Feelgood tunes

[Calvin]

There are some tunes, that no matter your mood, it's better after hearing them. It's very subjective,  you don't know why and you can't always name them beforehand, but you know when it happens.
This one came over the radio today, lucky for me I was alone so nobody was subjected to the bad white man dancing that ensued.

I can't believe you're a bad white man. With our imagination, we can see the kind of dancing you are referring to...  were you deliberately alone?

I like Jason Mraz's "I'm yours"

People nowadays talk of simplified popular music as the 'three chord trick', but did you notice that Stevie Wonder's song 'Uptight' has only TWO chords?

 Everything else was in the arrangement and in Stevie. That's genius, that is.

[Tom]

Loved Stevie. Loved Carly. Loved Alicia.

Pinky and Perky reminded me of either chipmunks or smurfs... can't tell. Loved them anyway.

Now... PETULA...

Another one, again I don't know why but some tunes just cheer me up.

Good,shoulders swaying, head bobbing stuff. Non-descript video mind you but the best quality sound version.

Looks like Prince Of Wales check, Calvin - I had a pair of 18 inch 'parallels' in that pattern, with 2 inch turn-ups, to go with my Hampden Shirt and Oxblood Doc Martens back in the early 70s. Ah - they don't make 'em like that no more! My daughters wear Doc Martens boots now, with 16 pairs of eyelets ("16-holers" as we used to call them) - but they also have ZIPs for crying out loud!

[Calvin]

Oh Lord yes, I had my cream (not white mind you) Levi sta-press, I think the checked parallels (Oxford Bags?) came a couple years later.A Ben Sherman shirt with a Harrington jacket, I could never afford a crombie. I had the 12 hole Martens but always preferred wearing "riders", did you guys have those too? The horse riding boots with the strap, or the ones with the elastic on the sides, we used to Oxblood polish them also and had the extra bonus of being able to fill the soles with "segs" (the small metal plates that cobblers used to use to protect shoe soles for those wondering). Either those or the loafers with red, and only red, socks. Good grief, two straight? men discussing fashion, how 'bout that?
Ahh, the joys of youth, and the time when being a skinhead wasn't associated with all the nonsense that it is today.
