20 Feb 2017: Songs that Make You Happy

[RGMike]

Except for the TOTHK by Queen, a collection of uber-LNs, mostly. Pass.

[Davefish]

Not really any need for Survivor. Most other songs are OK.

[Davefish]

Oh, and no Bon Jovi either, please.

[urth]

I'm pretty much in agreement with Dave. Thumbs down on the tigers and prayers, nor was I crazy about the uber-Katrina, but that could have just been a programmed response to its longstanding infamy among our group. Otherwise pleasant, not earth-shattering.

One thing I noticed was that I'm A Believer seemed to be an alternate take; some of the vocal phrasing seemed different than what I know from 80-bazillion spins back when I was 7.
