There are many songs I love – too many to mention or even count, I suspect. Like everyone, I love particular songs for various reasons; memories they evoke, lyrics I can identify with, tunes that are hummable. However, there are just a few songs I love for no other reason than that they make me smile. They may not be particularly deep or meaningful songs, and most of them don’t hold particular memories for me, but they do bring me a certain sense of joy. I can’t really tell you why, because I don’t really know. I just like them. Well, yes, some of them are quite silly. Here is a selection of such songs/tunes. There are more, but these are the ones that came to mind most easily:
Longest Time (Billy Joel)
Beaker’s Ode to Joy (Beaker Beethoven)
My Spirit Sang All Day (Gerald Finzi)
All I Want for Christmas is You (Mariah Carey)
Singin’ in the Rain (Gene Kelly)
I hope they made you smile a bit, too.
‘Ode to Joy’ and ‘Singing in the rain’ are two of my favorites, also!
Have a wonderful day!

Thanks!
Very good selection of videos and they definitely made me smile (especially Mariah Carey’s which is hilarious!).
I always laugh when I hear the song ‘Robin Hood, Robin Hood riding through the Glen’.
Firstly because my husband likes it (he used to listen to it at his grandma’s) and his eyes light up whenever he hears it!
Secondly because I think of the story of the young couple getting married who asked the elderly organist to play ‘the theme from Robin Hood’ as they walked down the aisle and he played this! I don’t expect this is a true story but it the idea of it makes me laugh
Hmm, that sounds like an unusual wedding! I think we had the Robin Hood song on a record of children’s songs.
