...but, there's always something there to remind me...of an 80's tune! (♥ that)

Toto (band) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toto_%28band%29) -- Africa

Thanks. I needed that. =)
('Specially with getting all "uptight" about the Westboro Bunch and The 'British' Riots and whutnots*.)

*"Whutnots": a.k.a. "whatnots"; a.k.a. "etc. (and so forth)"; a.k.a. "Other Stuff Outside of Your Circle(s) of Influence and Concern" a.k.a. etc. ad infinitum . . .

Please accept, in advance, my apology for any inferences (on [your] part) involved in a.k.a. Number Three, above, that [you] might have involved Mormonism. Thank [you]. Again. =)

Edited to Add:
(Speaking of Africa . . . This is from the '60s ("radical") film "If" (about a riot at a British Boarding Skool.) I liked it so much that I bought the Vinyl Version. Back in the Day. Of course, way back then, there was no video to accompany the music. It (the music) makes me feel as good as listening to the Books on "Tape" series of "The First Ladies Dectective Agency" . . . =)

Murray Head -- One Night in Bangkok (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Night_in_Bangkok)

Apparently, I need to re-define my personal interpretation of "Feel Good" music . . . =)
That one was a bit too "cerebral" with too little emphasis on Tsunamis [directed at] Thailand.

(Sorry . . . Accidentally "channelled" that 700 Club Guy--which is pretty much the opposite of "Feel Good Music" even in the Text Version, doncha know. =)

Kate Bush (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dreaming_%28song%29) -- The Dreaming

"...The song is about the destruction of Aboriginal homelands by white Australians in their quest for weapons-grade uranium. Musical guest Rolf Harris plays the didgeridoo on the recording. Bird impersonator Percy Edwards provided sheep noises. The original title for the track was "The Abo Song", which unwittingly made use of a racial slur; promotional 12" copies were circulated before being recalled..."

That was a fascinating movie which I remember very well. I also bought that album. This was the iconic song from that album which was featured in the movie:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqwyiFDnhXo&feature=related

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0vzHSPmTfE

Here's some music from the 21st century.

This tune is from one of my favorite albums of all time. (And I'm not just saying that because I read in an interview with Herbie "The King of Jazz Flute" Mann--about the same time that I bought it--that it was way up on his "Listening List.")

There isn't a "clunker" on it. It's mostly moody and melancholy, but this particular cut always makes me feel good.

It also reminds me of a set of circumstances--back in the day--that brought me to the back room of a local "businessman" who was also a part time/amateur fence for stolen stuff. Among the stolen "goods" stacked in that room was a turntable. On the turntable was a copy of this record. It made me feel very sad to see that . . . in a way that is difficult to understand or explain. I suppose it has something to do with empathy for a person who appreciated this record as much as I did getting ripped off.

Anyway, the up-side, feel good part of that little aside is that the "businessman"/"hobby fence" eventually got busted for his part in the misdeeds. Remembering that makes me feel good too. =)

And here is one by one of the best comedians of all time.
From what I understand, he recorded all the vocals on this tune.
Listen closely to the lyrics . . .
(P.S.: The actual 50's were just a bit before my time. I was only 8 when they ended and only started really listening to the radio a year or two after that.)

Melanie Safka (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melanie_Safka) -- Alexander Beetle

Yeah, she's a sweetie. Speaking of roller skates...It's not really worth sitting through the whole song, IMO, but this makes good use of Roger Miller's sentiment.

The Ecstasy of Gold -- Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ecstasy_of_Gold)

One of the great songs of all time and banned (!) on many radio stations. 'Je T'Aime Moi Non Plus' by Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin. These two video versions includes video clips and still photos of the beautiful Jane Birkin.

Curious if anyone remembered the 1969 Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg song I posted?
It's the post right before this. Jane is beautiful in the videos, but the song itself is a beautiful and the tune very catchy.

Yeah, "Jane Birkin/Serge Gainsbourg" is a great album. I always liked "Histoire de Melody Nelson" too.

Charles Aznavour -- What Makes a Man

CHARLES AZNAVOUR Biography (http://www.lyricsyoulove.com/c/charles_aznavour/biography.html)

"...his compositions, although considered tame by any modern standard, were regarded as too risqué for French radio and were banned from the airwaves for a decade or more, from the late '40s through the end of the 1950s; American publishers seemed equally reticent about them, as he discovered on a visit to New York in 1948.....A teetotaler and a racing car enthusiast, Aznavour has been married three times and has three children..."

I agree, 'Jane Birkin/Sege Gainsbourg' is one of my favorite albums.
'Bonnie & Clyde' another favorite from Serge Gainsbourg w/ Brigitte Bardot:

This one can be either a "feel good" or "feel bad" song, depending upon how you look at it . . .

And here is a Shel Silverstein Classic that I used to sing in bars out on The Wild East Side, "Back in The Day" (and that actually has about thirty verses . . .)

...negative, Ghostrider -- created 2 videos of the dancers (just not sure where they're located at the moment).

Okay.

Someone should pay that guy to come out to dance at the Devon Tower opening ceremony. We can get William to film the show. The guy lives in Texas, if Pete can somehow contact him and arrange payment and performance. :-)
