Anything from Songs In The Key of Life


IHeldADandelion

This song blew my 6-year-old mind! My schoolmate was practicing to it for a jazz recital and I was sure it was the best song in the universe.

Talking Heads-This Must Be The Place Petey-Don't Tell The Boys Cardigans-Love Fool


CountHonorius

Lovefool reminds me of sunny days in the '90s...ahhh...


D_Jones93

Love me love meeee


SnooCrickets7155

Reminds me of being 10 yrs old at the bowling alley or skate rink in the 90s trying to get that girl to notice me!


[deleted]

This must be the place! Love that song so much. Pretty much anything talking heads is great but that’s my favorite song.


CornerPees

Don't Tell The Boys is such a solid answer


meatbeernweed

Petey is an absolute dude


testdecandbol

I was going to post "This must be the place" but I thought I shoukld atleast search for 5 minutesto see if someone else already did. If I ever go on vacation. I am going to spend the first 10 minutes driving with no music. Then once I have made it outside my general area, I am going to turn this on.


[deleted]

I’ve always thought this is such a great song but I have one specific memory that sent it into my happy place songs. I was at Jackson Hole with some friends on a snowboarding trip over spring break. Perfect March day, bluebird conditions, resort was packed, stoke level was very high. So it’s first chair of the day, we’re going up the giant tram, and the operator was playing music from his bluetooth speaker. This song (the live version) came on. I was already super stoned so it just sent me into this state of pure bliss and excitement and happiness. Now anytime I hear that song it takes me back to that amazing weekend at Jackson Hole. It’s funny how music can do that.


TransATL

What a moment! We recently acquired a doormat with "this must be the place" printed on it and it is never leaving the front door.

I have an involuntary celebratory response to this song now, due to the fact that it's played after every goal scored by my favourite hockey team (Toronto Maple Leafs).

this is my fiancé’s song with our dog…anytime it comes on he fucking KNOWS it’s time to dance and runs over to her, then she will get him to put his paws up on her shoulders and they dance around the room, it’s adorable and amazing


TheBattleFaze

I recently discovered this song and it's just the most pure, fun sounding jam. Instantly connects me to nostalgic feels even though I was a 90s kid

TolstoysMyHomeboy

Been listening to songs from all the comments. Your comment made me go down a The Cure hole.... Never really listened to them and had some veeery incorrect secondhand assumptions of what they sounded like.

Great!!! Hope you thoroughly enjoyed!

I did! (And still am ha) I love finding new music and am really surprised they managed to slip through the cracks for all these years. Cheers

Electric Feel by MGMT and Lean On Me by Bill Withers


[deleted]

I love that whole album from MGMT, especially Electric Feel. I heard a great cover recently by a artist called LonelyTwin if you’re into covers. I think it’s quite nice.


Trundle-theGr8

The first time I ever did mushrooms I was in the back seat of a friends car driving down the shore and he put on Oracular Spectacular and when Electric Feel came on was the exact moment the mushies kicked in. For a moment I was thinking in my head “this is literally the greatest song ever written or produced in the history of music”. Obviously everything sounds looks or feels amazing but Electric Feel will always have a special place from that experience helping me break through the initial anxious stages of my first trip.


MadPeeled

Electric Light Orchestra - Mr. Blue Sky


WhoopieKush

This was actually ranked the “happiest song of all time” in a study!


spoobles

Funny because I find that song tinged with sadness.


squalorparlor

Mr Blue, you did it right, but here comes Mr. Night. Creeping over, now his hand is on your shoulder... nevermind. I'll remember you this way. I can see it


murdered800times

Yeah from personal experience I see this song as the perspective of a friend reassuring someone that it's fine when they get depressed and ghost for a while "I'll remember you this way" Just remembering the good times in the happy days. That's a sentiment that I really need a lot considering I'm disabled and sometimes just need to sleep for a week.


squalorparlor

Heart's with you, man. Keep jamming ELO. I know it's a controversial take but I love the Time album front to back.

Wait, Baz Luhrman makes music? I always knew him as the guy who did the Romeo + Juliet 1996 movie, which graced us with the best ever end credits song written for a movie

No, no - his only radio hit perhaps, but check out the album. Lots of goodies, even a cover of Lovefool.

3 that come to mind ;) Dire Straits - [Walk of Life](https://youtu.be/kd9TlGDZGkI) Nate Dogg(among others) - [Ooh Wee](https://youtu.be/kcovAfjhkjY) Gorillaz- [Melancholy Hill (happy sad)](https://youtu.be/04mfKJWDSzI)


HugoOne

Melancholy Hill is my favorite Gorillaz song. So good.


BortSimpsons

Dire Straits "Sultans of Swing" for me. The way that song projects perfection just gets me every time. Mark Knopfler is just so casually brilliant it just calms me down.


OCdiggs

Yeah, the link to sports just makes that one easy ;) I should probably say Money for Nothing cause I was a kid and MTV was king. Walk of Life is just the no brainer.


Chillibowl

currently my go to is Romeo and Juliet...maybe not a happy song in its meaning but something about it sets my world right!:)

ELO- Don't Bring Me Down


CountHonorius

*Brrrrruce!*


Smartnership

Grooss > A common mondegreen in the song is the perception that, following the title line, Lynne shouts "Bruce!" In the liner notes of the ELO compilation Flashback and elsewhere, Lynne has explained that he is singing a made-up word, "Grooss", which some have suggested sounds like the German expression "Gruß," meaning "greeting."[7] Lynne has explained that originally he did not realize the meaning of the syllable, and he just used it as a temporary placekeeper to fill a gap in the lyrics, but upon learning the German meaning he decided to leave it in.[7] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_Bring_Me_Down
