Revision

We all want to be happy … right? Well, I am of the belief that music can sometimes drag you out of the abyss of a bad mood. So, what I am asking you to do is this … My kind, gentle, loyal readers: please post a comment with your happy music. It could be one song. It could be a whole bunch of them. I don’t care. I am looking for new happy songs for my iPod’s “Happy Music” list.

I know, for example, Mimi loves Elvis. And I am certain at least one of his songs puts a smile on her face. I’d like to know what that is. Kerber always has a ton of songs and great ideas. Kelly has already given me two discs worth of stuff. Jason, if you’re out there, perhaps you have some. Leigh Ayn? Aunt Vicky? Penny? Andre? Carlo? Roma? Nana Jan? Gigi? And…

Ye, who have not been named. Step up to the plate and post your songs.

Here is my “Happy Music” list in the order they appear on my iPod:

• “Allegria,” The Gipsy Kings
• “More than a Feelin’,” Boston
• “Got to Be Real,” Cheryl Lynn
• “Dragostea Din Tei,” O-Zone (yes, that song)
• “Give a Little Bit,” The Goo Goo Dolls
• “Green-tinted Sixties Mind,” Mister Big
• “I Melt With You,” Modern English
• “Let’s Groove,” Earth, Wind and Fire
• “When It’s Over,” Sugar Ray
• “The Crush of Love,” Joe Satriani
• “Dancing Queen,” Abba
• “Let’s Get It On,” Marvin Gaye
• “The Breakaway,” The Zambonis
• “Strip and Go Naked,” Alex Lifeson
• “Amber,” 311
• “Slide,” The Goo Goo Dolls
• “Friends in Low Places,” Garth Brooks
• “La Copa de la Vida,” Ricky Martin (oh be quiet!)
• “Hockey Monkey,” The Zambonis
• “Mr. Brightside,” The Killers
• “Prime Mover,” Rush
• “Hey There Delilah,” Plain White T’s
• “I Wanna Drive the Zamboni,” The Zambonis

Come on now! I’ve shared my list. Post yours — or just one song. I don’t care if it’s Richard Marx, if it makes you happy, use the little comment link below and tell me about it…
