Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy Songs

[Ozimoto]

I recognize the first tune of the medley. There is a song in English that uses this tune. Since I don't know Irish I have no idea if it's a direct translation.

Yes, thanks. It is a Gaelic version of the traditional song "some say the devil's dead...". Many Celtic groups play this tune regularly. But the diction of these two ladies and their voices makes this one special. I was being a bit facetious when I said I did not know.

 

[Ozimoto]

Ah yes, this one. So the rest of the BY knows what we are talking about.

OK, we're slipping - no one has posted this one yet:

 

[Waquoit]

I don't think I saw this one posted yet. The incomparable Karen Carpenter.

Admittedly, the older I get the more I like the Carpenters. I started at 0. Sub-zero, maybe.

And another fine up tempo feel good tune:

And another fine up tempo feel good tune:

Catchy, yes, feel-good? I dunno, "Won't somebody stop to help a guy?" sounds pretty desperate. And the reason he needs a ride is to "get me home to keep her satisfied." The guy has no money to even ride a train. He and we know that his baby will be plenty satisfied by the time he gets home.

Ah, now you really are a cheery, upbeat sort aren't you?

Fortunately, I feel I don't possess your apparent sour disposition on life.

Some of the very best times I've ever experienced were when me and the buddies/GF's were broke - and those times are now super fond memories- and many times we were in fact Hitchin' a Ride somewhere.

I have no idea what these ladies are saying, but I know I like it.

I just played it a fourth time, so I guess I should put it on my favorites list. I'm trying to learn the words for the next sing along. Thanks!

Number 1 from the Frogman. A 1957 hit.

That's kind of uncalled for just because a poor guy singing about being miserable makes you happy. Lighten up, scud.

Ah, I would say just the opposite applies.....to you....

 

[Hoops66]

I'm glad the censors didn't stop this. It was considered pretty suggestive at the time. Sounds pretty happy to me.

 

[Stoneman]

I love this song – there’s an artist called Rumer who does a version of it as well. I saw her do it on the show live from Daryl’s house.

 

[Hoops66]

Starting the day with something romantic and sexy. Tango by Gotan Project is pretty captivating.

 

[Scud49]

Well here's one I hope we can all agree on:

 

[Ozimoto]

Here is one that is rather obscure...
