                Linus and Lucy (1965) Vince Guaraldi Trio

                …always brings a smile! 😄

                Song and dance video…

                Putting this post together–looking for the names of the twin girls and the guy dancing with one of them--I was introduced to 555 95472…5 for short–and the twins, his sisters…3 and 4!

                Here’s a link for the details and background of 3, 4 and 5…

                  @DemhaFeta:

                  You really think so? It always had the opposite effect for me. I just get very emotional listening to some of those songs. I once spent an hour or two walking around an old local cemetery with the song "Here Comes Your Man" stuck in my head. I felt like I could almost cry. Shit was intense. 😢 I'm a miserable cunt, though.

                  As I was leaving the cemetery, I happened to notice a caved-in sarcophagus-like structure (not sure of the technical term for it, but it was like a cement cap over a burial plot, I guess) near the edge of the cemetery with a dead opossum pinned between the broken pieces of cement. That sort of killed the mood.

                  Happy songs… Happy songs... I tend to like stuff that evokes a lot of bittersweet, intense, spine-tingling feelings in me. Calling the effect "happy" seems like a gross oversimplification. More like "overwhelming". But some songs songs I simply consider cheery and energizing without tacking on a lot of excess emotional baggage would be:
                  The Aislers Set - My Boyfriend Could Be a Spanish Man
                  Henry's Dress - Winter '94
                  New York Dolls - Personality Crisis
                  A shitload of Sparks songs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5… (on and on). Sparks cheer me up like no other!

                  And, before anybody calls me a mindless sycophant, I liked those last two for years before I knew Morrissey was a fan. 😠

                    Geez, Teenage Dream by Katy Perry makes me sad too, haha.

                    There's a Pokemon first album song that inspires me.  Billie Piper's Making My Way Any Way that I Can.  Yes, rose from doctor who sang it.

                      I remembered another uplifting song that I really enjoy a couple of days ago:
                      T. Rex - Sensation Boulevard

                      I think it's only sad inasmuch as it makes me reflect on how young Marc Bolan was when he died. I sometimes get lost in thinking about the alternate reality where he never died, and all the songs and albums that never came to be.
