Songs that always put a smile on my face.

Rhythm Bandits
By Junior Senior


This could technically also star in a "Band's I get an entirely unjustified amount of crap for liking" post (along with The Grates and others) but honestly, I don't know any other song that makes me want to dance more than this (with the possible exception of move your feet, also by this band).

Anyway, Junior Senior is kinda known as a gay/straight band, since one of them is gay and one of them is straight. Also, one of them is old and one is young, which I imagine with my Sherlock Holmes level of deduction, is where they got their name from. Which is which is obviously a mystery (except i would be money that the younger one is in fact Junior, and vice versa). Also, it's dancey, it's fun, and I'm not going to let the fact that channel 10 bought the rights and play their songs for every 'trendy' show they are putting on this year ruin it for me.

Also... Rhythm is a ridiculously hard word to spell.

Planet Of The Wolves
By GuitarWolf


This is my "I'm about to kick absolute ass" song. I seriously know no other song that is anywhere near as bad ass or as rockin' as this song is. Play it and run through it now with me:

First section: Long shot of a desert, it pans to some guy in the distance riding a motorcycle, every time a wolf howls its super imposed on the shots...

That first big chord: PLANT OF THE WOLVES is show in big bold letters on the screen...

That bit after the chord but before the rest of the song: I kick in some door and look bad ass.

The rest of the song: Ass kicking.

Underwater's Where The Action Is
By Kelley Stoltz


Ok ok.... Imagine this. The little mermaid (the movie) is remade, but with Muppets, and halfway through the movie there's some party in the middle of the sea. And a young Bob Dylan is there, capable of breathing and singing underwater without the need of any visible breathing apparatus. This would be the song he sung.

Honestly, I don't even know how this song got on my computer... I don't remember d'ling it. I know the boys wouldn't have d'led it and my sister had no idea who it was... It's like the happiest accident that ever happened.
