I won't sleep, I can't breathe - until you're resting here with me  
Today was a very disjointed but decent day. The weather turned suddenly cold and snowy again, resulting in ridiculous traffic that made me half an hour late to work - and I had a meeting at exactly that time. Thank everything my boss is understanding. We're going to be supporting a new software product, so yay for more training. It looks like I may actually put some of what I learned in that grad school-level finance course to use. Of course, that will mean that I'll have to remember it...

In much happier news, one of my best friends had her baby!! If you would like to look upon his cuteness, please :
His name is Zain, and he was 7 lbs and 20 inches long. >:D<



And now, I have a request of you. I want to know what your favorite happy songs are. I need some happy songs. Tell me what song always makes you smile, that you love to sing along to, that just makes you want to bounce around the room. I look forward to your comments. >:D

I think the song that gives me a happy (XD) right now is Smokey Robinson's Cruisin'. I also dig Marvin Gaye, the Commodores and Stevie Wonder.

Other happy songs? I admit it; I do like that new J. Lo song.

There are so many. "Reach" by S Club 7 is my favorite happy song, though. *beams* S Club fan and proud. :D

"As Cool As I Am" by Dar Williams
"Wannabe" by the Spice Girls
"Brick House" by the Commodores
"Soak Up the Sun" (? I think that's the title) by Sheryl Crow
"32 Flavors" by Ani Difranco

And...lots of others, but I'm drawing a blank at the moment.

It was nice to "meet" you on AIM earlier-- but sorry I was such a spaz. I get shy for no reason sometimes. And then my silly computer kicked me off and wouldn't let me sign back on... :-/

Thanks for the ideas, and don't worry about it! I'm usually on AIM at work, but I don't always have time to talk much. Finding me on weekends is typically easier.

I'm far too tired and too far from my CD collection to actually work out any songs from my rather curious set that might fit the bill. I'm not generally into bounce-around-the-room type music, if I'm feeling happy and want to put on something that reflects that mood (which I actually don't really do all that often - perhaps I should give it a go) then I tend towards something that I either think is stunningly beautiful in some way ("Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands" by Dylan and large sections of "Dark Side of the Moon" and "Wish You Were Here" by Pink Floyd spring to mind, but that's probably because I've had them on fiarly recently, but they do fit the description).

About the only thing that I own which fits the bill is probably by Madness. I think that pretty much any song of theirs you pick would probably conform to the 'bouncy' specifications!

Ps. Zain looks very sweet, if a little wibbly!

Wouldn't you be a bit wibbly if you had just been born? Silly Greg. :)

The "Amélie" soundtrack. It is so absolutely my No.1 feel-good music. Though that might be because I am in love with the film, and it always reminds me of it...

Guided by Voices - I Am a Tree. I'm not sure if this is a happy song or if it is just that it reminds me of my friend Kerri, who has this vibe that makes everyone happy. But the opening chords of it alone put me in a good mood.

Paul Simon - You Can Call Me Al. It is just a fun song, and I do not see how anyone can not have fun with it.

Queen - You're My Best Friend. (or is this called You're Making Me Live? Either way, I am sure you know the song.)

The Vapors - Turning Japanese.

The Cure - Mint Car.

Switchblade Kittens - Ode to Harry Potter.

Ben Folds Five - Kate.

Anything by the Penguin Café Orchestra.

If you don't know their work, do go and have a listen to the samples. I simply can not stay miserable when I listen to their music.

--Kay, listening to "Telephone and Rubber Band" right now and grinning.

Teesside Snog Monster: southparkjiggery_pokery on February 25th, 2003 05:37 am (UTC)
That's the only one of theirs that anybody knows, due to the Vodafone commercial. I did - and do - like it, though I can't help but think of the rather worse followup ad they did where they had a big group of kids clapping along with the time, which was rather more irritating.

The sample is frustratingly short. Please would you be so kind as to bring the CD with the full piece with you to Mac200bage?

/me is off to listen to the samples of the other tracks...
