either way, radical347 will be happier than the rest of us.

OMFG: our TOTHK is a HFH -- Bobby McFerrin. Yikes.

Does this song actually make anyone happy?

he sounds so medicated.

I think that was kind of the point. Probably not a small amount of irony in mind when they recorded this, although a lot of people didn't get it.

Lol.  I saw him in concert a few years ago and he announced that he specifically does not play that song anymore.

I assume that's because it became associated with the Bush I election campaign. Or maybe he's just goddamn sick of it.

BOS Beetlejuice!

"Roll With It" is not improving things, musically speaking.

that was the movie quote?  I was at first thinking either Heathers or Pump Up The Volume, but I think both are later...
I was hoping for Harry Belafonte after that

You gotta wonder about "Stand".  Was it a response to this challenge: write a dumb song in 5 minutes that starts with "Stand in the place where you live".

Totally agreed...my long-awaited beloved non-60s or 70s year is not shaping up so well so far  :-\

But, HM to the Waterboys!

Can't imagine Bobby was on board with that - I don't recall it in the campaign

That's a caveat to young musicians: be sure you really like the songs you are releasing, because you don't know which of them might become exceedingly popular, and could end up paying your bills for the rest of your life. Which means you'll be playing it for the rest of your life.

Here's yer bustout with the Pixies' "Where Is My Mind".  Unfortunately (for me), this gets played on RadioParadise almost every day.

"Where is my mind?"  -- BOS(4)FRA the Pixies.

ETA: and yup, it's our first bustout so far (iirc, the McFerrin was played in a HFH set).
