How about time to lighten up ?  8)

Case in point : Look at my avatar, always smiling, an absolute bundle of joy day in day out... hmm...

I am actually grinning from ear to ear with those two :

Which works/records in that vein just make you grin silly and foot tapping ? Let's have them.

I guess I'd usually go with jazz, but this one here fits the bill:

Es wollt ein meydlein grasen gan:
Fick mich, lieber Peter!
Und do die roten röslein stan:
Fick mich, lieber Peter!
Fick mich mehr, du hast dein ehr.
Kannstu nit, ich wills dich lern.
Fick mich, lieber Peter!

But also, almost all of Dvorak's mature chamber music!

"hey, they made a movie about
Mahler, you ought to go see it.
he was as f*cked-up as you are."

Actually I'm listening to this, and it is putting a smile on my face: Donna Diana, (or as I like to call it, The Sgt Preston Overture).

Romantic era overtures put me in a good mood.

Yvonne Printemps started at the Folies Bergères at age 15, as Mademoiselle Printemps.  Sacha Guitry, playwriter spotted her, became her impressario and married her.  From there on she had an international carrier as lyric soprano and actress.  She was at her best in comic opera repertoire.

This on is OOP but the Thunderbolt P-47 (American WWII fighter plane) tribute is awesome.

Veit Bach-a baker who found his greatest pleasure in a little cittern which he took with him even into the mill and played while the grinding was going on. In this way he had a chance to have the rhythm drilled into him. And this was the beginning of a musical inclination in his descendants. JS Bach

I don't like happy stuff--it just makes me sad (except for Strauß waltzes!! (I also like the ess-tsett (and parentheses)), sue me!)

Oh my god, I love Stravinsky's Scherzo a la Russe. That truly is an infectiously happy piece. I played it in college (orchestral version, not jazz band version) and the whole orchestra was headbanging. Good memories.

My picks for this thread:

Beethoven's Op. 133 -- A fugue so bad that even Beethoven himself called it "Grosse".
