Feel Good Songs

I take that as a good thing.

 

Another classic from Canada....

Fly By Night - Chilliwack

 

I counter with this:

 

You just like how he holds his flugelhorn

 

Great song but (for me) I'd put it behind "working day and night" and a couple of Jackson 5 songs in my MJ "feel good" pantheon.

Love drip going Funkadelic. Meant to add Jungle Boogie to my list and "joy and pain" by rob base and DJ ez rock

 

That's Harpers Bizarre.

And yes, I spelled that right. Harper's Bazaar is the magazine.

Harper's Ferry is where John Brown raided the arsenal and was captured.

None of these is to be confused with Harper Valley, home of a soap opera-worthy PTA.



Also, "Hot Rod Lincoln" is all kinds of greatness.


That is all.

 

The aforementioned "Here Comes the Sun"

"I Can See Clearly Now", Johnny Nash

"Windy", The Association

"Sloop John B", Beach Boys (although you could insert any number of Beach Boys tunes here)

"Bust a Move", Young MC

"We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions", Queen

"Stand", REM

 

And 'Mass Romantic' isn't happy lyrically, but it always makes me happy.

 

A true one hit wonder.

 

Maybe on the pop charts. He was a big deal in jazz circles for a long time.

The thing that always got me about Chuck was that he was the headliner, but his side guys -- sax player Chris Vadala and guitarist Grant Geissman -- had all the kick-ass solos.

Not that anyone but me cares, but Geissman went off on his own and has had a pretty good career himself. I just googled Vadala and apparently he's now a professor of music at the University of Maryland.

 

nice song, but Chuck Berry's original is better.

 

that or the Divinyls' "I Touch Myself"
