Tracks that induce a great big spontaneous grin...

Posted by: GraemeH on 25 October 2014

Maybe it's just me, but, just occasionally, certain tracks just induce a great big spontaneous grin. The music and audio coincide perfectly.

 

Latest for me is 'Did I Ever Love You' from Leonard Cohen's 'Popular Problems'.

 

What's yours?

Alone Again Or - particularly the official "live" cut.

 

By the time the faux mariachi section comes in I am not just grinning but standing up and applauding with the crowd.

Great choice, although the opener on the album strikes me as even more tongue in cheek.

 

Billy Bragg can write a great line, either directly funny or amusingly self deprecating.

 

'How can you lie there and think of England when you don't even know who's in the team?'

 

'In the end it took me a dictionary to find out the meaning of unrequited

While you were giving yourself for free at a party to which I was never invited'

 

Lastly the track 'Billy' from the latest Prefab Sprout album 'Crimson/Red'. Just joyful.

Spaccanapoli's O' Rinillo O' Rinello from Lost Souls, on the Real World label; just a wonderful energy boost.

It's kitsch. It's Canadian. And it works every time. I dedicate it to my better half.
