No more doom and gloom (music)

[Ozimoto]

This thread could not be complete without the "Happy Happy Joy Joy" song. This was played at my wedding reception....

 

[Bigboote]

This one's not about the name of the tune, but the name of the band. If any of you are prog rock fans who haven't heard of them, definitely listen to this cut by Happy the Man:

Here's a good up tempo version of "Wild Thing" form Sister Carol:

 

[Cedar]

Two reasons to be happy: Mick’s heart surgery was successful, and the Stones are planning to tour.




Another version, featuring Sheryl Crow and Keith Richards.

One from Stevie, from an all-time great album:

This is one joyful, infectious, road driving song - from the one and only Taj Mahal:

The good news that Anna Makurat is coming to UConn made me think of this joy and happiness music thread. We had a few “groovy” songs in the thread. Geno getting commitments from Paige, Nina and Anna in the last month proves that he still must be a pretty groovy guy. And I also have another groovy song.

Marilyn McCoo was about as groovy as she could possibly be:

The Duke of Earl was pretty groovy in 1970:

And to keep my Old Fart membership alive:

 

[Bigboote]

Not their finest moment, but, geez, two minutes watching Michelle Phillips is never a bad thing. Wish the video was better.

And to keep my Old Fart membership alive:

Hey, I'll keep mine alive, too:

 

[Scud49]

This one firmly places me in the Old Farts League - but I certainly still love the song:

 

[bantamlaker]

A grad transfer who is from England and can play right away calls for a song by the Beatles

Not their finest moment, but, geez, two minutes watching Michelle Phillips is never a bad thing. Wish the video was better.

The one you should have put up. A whole generation in love with Michele:

The one you should have put up. A whole generation in love with Michele:

Great song. And Michelle is indeed lovely. However, when John's daughter Mackenzie alleged that her father had an illicit relationship with her, the song took on a very negative vibe and is seldom heard anymore. Too bad . It was a wonderful song.

Better song, MUCH better video. Tanks, mon!

And interesting to see Frank Zappa at the 1:13 mark. I forget that he was kind-of sort-of part of that scene for a year or two.
