Moondance by Van Morrison always puts me in the best mood.
I don't know about those happy songs but there are some really good ones on the sad list. It must be true that painful experiences produce the best "art".
Connie, yep, that's a wonderful song. Have a great day.
Morgan, Moondance is also a great song. Welcome to my blog. Thanks for visiting.
Jay Are, I think the people in Canberra are pretty weird ... don't know that I would've picked all those songs. Can think of plenty others for the happy list.
Susie, I don't know all of those songs either, probably around 75% of them. The people in Canberra are mostly politicians and public servants ... what does that tell you ??? Maybe they listen to different music than we do !!
Have a great day all.
Take care,
Meow
I think it's a big crock of s$#@ LOL.
I wouldn't trust anyone in Canberra! You only have to look at the list, i mean cmon...Zippedy Doo Dah.....you have to be kidding!
Must be one of little johnny's favs i reckon!
Bronwyn Bishop...feel like a woman!
Although i do agree with Honey, man i wanna slit my wrists everytime i hear that!
This is going to make someone laugh, but honestly I used to cry every time I heard "Ground control to major Tom".
Its the bit where it goes, "Tell my wife I love her so-oo-oh... She's know - oh-oo-ohs!"
Happy song? "Cows with guns" and "The homecoming queen's got a gun". What a funny coincidence, weapons make me laugh??!
Michelle, I thought when I posted that list that it would make for some interesting comments !!!! Don't know who they surveyed, but there are truly some weird songs on that list.
Justine, you are a dag !!!
Hey, fellow Aussies, isn't it weird being in a different time zone to most of the others who we blog with !?!? We can chat during the day, whereas they are chatting whilst we are asleep. I find that so strange .... :-)
Have a great Friday,
Meow
I treated this as a meme, Meow. Except I forgot to mention the gun songs! There are so many happy songs out there...
:-)
Justine, There are heaps of happy songs out there ... guess I should've done my own list ... maybe I will !! Off to do some thinking :-)
