Songs that Make You Smile

Driving home last night, flipping radio stations, I heard the Proclaimers' "500 Miles". It made me smile -- hadn't heard it in ages. This morning driving in, I heard George Strait's "All My Exes Live in Texas". It reminds me of a bad karaoke experience (I can't sing worth a flip), and smiled at the memory.

Anyone else with the same experience?

A few songs come to mind...

Wanted Dead or Alive - Bon Jovi
Thunderstruck & Moneytalks - AC/DC
Let's Get Rocked - Def Leppard
Beer For My Horses - Toby Keith

Not that they're my all-time favorites, but they're songs that I'll turn the radio up a little more and try to sing along to if it's just me and the road...

Violent Femmes - Blister in the Sun...

You could say that "I Get Knocked Down" song would also be on my list...

Ah, I still love that song. Gotta love a group named "Chumbawamba".

New Radicals - You get what you give

Modest Mouse - Float On

Not necessarily a huge Modest Mouse fan, but if this song doesn't bring a smile to your face and a tap in your foot, you just might be dead.

Yep, That is a great song.

Republica - Ready to go

I remember somebody picked this song up for a commercial, but can't remember who.

Cruisin' - Smokey Robinson
Canned Heat - Jamiroquai (that song in Napoleon Dynamite)

Hey Bulldog - The Beatles
Honey Pie - The Beatles

Hang On Sloopy - The McCoys. Bman...give me an O-H...

Lovely Rita - The Beatles

My ever changing moods - The Style Council

"In My Secret Place" -- Magnetic Fields
"I Know What I Know" -- Paul Simon
"Keep the Car Running" -- Arcade Fire
"No Rain" -- Blind Melon (keepin' it Lafayette local)

Silence of the Lambs related:

"Lotion" -- Greenskeepers
"Goodbye Horses" -- William Garvey/Q Lazzarus

Feliz Navidad. It's not even my favorite Christmas song, but for some reason, it makes me smile.

The Smoke Off - Shel Silverstein

Kinda funny thinking back to reading and listening to Shel Silverstein in elementary school. "The Giving Tree"
