I was listening to a 80's radio station on the internt and a song came on i have not heard since i was 8 that made me smile, start singin, and dancing in my chair.
I remember it from my first trip to OZ. Xmas late 80's
Just come in from a morning swim with my cousens in the pool in the garden, coming into the house, with a vid cam on us all and this just startin on the radio. We all started running round the room and singin it at the top of our lungs. Xmas fun all around.
It just came all back to me  and i know when im down, i can play this and it will make me smile. My aunty is over from oz nxt week, and she was there as well. Wil take it and see if she remembers as well
Edit to say song is Beach Boys - Kokomo, not a fan of em, but this song is amazing

"Polly" by Nirvana
Polly wants a cracker
I think I should get off her first
Maybe she wants some water
To put out the blow torch
Isn’t me
Have a seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Hurt yourself
Want some help
Please myself
Got some rope
Have been told
Promise you
Have been true
Let me take a ride
Hurt yourself
Want some help
Please myself
Polly wants a cracker
Maybe she would like more food
She asked me to untie her
A chase would be nice for a few
Isn’t me
Have a seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Hurt yourself
Want some help
Please myself
Got some rope
Have been told
Promise you
Have been true
Let me take a ride
Hurt yourself
Want some help
Please myself
Polly said
Polly says her back hurts
She’s just as bored as me
She caught me off my guard
’mazes me the will, of instinct
Isn’t me
Have a seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Hurt yourself
Want some help
Please myself
Got some rope
Have been told
Promise you
Have been true
Let me take a ride
Hurt yourself
Want some help
Please myself

Cool - Gwen Stefani
Its her latest single and really has a good sound to it. Reminds me of some of the 80's greatest music.
All Star - Smash Mouth
This is one of those songs that when it comes on the radio, I just can't change the station...
Sailing - Christopher Cross
Reminds me of flying. To be honest, most things remind me of flying.
I Can Only Imagine - Mercy Me I can only imagine, what my eyes will see, when your face is before me... The Christians will know what I'm talking about.
Good Riddance - Green Day
Reminds me of the good old days of high school. Things were so much simpler back then.
That just what I could come up with off the top of my head.

Isn't the song about suicide? "It's something unpredictable but in the end it's right. I hope you had the time of your life"!!! Great lyrics, nothing would make me happier!
Just kidding...
My songs are mostly French songs... Un Type Bien by Manau Le Temps des Cathedrals by Garou (part of the show "Notre Dame de Paris") Symphony no. 9 from the New World by Antonin Dvorak
And others that I can't think of at 1:36 in the morning...

Love him or hate him, in my opinion, the greatest song ever written is
Billie Jean - Michael Jackson
That bass line....Does it every time.
Along with Beat It, Thriller, and Black or White.
Away from Michael Jackson, how about She Drives Me Crazy by the fine Young Cannibals? Thats a good song, also I like Black Betty.
I came, I saw, I Concorde! RIP Michael Jackson
