My mother could break into a song relevant to any given situation. Often helped to lift spirits on rough occasions (more often just made me mad) Given the recent goings on here I thought it might lighten the mood if we made some requests on Radio TMP (Tragic Music Pisstake) This is The Lonely Hour with DJ War Panda starting the show with Chicago and "if you leave me now" |

Ok… If your doing requests. War – any version, but Springsteen preferred. |

Several hits by The Smiths seem suddenly very appropriate. 'William, It Was Really Nothing' 'The Boy With The Thorn In His Side' 'Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now' 'Panic' 'Bigmouth Strikes Again' |

The tune played by Papageno in "The Magic Flute" "That music's so pleasant, that music's so beautiful Tra-la-la-la la , la la, la, I've never heard anything so beautiful, all you want to do is sing and dance. Tra-la la la la, la, la-la-la." The evil Monostatos and his henchmen exit stage left doing a happy cake-walk.
It really is one of the most charming and beautiful tunes ever, and one DOES want to just dance and sing after hearing it. Others to think of "Just a spoonful of sugar…" and of course… to put you in a good mood. MacNamara's Band Oh, me name is MacNamara, I'm the leader of the band Although we're few in numbers, we're the finest in the land We play at wakes and weddings and at every fancy ball And when we play the funerals, we play the March from Saul Oh, the drums go bang and the cymbals clang and the horns they blaze away McCarthy pumps the old bassoon while I the pipes do play And Henessee Tennessee tootles the flute and the music is somethin' grand A credit to old Ireland is MacNamara's band Right now we are rehearsin' for a very swell affair The annual celebration, all the gentry will be there When General Grant to Ireland came he took me by the hand Says he, "I never saw the likes of MacNamara's Band" Oh, the drums go bang and the cymbals clang and the horns they blaze away McCarthy pumps the old bassoon while I the pipes do play And Henessee Tennessee tootles the flute and the music is somethin' grand A credit to old Ireland is MacNamara's band Oh, my name is Uncle Julius and from Sweden I did come To play with MacNamara's Band and beat the big bass drum And when I march along the street the ladies think I'm grand They shout, "There's Uncle Julius playin' with an Irish band!" Oh, I wear a bunch of shamrocks and a uniform of green And I'm the funniest lookin' Swede that you have ever seen There is O'Brians, O'Ryans, O'Sheehans and Meehans, they come from Ireland But, by yimminy, I'm the only Swede in MacNamara's Band Oh, the drums go bang and the cymbals clang and the horns they blaze away McCarthy pumps the old bassoon while I the pipes do play And Henessee Tennessee tootles the flute and the music is somethin' grand A credit to old Ireland is MacNamara's band Lyrics found link |

I think "Dazed and Confused" by Led Zeppelin might work… …or "Changes" by Black Sabbath… …ot "Undertow" by Lush… |

Whenever life gets you down, Mrs. Brown, And things seem hard or tough, And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft, And you feel that you've had quite eno-o-o-o-o-ough, Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving And revolving at 900 miles an hour. It's orbiting at 19 miles a second, so it's reckoned, The sun that is the source of all our power. Now the sun, and you and me, and all the stars that we can see, Are moving at a million miles a day, In the outer spiral arm, at 40,000 miles an hour, Of a galaxy we call the Milky Way. Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars; It's a hundred thousand light-years side to side; It bulges in the middle sixteen thousand light-years thick, But out by us it's just three thousand light-years wide. We're thirty thousand light-years from Galactic Central Point, We go 'round every two hundred million years; And our galaxy itself is one of millions of billions In this amazing and expanding universe. Our universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding, In all of the directions it can whiz; As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know, Twelve million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is. So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure, How amazingly unlikely is your birth; And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere out in space, 'Cause there's all down here on Earth! |
