Guest guest9824 Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 So here's some of my favourite happy songs, the story is this:2008 saw one of my proudest moments (other than my wedding and the birth of my three kids) After being a "cant run won't run" person for my entire life, my sis in laws caught me at a vulnerable moment on boxing day (vulnerable because I was soaked in gin hehe) and I agreed if I got a place in the ballot I would do the great north run. fairly safe I wrongly assumed as its incredibly hard to get a place.....alas, I did get a place and the training began. It was a hard slog. At times i felt like quitting but after saying to my oh " do you really think I can do it?" to which his response was "erm.... it's a long way" - (which I knew was only his response to give me the determination to complete it! ) I stuck in and completed my first half marathon in 2h20 mins. I was absolutely overjoyed with the accomplishment and Queen "don't stop me now" is my ultimate great north run happy song :-D other happy songs from my playlist during training were; Atomic - Blondie Good Gone Girl ( in fact any songs by ) Mika Make me smile- Steve Harley The fear-Lily Allen So What-Pink Theme from S-Express Eye of the tiger- survivor Chelsea dagger-the fratellis dont stop believin'-journey enola gay-OMD[/quote Bean just out of interest why 'eye of the tiger'? That song is very special to OH and I it was played at Happy Hour every day when we were on holiday and first met! it was used by the DJ to signify that Happppyyyyy Hooooourrrrr had started! I loved OMD too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy little Vegemite Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Down Under - Men at Work. Mine would be At the River - Groove Armada. Reminds me of my travelling days. In fact all the songs from their album Vertigo take me back to beaches and endless blue skies (mostly in oz). These days I quite like the Hot Dog song at the end of each Mickey Mouse Clubhouse episode. I much prefer the hot lava song from jake and the Neverland pirates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plimthing Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 'This Charming Man' by the Smiths. Always be a happy song for me. It reminds me of a time when i was young free and single with my brothers and cousins in a nightclub in the West Midlands. Unfortunatley one of them was tragically taken away from me in a horrific work accident and we, as a group, will never reproduce that fine night out. Wished you never went to work that day Ben................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthumbrianDavid Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) I'd like to compliment the fine taste of the people who said: crowded house - weather with you Big IZ - over the rainbow Men at Work - Down under goo goo dolls - Iris pearl jam - alive You know who you are and you're awesome. And I would add the following: REM - Imitation of Life Housemartins - Happy Hour James - Laid Edited March 18, 2014 by NorthumbrianDavid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
