Music that gets our happy juices flowing!!

[louttrim]

ooo now this is much easier than the sad songs thread!

Carmen (continuing the opera theme)

pretty much anything I can dance to - I love house music (sorry, I know it's not really 'music' but it makes me happy!)

Prokofiev 'dance of the knights' - so dramatic and passionate! One day I *will* be able to play this...

Afternoon Delight - Starland Vocal Band
the finale of "Carnival of the Animals"

Claim to fame warning::::::: I met Ed Stewart in 1976, I was in hospital and he was visiting the children there to either cheer them up, or drive them over the edge he was lovely. He asked me if I would like a signed record and I asked for 10cc "Good Morning Judge", so he gave me Jethro Tull "Solstice Bells" instead which was a good move, as I've loved Jethro Tull ever since.

Love,
Jan

Awwwwwwww......... that's such a sweet story. My only claim to fame is getting in David Beckham's way at Old Trafford in 1998.

The only famous person I saw was Graham Norton. Me and a friend saw him drive right past us as we were crossing the road somewhere in Covent Garden! He looked really moody though!

and I once saw Michael Fish ( weather man from the 80s ) once...but hes hardly what you would call a celeb.

Some other HAPPY tunes I love:

Chopin's ' Butterfly Wings' Etude, its so stupidly happy, I love it!

and his ' Harp' Etude...

[Moonlight]

And if anybody else can think of another pop song that contains the word imbecile then I will buy that person a pint of finest Irish old 'n' filthy!

"Imbecile! The Emperor would shoot you for disrupting his wedding with this news..."
Queen, Flash Gordon

Pint of Rebellion from Marlow, please; none of that foreign stuff!
