Make a little birdhouse in your soul

[Reesha]

I got a new MP3 player today, figured the 512MB Rio I got back in my MTB days has seen better. In fact my old roommate, fortunately worked on small electronics and pieced it together after I dropped it down the stairs at work -- twice.

So I'm going through all my MP3s doing housekeeping, and one was always at the top because it had a goofy file name. Good old They Might Be Giants "Birdhouse in Your Soul." So I grabbed my headphones and starting jamming out. I forgot how stupid happy this song makes me.

When I was living with friends the oldest daughter and I used to scream along to this song and laugh our butts off. You can't sing along, you must yell. It's good it's not on my MP3 player, I could likely embarrass myself hollering this song, and I don't embarrass easily, if ever.

So what are your stupidly happy songs? I'm sure I can't be the only one who has a song that puts them in a sing along and act goofy mood. For the record, Kenny Loggins "Footloose" does that to a point. My ex had this cheeseball sort of sarcastic dance he did to and that is still a good memory.

That's my cell phone ringtone for my boyfriend I love that it's a song from the perspective of a blue canary night light. TMBG rules!!!

My happy songs are:
"500 Miles" by the Proclaimers
"Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots" by The Flaming Lips
"Rapper's Delight" by the Sugar Hill Gang
"Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen
"Army" by Ben Folds
"Kate" by Ben Folds
"Hey Ya" by Outkast

Sweet thread!

for me, its

"The Linus and Lucy Song"

(that's the piano bit that Linus keeps breaking into in A Charlie Brown Christmas and is the theme song for most of the Charlie Brown specials)

It's an instrumental, but I hum the tune a lot

"Call Me" - Blondie
"Believe" - Cher

Love to run on the treadmil to these.

For me, by far, it is "Love Shack" by the B-52's.

I can't stop dancing and smiling when I hear that song!!

had to think of this thread and it's wonderful title when I was trying to beat the Christmas blues yesterday. I have emotional, stirring favourites too, (so much that they're hazardous to listen to in public), but these two are def. my favourite Christmas happy songs:

"All I want for Christmas is you" - Mariah Carey
"Santa Baby" - Eartha Kitt

and "Rocking around the Christmas tree" isn't bad either.
