From WAAAY back... How can you not like a song that's so upbeat???

How come he don't come and p.i.p. with me
Down at the meter no more?
How come he turn off the t.v.
And he hang that sign on the door?
We call and we call 'How come?' we say
What could make a boy behave this way?
He learn all of the lines, and every time he
don't stutter when he talk
And it's true! It's true! He sure is acquired a
cool and inspired sorta jazz when he walk
Where's his jacket and his old blue jeans?
If this ain't healthy is it some kinda clean?

I think Chuck E's in love

I don't believe what you're saying to me
This is something I gotta see Is he here?
Look in the poolhall Is he here?
Look in the drugstore Is he here?
No, he don't come here no more

I'll tell you what I saw him
He was sittin' us down at the Pantages
And whatever is that he got up his sleeve
I hope it isn't contagious
What's her name? Is that her there?
Christ, I think he's even combed his hair!
Is that her? What's her name?
Oh, it's never going to be same.
But that's not her
I know what's wrong--
Chuck E's in love with the little girl who's singing this song
Chuck E's in love with me

We first heard this while driving cross-country to California, and we were in Oklahoma, I believe. A pretty empty place in early spring. It just really hit me.

Ok one last moldy oldie! Also really upbeat, hopeful.

So everyone must have a favorite song or ten. Why not post your faves and tell us why you like it?

Gotta think about that. I realize how little free time vie had in that I haven't listened to anything in a couple of years. What I like now is not as much what I liked then, though some of it holds for me, a lot slips away.

I could post a whole 80s playlist here.

Hello,

Music is for moods, and I have many favorites.

This one was a childhood favorite for the season.

OMG, too funny! That's one Weird Al I hadn't heard! Old enough to remember the "duck and cover" and Cuban Missile Crisis too. Altho one pipsqueak in our 6th grade class had the brains to say: "Do you want to know why we curl up into a ball? It's to kiss our ass goodbye". And this was in Catholic school, mind you.

OH, BTW- I thought it was part of the video but then realized it was just unfortunate ad placement: During the beginning scenes of the plane dropping bombs, Northern Tool had a FREE DELIVERY banner at the bottom. Erk!

In a twisted dark humor sense, you might then appreciate this - you remember those bumper stickers some pizza companies put on their cars ?
Delivery in 30 minutes or your next ones free!
Our nuke-bomber folks for a while had a habit of sticking those to the aircraft - to the point where they recieved a rather snarky memo about it.

Not gonna dig up a buncha vids, but I will list a couple.

When the children cry: White Lion
Let's Go on: Tenpai Sato (Rhapsody Soundtrack)
Free will: Rush
Forever autumn: Justin Hayward
Broken wings: Mr Mister
The Gunners Dream: Pink Floyd
Kiss me: Sixpence none the richer
True Colors: Cyndi Lauper

These are favs for something best descibed as "heavy" guitar work.

Blow my fuse: Kix
Shove: L7
Very heavy fuel: Dire Straits
Hells Bells: Ac/Dc

Here's a recent favorite.

Battle for Terra by Abel Korzeniowski

or a track from Torchwood by Ben Foster
