30 Days of Music: Day 21
Feb. 1st, 2011 08:44 pmA Song I Listen to When I'm Happy
I can't say that there's any one go-to song that I have for feeling happy, so I'll go with Dinosaur jr.'s cover of "Just Like Heaven" (originally by the Cure. It's fun, it's poppy, it's got a bouncy beat, whether it's happy or not, it sounds like it is, it's got a deliciously fuzzy and crunchy guitar solo, and it's got Lou bellowing out "You!" in the chorus and obliterating any traces of Robert Smith that J. might have left behind. Plus, the freakin' video has Oscar the Grouch and Ernie and a couple other muppets dancing and headbanging along to the music. What's there not to like? Seriously?
