I'm pretty depressed today. Anyone recommend some happy music to listen to/learn?

Need to keep my mind off of something, and music helps.

I'm thinkin' something light, no metal. Classic is good, Hip-hop/r&b, not so much.

Thanks.

"Happy Together" as performed by Leningrad Cowboys. (Not the 2006 version). I defy anyone to not be happy while/after hearing this.

Damn near any Primus song should do the trick! Also, check out some Ron Thal!!!

Doing it right now. Going on something of a downloading binge for the night. Better for you than drinkin'.

Peanut Butter Jelly Time

and early AFI (i.e. first 2 CDs...)

one word: manamana (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4668196322523357460)

You should be able to tell by the song titles that these will be happy tunes!

2 Orf Thal 5:24
3 Scrapie Thal 3:06
4 Blue Tongue Thal 3:38
5 Limberneck Thal 1:16

10 Rinderpest Thal 4:16

12 Fistulous Withers Thal 7:34

Broken social scene *throws CD's*

and....

Chelsea dagger by the Fratellis (it goes "doop do be doop de be doop" if you want to sing along)

Beethoven's 6th.
The Pastoral always lifts my spirits, especially Karajan conducting the Berlin Symphony ;)

"I wanna be sedated," by the ramones. Has helped a tad.

Oh, if you have access to the Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest soundtrack, listen to "Dinner is Served". towards the end, enjoy the silly sounds of a pirate being pelted with melons.

I remembered that scene and chuckled. Congratulations, the mission of this thread is done. Thanks man.

Rhapsody. :)

Oh, yeah, also, listen to "Institutionalized" by Senses Fail. It's hilarious...


And "Insane in the Membrane". Cypress Hill, of course.

Everybody should listen to Broken Social Scene forever and stuff.

They're splitting up though :(

I can't stand that song. It was used in a beer commercial and drunks everywhere were chanting it for about four months. But they didn't know the words, of course.

Ass & Titties by DJ Assault, too. It's funny 'cause of the "Gay Lanscaping Service" from Chappelle Show...

Fenway Park in Boston kicks ass, doesn't it?

Love going there.

Yeah, apparently they're splitting once they've finished their current tour.

Makes me even more glad I had the semi-religious experience of seeing them live for 2 1/2 hours :)

Anything by Bob Marley would be appropriate. There is no such thing as depressing reggae.

What? "Redemption Song" is a fairly sad tune (although, it's not actually reggae).

Been listening to a lot of Marley. Its helping. I like music. Quick and simple way to change how I feel. Maybe I'm simple for having that easy a fix, but whatever.

beetles are the best to listen to if your sad their songs are so nice.

I found a song "So happy together," that says its by the beatles, but I don't think so. It helped some.

First verse goes "Imagine me and you, I do...I think about you day and night."
Know of it?

Just a clever ploy to sell more ablums, neh?

I've often felt like I use music as a form of emotional masturbation ;)

Thats right happy together is beetles. Try others to Day tripper has a great base line. Get back has a good beat. lucy in the sky with diamonds is a fun drug song. Hey jude makes me feel all fuzzy Ob-La-De Ob-La-Da is a good one to Sarge and pepers is good all that and many many more. I love the beetles.

I think I just blew an emotional load.

And you feel better for it too, neh? Very cathartic it is ;)

Beatles are great, but "Happy Together" is still Turtles :cool:

I'm thinkin Inquiry is right. One hit wonder? Never heard anything else by them.

Mmm-hmm.

...did you get "neh" from Ender's Game?

Oh, no, they had many hits! Still tour today! Google "Flo and Eddie" ;)

Right again, Bean!

Oh, and if you want an oddly uplifting song (actually, two songs), go here:

See? If it works, don't knock it. If being complicated means you can't get yourself out of a blue funk, I'd just assume to be simple.:)

That's like finding my very first copy of Playboy. That's where the emotional masturbation all started for me. Never knew there was a video to go with it.
"There is no dark side of the moon, really. As a matter of fact, it's all dark."

you're quite welcome :)

I think I'm gonna shoot myself...volume doesn't work on flash or you-tube or any of that.

Today is just not my day.

Don't shoot yourself... just delete your cookies and cache.
I had the same problem with youtube, and that fixed it. (Or maybe it was when I deleted my Macromedia plug-in...)

Anyway, one of those things cleared the problem right up for me...

Look at it this way: it means tomorrow has to be better. If it's not, then you missed a perfectly good opportunity to appreciate today.

I suggest Bananphone by Raffi. If you don't hate it, you'll absolutely love it. "REMember" by Corky and the Juice Pigs is hilarious. I bet you'd like it. Oh, and "American Hair Bands" by Tuff.

Umm, how about no? Bananaphone is on a short list of songs that make me want to claw my brain out of my skull whenever I hear it.

Well, if you were to shoot yourself, then we'd get no more posts with the ZAM spam in your sig. I do really dislike that smiley.
But don't shoot yourself on my account.
But you could change your sig ;)

I've been meaning to change it...just my initials...whatever though.

Kind of an obscure Donovan reference is it?
Coooooool :cool:

Dancing Queen by Abba.

Thank you. I read it on an old tombstone near my house dated in the 1890's.

Always remembered it. People in RI have a funny thing about death; a doctor in a nearby town is currently buried under a boulder with "This is on me," engraved on it.

Sounds like the epitaph for a stoner ;)

Nah...he was a doctor, I think.

Hmph. CCR's "Down on the Corner" always works. It makes you tap your foot. Subliminally.

Heck, why not just a whole bunch of CCR? Great stuff! Snappy and upbeat ;)

"Have You Ever Seen the Rain" makes me feel all sentimental.

Its from hey jude O and so happy together is the Turtles im sorry i thought it was the beetles but i googled it and sure enough.

Just about anything from Blumchen, some of Rollergirl's stuff. Track down old happy hardcore. Japanese band Judy & Mary should work.

Eraclea']Rhapsody. :)

Who?

Oh... you meant Rhapsody of Fire..

Get with the times, man! :p

"For the king for the land for the mountain
For the green valleys where dragons fly
For the glory and power to beat the dark lord
I must search for the Emerald sword!"

Pathetically cheesy... Yet so much fun.

Umm, how about no? Bananaphone is on a short list of songs that make me want to claw my brain out of my skull whenever I hear it.
That's you. It's kinda catchy.:p

Phish is always good happy music.....

Bob Marley and Peter Tosh work too......
