Feel Good Songs

I’m a fan of BBC Proms and this year they had for the very first time the comedy proms hosted by the comedian Tim Minchin who composed some very funny pieces of music.

One of my favourites was the F sharp song

Also loved the appearance of the Beardy Man whom I love, wish he would come to my town to perform ‘Cough, Skegness, cough’

And a short sketch by The Boy with Tape on his Face which I thought was brilliant.

I didn’t get the comedy aimed at the upper classes, personally didn’t find it funny but it does go to show that the BBC comedy Proms has something for everyone

A sappy song maybe, but I dare anyone to listen to ‘You are My Sunshine’ and not feel happy

I’ve included two versions of You Are My Sunshine the original that we all know and love and the band Terrafolks version which is a little bit different.

We heard this song played live at the Skegness SO Festival in 2009 and I’ve liked it ever since, be warned it’s not for the faint hearted, a girl in the SO Festival crowd near to us got freaked out when she heard it, me I love it

I love Traditional Folk music and in honour of St Patrick’s day I’ve put together some videos to get you in a Irish mood for a party.

I hope you have fun celebrating St Patrick’s Day and stay out of trouble

This Post is for Stephen G. Willmer.

we met Stephen locally and we got to talking, I told him about my little Good Karma blog, after visiting my site he said he can’t help but think of the happy song when ever he visits my blog.

I think the song is either Happy Talk or Get Happy by Ella Fitzgerald , if there not I’ll have to keep looking for more happy songs

This is for you Stephen enjoy

Happy Talk song by Ella Fitzgerald Lyrics

Happy talk
keep talkin’ happy talk

Talk about things you’d like to do.
You gotta have a dream
if you don’t have a dream
How you gonna have a dream come true?
Talk about a moon floatin’ in the sky

Heard this song on Raising Hope the TV show and thought it sounded fun.

Lyrics to ‘Do Wacka Do’ by Roger Miller Lyrics

Well I hear tell you’re doing well good things have come to you
I wish I had your happiness
And you had a do-wacka-do-wacka-do-wacka-do-wacka-do
They tell me you’re runnin’ free your days’re never blue
How I wish I had you good luck charm
And you had a do-wacka-do-wacka-do-wacka-do-wacka-do
Yeah I see you goin’ down the street in your big Cadillac
You got girls in the front you got girls in the back
Yeah and way in the back you got money in the sack
And both hands on the wheel and shoulders rared back rip-pip-du-aa
I hear tell you’re doing well…

Since we are all being affected in some way by the world recession that the banks have caused and knowing how much stress and misery it can cause hard working people,

I thought I would share this song with you all to let you know your not alone.

The song is by the Folk Band Show of hands, called Arrogance, ignorance and Greed.

I hope it cheers you up a little in these hard economic times and the next time you have to visit your bank manager play this load on your MP3 player, to help give you a moral edge .

Buy this Song From Show of Hands on i-tunes or Amazon and Stick it to the Selfish Elite.

We love the TV show Big Bang Theory, we’ve been avid fans since it first came on to British TV screens

We all enjoy singing along to the bare naked ladies song Big Bang Theory on the opening titles on the TV Series, but all of us would fill in the words we didn’t know with la, la la , so for the past week we all got together and have learned the words to the Big Bang Theory.

We’ve been singing it every where on our daily walks, in the kitchen or just joining in when someone else is singing the Big Bang song without noticing I woke up this morning singing it and when my hubby woke up 4 hours after me (he works late) he was singing it

Halloween is my favourite seasonal holiday and even at Christmas I like to halloween it up a little

While I decorate our tree and put up the Christmas lights I like to listen to The Crypt Keeper album “Have Yourself a Scary Little Christmas”.

The whole family sings along to the Crypt keeper Ghoul tide, one of the best CDs I’ve ever brought.

My personal favourite song from the Crypt Keeper album has to be “Deck the Halls with parts of Charlie”

All of the songs though on this album are brilliant and funny.

Lyrics to Deck the Halls with Parts of Charlie

I got triple joy with this post.

I love the song, I adore Pon and Zi cartoon characters and my son has learned to play Jason Mraz’s song I’m Yours on his ukulele.

Fills me with joy when I see Pon and Zi they make me smile.

Jason Mraz’a song I’m yours is a sweet little ditty that makes you bob along to the music as well as being a happy song to hear.

Best of all is that my son has only been playing the Ukulele for 4 weeks and to top it off he’s good at singing for a little one

My son is Learning to play the Ukulele and he’s learning the song Somewhere over the rainbow.

This version sung by Israel “IZ” Kamakawiwo’ole has a beautiful melody.

I remember this song mainly from the Wizard of OZ sung by Judy Garland, I have fond memories of walking down the street happily singing Somewhere over the Rainbow when I was small, but I think Israel “IZ” Kamakawiwo’ole is a more harmonious version and it makes you feel happy and chilled out.

Ooooo oooooo ohoohohoo
Ooooo ohooohoo oooohoo
Ooooo ohoohooo oohoooo
Oohooo oohoooho ooooho
Ooooo oooooo oooooo
Ooooo oooooo oooooo
