One of my favourites is top 8 - “Lovely Day” by Bill Withers.
I like how it is the song at the start of the "School for Scoundrels" movie. It introduces Jon Heder's character - he also played Napoleon Dynamite.
The song Napoleon dances to (Canned Heat) is also in the list:
I plan on checking out all of the songs in the list tomorrow to help prepare me for when I have to go back to my job.
Before I saw that list I also thought East 17’s “It’s Alright” and The New Radical’s “You Get What You Give” but they don’t seem to have the heart that those previous two songs have.
That’s a very comprehensive list! I would add “Love Shack” by the B-52s, “Red Red Wine” by UB-40, “Mary’s Boy Child” by Boney M (for Christmas) and maybe “Itchykoo Park” by The Small Faces. And “The Rain, The Park, and Other Things” by the Cowsills. “I Think I Love You” by The Partridge Family…I find this year holidays so excrutiatingly stressful I am listening to smoooooth jazz on Sirius Radio every day. We’ll trim the tree, traditionally, to the soundtrack of “A Charlie Brown Christmas”. And on January 6, when I finally get to drag the tree to the curb, I may just play some of my Broadway show tunes to celebrate.
