Tell me what song makes you happy 
I make happy playlists / compilations for listening to in the car, but after 3 compilations I am running out of ideas for the next one. So give me your suggestions please!

Shiny Happy People and Birhouse in your Soul are already on compilation number 1 but good to know we are thinking on the same lines!
The Proclaimers will definitely be going on the next compilation.
As for Jeff Wayne I don't know it but I will definitely look out for it. It's not going to make me cry is it? Songs that make me inspired sometimes make me cry and that's no good if I am driving

Have you seen the live show wjp?

If I want something smoother I would go for Something (The Beatles), Lay Lady Lay (Bob Dylan), God Only Knows (The Beach Boys) or Michael Row The Boat Ashore (The Highwaymen - it makes me go all goosey).
Sorry they're all old!

By the way, 'Your Disco Needs You' by Kylie Minogue is the gayest song ever - and would be great for your compilation Cherry!

So do you think there's something my boyfriend of 13 years who owns all the Kylie CDs and DVDs is not telling me?I don't know that particular song but if it's on one of her CDs we'll have it somewhere.

Songs that make me really happy and I love to sing along to are Parklife by Blur, Day Dream Believer by The Monkees and Lets Face The Music (And Dance) by Nat King Cole.If I want something smoother I would go for Something (The Beatles), Lay Lady Lay (Bob Dylan), God Only Knows (The Beach Boys) or Michael Row The Boat Ashore (The Highwaymen - it makes me go all goosey).Sorry they're all old!
Great suggestions Oldspice
although that Nat King Cole track is used in a very annoying advert ... "we are the ones who should have been careful" aargh ...Definitely going to dig out my Monkees CD this weekend though

It's on 'Light Years'. In fact, most of that album would be great for your compilation.

Other favourites are:-
Knock On Wood by Amii Stewart.
Video Killed The Radio Star by The Buggles.
Rock The Casbah by The Clash.
Unbelievable by EMF.
Stacey's Mom by Fountains Of Wayne.
Molly Smiles by Jesse Spencer.
Wimmin by Ashley Hamilton.
And mostly anything by ABBA.
Any of these songs give me a silly, happy feeling and some of them even have me laughing out loud, dancing, and singing along at the top of my voice.
Much to the embarassment of my kids.
Probably not a good idea to listen to them if I was driving though.

OMG someone else has heard of Jim Croce! Time in a Bottle is one of my very favourite songs and I love all the songs on an album an old boyfriend gave me many, many years ago.
I'm a Jim Croce fan too Oldspice! (At least I was). I think I still have a couple of old vinyl albums somewhere.
Post by: Velvet Darkness on March 10, 2007, 06:10:37 pm
I like Our Lady Peace too, especially the song they did for the movie The Craft. I think it was called something like Tomorrow Never Knows.
Post by: oldspice on March 10, 2007, 06:25:49 pm
His best known songs include Time in a Bottle, I had to Say I Love You in a Song, Photographs and Memories, Big, Bad LeRoy Brown and I Got A Name.

I've always liked 'Time in a Bottle' - it was played when Kate died in Heartbeat (in the days when that was a good show) - but I never knew who the artist was.

Jim Croce wrote and recorded a number of beautiful songs before his early death in a plane crash when he was still in his 20s.His best known songs include Time in a Bottle, I had to Say I Love You in a Song, Photographs and Memories, Big, Bad LeRoy Brown and I Got A Name.
Thanks for those and the info.
I have heard of Big, Bad Leroy Brown and I will see if I can find any of them on my music download site.

and the song about Do you like peedacarladers
and getting soke in the rain
Post by: StrollingMinstrel on March 11, 2007, 10:13:52 pm
I have a number of his CD. He had a beautiful voice and expressed beautiful emoitions in his songs. His pemature death was, without doubt, a real tradgedy. Most of his success was postumous ... who knows what he could have become given the opporunity.

Photographs and memories
The picture card you sent to me
All that I have are these to remember you
But we sure had a good time when we started way back when
Morning walks and bedroom talks
Oh how I loved you then
