear it, it feels like I'm on a train looking out of the window at a vast countryside rushing past. Also, maybe it's just the bloke part of me, but I cannot help but grin when I watch this. Five golden manbabies!!
the theme from Brazil, sung by Geoff Muldaur. You can find it among many other goodies on White Bicycles, a compilation of songs produced by the legendary Joe Boyd.
