Fun, happy, bouncy music

[johnjohn320]

I'm kind of putting together of music that you just have to smile and "bop" or bounce to, if you know what I mean. All genres. To give you a taste of some of what I've got so far:

Duke Ellington-Jump for Joy
Dexy's Midnight Runners-Come on Eileen
Eric Whitacre-Noisy Wheels of Joy
Ben Folds-Fired
Barenaked Ladies-If I had a Million Dollars
Aliotta, Haynes and Jeremiah-Lake Shore Drive
Beck-Sexx Laws
Tori Amos-Happy Phantom
Charles Mingus-Moanin'
David Grisman Quintet-Dawgnation
Martin Ellerby-Paris Sketches
Mr. Bungle-Ma Meeshka Mow Skwoz
Otis Redding-Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay
"Antz" Soundtrack selections
The Polyphonic Spree-Soldier Girl
Beatles-Octopus's Garden
And of course lots of Frank Zappa

As you can see, I'm getting everything from classical/orchestral to rock to jazz to weird or whatever. I've got a lot more in mind, but this is all I could remember for the time being.

So how bout you guys, what makes you smile?

Ah yes..

How about The English Beat (and the band they later morphed into, General Public; check out their self-titled song "General Public"). And if you really want to "bop", try Cyndi Lauper's "She Bop"..

Bis - What You're Afraid Of
