Me, it has to be Great Big Sea, Gaelic Storm, or Weird Al. Today's rather a gloomy day here with pouring rain. I was trying to listen to That Darn Cat (yeah, the original), but it just wasn't doing it for me, so I put on Great Big Sea's album Play, and I'm feeling much better, especially after hearing the rollicking "The Night Pat Murphy Died." Gaelic Storm's "Drink The Night Away" also does it for me. As for Weird Al, I just gotta put in Out of Lynwood, Poodle Hat or Running with Scissors, and I'm a happy camper. I was listening to the first one this morning, and one song in particular does it for me, "Weasel Stomping Day." It's such a morbid topic with cringe-inducing sound effects, but it never fails to make me crack up. The singers are just so darn chipper! Oh, and one confession: Aqua's Aquarium. Yeah, the one that has "Barbie Girl." I can't help it. It just gets me going, lol.

My list is: The Country Bears Movie Soundtrack La Isla Bonita by Madonna Hotel California by the Eagles Anything by the Bare Naked Ladies or They Might Be Giants Give it Away by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. And I am sure there are many, many more!

Just seemed appropriate, ya know? That one always makes me feel kind of good about the nasty weather. Pretty much all of my happy music is from soundtracks. "If I Were a Rich Man" from Fiddler on the Roof is always one that makes me just feel like getting up and at 'em. My Fair Lady and The Sound of Music are both always nice to hear, you know, when the dog bites, or the bee stings, or I'm feeling sad. You might even say they're a few of my favorite things. ;)

7	davewasbaloo Sun 6/15/2008 1:43p	How about: Mozart's Requiem Anything by HIM the Cure
8	RockyMtnMinnie Sun 6/15/2008 2:19p	Harry Belafonte - Jump in the Line That song always makes me happy and get up and dance. :)
9	x Pirate_Princess x Sun 6/15/2008 3:09p	is that the one that's at the end of "Beatlejuice"?
10	RockyMtnMinnie Sun 6/15/2008 3:18p	Yep!
