Why isn't there any punk/rock/hardcore songs about just being happy?
looking back on that sentence now, it sounds very ridiculous to me. But seriously, I want one!
I was lookng for a good some so I can post the lyrics on my myspace. You know, that sort of song that represents how you feel?
Well I found nothing.
Don't get me wrong, there are some excellent songs around. It's jsut that most of the bands I love don't sing abouu happy things. You know what I'm saying?
My Chemical Romance, for example. The happiest song I found was All I Want For Christmas Is You, and they didn't write that song.
Thats saying something, isn't it?
so anyway, I thought to myself; How hard can it be to write a happy song?
So i sat down and tried to write a happy song.
It was then that I discovered it is indeed, quite difficult.
So then I figured, well just cause I mainly like punk music doesn't mean I can't like other music. So i searched my playlists, and I couldn't find any songs that weren't the slightest bit sad. At least, none that weren't centered on love.
The ones that I could find were-
Pictures by Sneaky Sound System (But hell, I don't really know whatthat song is about anyway. And yes, I do understand it is about pictures. That's nt really hat I'm getting at.)
U Can't Touch This - MC Hammer (This song loses point for spelling 'you' like that)
Hey Ya - Outcast (Although I can't really understand what he says anyway)
Dancing with Myself - Billy Idol (I don't quite know if this is happy. Dancing with MYSELF sounds kinda gross if you get me, and also it sounds kind of lonely. So This one is undecided.)
If You Like Pina Colada - Jimmy Buffett (Not quite sure about this. It's abotu a guy getting bored of his wife, looking for a new one in the paper and then going ona date and finding out the lady was his wife all along. It's got a happy ending I suppose...)
And the ultimate winners of happy songs from my playlists are:
Good Times - Tommy Lee
and
Pork and Beans - Wheezer.
Good times is about good memories I suppose. It's not about happiness, but it will do. And Pork and Beans isn't really about happiness at all, but it makes me feel so good when I listen to it.
'I'ma do the things that I want to do.'
*Sigh* I love it.
Anyway, It's like being in love is the only thing that can make people happy or something. So I am going to write a happy song. XD (I am assuming this will fail.) I'll post it in a new blog soon.
until then, adious amegous.. (Sp?)
