"Don't Give Up." A favorite of mine.



I believe it's actually called "Time Bomb," but I could be mistaken.



It's by Smash Mouth.

Here are some of my favorites...

"Heart and Shoulder," Heather Nova
"Heart of the Wound," Sara Lovell
"Riviera Paradise," Stevie Ray Vaughan
"Little Wing," Stevie Ray Vaughan
"Nature Boy," Nat King Cole
"I'll Be Seeing You," Sonny Stitt
"Cliffs of Dover," Eric Johnson
"Fumbling Towards Ecstacy," Sarah McLachlan
Anything by Me First and the Gimmee Gimmees
"What the World Needs Now is Love," Wes Montgomery

Queen - You and I

I have a playlist on my computer actually entitled 'Happy Feelgood Stuff'. Here's what's on it:

Oh! - Sleater-Kinney

Waterloo - Abba

Adding N to X - Add N to X

Stand - REM

Top of the World (yes, a cover of the Carpenters song) - Shonen Knife

Sparky's Dream - Teenage Fanclub

1,000,000 Kisses - Half Japanese (I offer continual prayers to the gods of outsider music that this will never end up used in a mobile phone commercial, because you just know some bright spark advertising exec would get that idea if they ever heard it...)

Lithium - Nirvana

Son of a Gun - Vaselines

Peaches - Presidents of the USA (and there are a LOT of other Presidents songs I could put on that list - like 'Kitty' and 'Lump' and 'Love Everybody' and '**** California'...)

I would also add 'Love Shack' by the B-52s, 'Learn to Fly' by the Foo Fighters....there's a whole bunch of stuff. That'll do for now.

Hard to limit them; it depends on mood and wish, but here are my favourites at the moment:
Irish Rovers: ”Lily the pink”, ”The orange and the green”, ”The biplane, Ever more”
The Brobdingnagian bards: ”The unicorn song”
Mike Curb congregation: ”Together, a new beginning”

Yeah, I’m weird

Beethoven: Ode to joy
Mozart: Turkish march
Weird Al Yankovic: Most of his music, especially ”Jurassic Park”, ”The night Santa went crazy”, ”Yoda”, ”Achy breaky song”, ”Amish paradise”, ”Lasagna”, ”Melanie” and ”The good old days”
Most of the tunes from ”Schnappi und seine Freunde”
The Blood hound gang: ”I hope you die”, ”Hell, yeah”, ”The bad touch” and more.
Lots of the Smurf versions of pop music.
Blue Swede: ”Hooked on a feeling”
Hot butter: ”Popcorn”
Joe Dolce: ”Shaddap you face”

BTW, if you think his voice is familiar, it's the original voice actor of Jiminy Cricket.
