Next up is one of my favorite happy songs from the first movie I ever saw in the theater. When Mary Poppins came out in the early sixties, my mom took my sibs but left me at home. She said, "I couldn't sit through a movie." Having never been to a movie, I pictured high wobbly chairs that one had to balance on, because why else couldn't I "sit" through it? A few years later this gem hit the big screens, and I enjoyed going to see The Jungle Book. Here's Swingdance.
My last happy song comes from a musical. Let's face it, many musical songs make me happy, so it was tough picking just one. My high school put on South Pacific, and the Honey Bun song has stuck with me, so here it is.

Hello Joyce, You love "Celebration", it's one of my old school favorites. And isn't "Swing Dance" to cute - but I'm a big kid anyway. Btw, I didn't choose Pharrell Williams' "Happy" for the same reason you did...I bet no one will pick it, watch. Did you get to sing "Honey Bun" in your school play? Regardless I enjoyed hearing it again. I love South Pacific. Well another week has come and gone. It's like we're all on skates. But I hope this coming week will be a good one. Happy Monday!
Oh my gosh, I forgot all about those. They are such fun songs. They would definitely make one happy! Thanks for sharing. I want to just jump up and hop & jump all over the place! Thanks for the dance sweetie. Sure makes one feel nice and young again! hehehe
Fun. While Celebration brings back lots of memories, the Jungle Book is my favorite on the page.
I enjoyed your choice Joyce LOL thought I would get that bit in first haha!
I remember my parents taking me and my brother to see Mary Poppins when it came out, I was totally chim chimereed :-)
love celebration but my fave out of these is "Honey Bun"...brilliant heheh!
Have a happytastic week ;-)
Celebration by Kool & the Gang is a good one to get happy to! Oh Disney's classic animations always have a song or two that's sure to make you smile and Swingdance is a good one. Honey Bun I haven't heard before, I don't think, but I enjoyed hearing it ~ very cute! Thanks for making smile this morning! :D
Everytime the A's win they play Celebration at the Coliseum. It is a tradition. Love it.
Oh, I loved that song from South Pacific! It is such an uplifting song. I also loved feeding your fish. Have a great week!
Your happy songs made me happy! :)
Never Gonna Wake You Up with Limes or Shattered Glass on this Little Red Wagon with a Tattoo
Love the Jungle Book -- I probably would have picked Bare Necessities. Love that you put a musical number! Great song.
I always thought Celebration was their best song. :)
Happy Monday to you.
