More fun for the board...songs that crack you up and why!
My plans got canceled, so that's a bummer, but I got a gift on my way home. I was in the store getting the single girl's dinner (frozen pizza) and heard a song that has cracked me up forever. There's a story behind it, but the song is "It's Raining Men." by the Weather Girls.
I have had the same best friend since we were 11, so we've known each other for 24 years. YIKES! Anyway, he is more of a girl than I am and will tell you that his gayer than a $3 bill. He lives in Chicago with his partner so we don't get to see each other often, but when we do, it's laughter 24/7. He's been with his partner, who is the sweetest man I have ever met, for the past 14 years.
The first time I met P, my bff's partner, I went to see them in Chicago when they were in college. We were all getting ready to go out for the night and P put on "It's Raining Men." We all started laughing then we all met in the living room and started dancing to the song together. It has now become a tradition for all three of us to dance to that song when we get together. This includes weddings (we make special requests) vacations, and anywhere else we are.
I started laughing in the store, so I'm sure the girl checking me out thought I was a nut, but I couldn't help it!!! It's been a really good day today : )
So...what's your "feel good" song?

I love the song "It's Raining Men" because I love men of all kinds, ages, shapes, and sizes. It really puts me in a good mood when I hear it on the radio these days because I'm a single gal after 24 years. I have a lot of samplin' to do--when I'm ready. My year of no-new relationships doesn't end until June. Just in time for summer!!!

My "feel good song" doesn't make me crack up with laughter.
But it makes me feel good all the same.
It now makes me smile with happy memories of my late Sister, Linda.
We were best friends up until a few years before she died. *Our song* was "Little Pink Houses" by John Cougar Mellencamp.

We wore out many a cassette rewinding this song over and over.
After she died, I couldn't listen to it, the first three notes caused a great deal of pain.
Now, after dealing with the many issues that surrounded her death and being in Recovery I can listen to it with warm, happy memories knowing that when we meet in Heaven, we will be back together in our Little Pink House in the Sky.
Thank you for making me think of such happy times I had with my Sister.
God Bless & Thank God . . . Just for Today,

"Tiptoe Through the Tulips," by Tiny Tim. Hideous voice, horrible song, and it was in the top-10 back in the 60's. Not to mention the guy looked like asort freak of nature. And he actually married his girlfriend, "Miss Vicky," on The Tonight Show when the late Johnny Carson was host. You had to have been there to appreciate it.

I have 2...the first is "days of the week" sung to the tune of the Addams Family theme song (including a funny tsk sound with your tongue b/c most 5 year olds can't snap their fingers!). My grandson in kindergarten taught me and it's become an ear worm. Also I drive my daughter crazy because I always start humming the theme from I dream of jeanie when I clean house. Now that she's called it to my attention it makes me laugh whenever I catch myself doing it...guess I wish I could "blink" and the work would be done? Trying to break the habit. Maybe I'll try Whistling while I work;-}.Maryanne

I just thought of another one..."Jump for my love" by the Pointer Sisters. I think it puts me in a good mood because my aunt kind of looked like one of the sisters, although she was polish. I miss her lots!

Lots of songs make me go all giggly, for no apparent reason. I find life endlessly amusing. Lately, since seeing "Blades of Glory" it's the black eyed peas' My Humps ("I don't even know what that means!" "Nobody knows what it means! But it's provocative!")
Mr. Blue Sky (electric light orchestra) makes me grin like a looney and sing along every time.

Collective Soul, Better Now.
I hit a really bad time about 3 years ago. _Everything_ went bad. I got into recovery big time. Those people picked me up, dusted me off, and stuck by me like glue. There were several us going thru almost exactly the same troubles. It took us a while, but we all got thru it together. This became our theme song
YouTube - Collective Soul - Better Now
Last Xmas I was back in the ICU, and guess who showed up to help me thru? The same recovery people. The worse it gets for me, the stronger they stand by me. I don't know what God put in these people, but it's something very deep, and very strong.
Better now. This is for all of us that hurt, for all of us that, one day at a time, us that are getting better now.

A great story goes along with my song.
My grandfather had a bunch of old 78 rpm records and I use to like to listen to them when I was a little girl. There was one song and the words were "my bucket's got a hole in it" just sung over and over again.
Many years later when my daughter was five years old, I picked her up at the bus stop after school and I'm singing this silly song "my bucket's got a hole in it...my bucket's got a hole in it". I sing it for a while and finally my daughter rolls her little blue eyes and says "Mooooommmmm...everyone's butt has a hole in it."
I thought I was going to DIE laughing. Just the thought of it makes me laugh my "bucket" off.

You're breakin' my heart
You're tearing it apart so **** you
All I want to do is have a good time now I'm blue
You won't boogaloo,
Run down to Tramps, have a dance or two, ooohhh
You're breakin' my heart,
You're tearing it apart but **** you
You're breakin' my heart
You're tearing it apart, boo-hoo
You stepped on my ass
You're breakin' my glasses too
You won't drive my car, might be a star
I've had enough of you
I'm goin' insane
There's no one to blame so **** you
Instrumental break #1
You can't have your way
There's nothing left to say
There's nothing left to do, ooooohhh
You're breakin' my heart
You're tearing it apart so **** you
Instrumental break #2
You gotta have your way
There's nothing left to say
There's nothing left to do, ooooowww
You're breakin' my heart
You're tearing it apart but I love you
Harry Nilsson 1941-1994
"Nilsson had great vocal range and a pop sensibility that was at turns lyrical and whimsical. He released records in the mid-70s and '80s, but he was no health nut and no stranger to alcohol. He died of an apparent heart attack in 1994."
Pretty sad, but a very funny song. I remember reading a John Lennon interview in Rolling Stone back in the late '70s, Harry and John were drinking buddies, John had quit drinking by this time. Harry apparently never did.

Here's one my mom sang. I'll call it "Do your boobs hang low?
Do your boobs hang low?
Do they wobble to and fro?
Can you tie them in a knot?
Can you tie them in a bow?
Can you throw them over your shoulder like a continental soldier?
Do you boobs hang low?
Don't know where she picked that up.
