The original also makes me happy...

Jennifer just blows Sara away.

Here's one from Steeleye Span that just screams joy:

Like this version more than the Beatles.

Great cover...love Sina on drums and Andrei Cerbu is an awesome guitarist (check out his cover band "Shut Up And Kiss Me!".

Love them, discovered "Shut Up and Kiss Me" around the time that UConn lost their second game in a row. I was down in the dumps because of it, feeling kind of bummed for the young ladies because they couldn't catch a break.

They were doing a cover of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody", I wanted to see how good it was compared to Pentatonix's version. I didn't realize it at first that it was Andrei, but he looked familiar and I checked to see who was in the group and saw his name. I was wondering why he hasn't been doing anymore covers with Sina, his guitar play is remarkable and he really gets in the moment when he is playing.

Here is their latest cover, "Rock and Roll Music" by Chuck Berry;

Hey!!!!! There were no cell phones in the '60s, 70s or 1980.

Speaking of School of Rock kids.

Here's one of my favorites.

Never Been Any Reason

 

[Bigboote]

I was listening to Donovan during my lunchtime run today -- he has lots of songs that fit this category. This one is the happiest for me. I just love this verse:

Few people get there quick by the chosen road
They don't know, it's quicker to go
By natural velocity

That's just SO Donovan.

 

[Scud49]

This one makes me happy about hittin' the highway - road trip time.

"Truckin on down to Galveston, on down to Houston, it's rolling into view"

 

[Ozimoto]

This is my favorite Donovan song. And it's good for a smile.

Here's one which perhaps best illustrates how songs that are not happy, happy tunes but are equisitely orchestrated with voices which blend so well, just have to make you smile.

If this song doesnt get you up, you have no pulse!

Simple question..simple answer

When I saw the movie at the theater I cried at the beauty of this song.

The electric guitar on the far right makes me smile - a wide smile.

And good one for you BB..! I had not heard that song before from the GW.

I heard "Clap For the Wolfman" a few days ago on Sirius, I had forgotten all about it.

This is a bit different from the ordinary post but here goes. This rendition of the Edwin Hawkins favorite ,by this Mennonite choir is beautiful and the solo is chillingly so. If you do listen go right to the end, because there is a pause before the last high note. In the Easter season this is up lifting. Enjoy.

"Different from the ordinary" is encouraged and loved on these threads! This gave me all the feels.

Added this to my playlist a couple years ago. A true quirky gem.
