Songs that make you happy

[MysticalChicken]

I have an entire tag for this on my last.fm:

http://www.last.fm/user/MysticalChicken/tags/songs%20that%20make%20me%20happy

And I just heard this on my PandoraFM (a mash-up of Pandora.com and Last.fm) station and forgot to tag it as such:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=ohR2f5zrQW0

Also, "Timebomb," "Four-Leaf Clover," "The New Kid," and "Making Love With You", all by Old 97's, should be tagged as well, I just keep forgetting to do that.

13. "Cowboy Bob" by the Butthole Surfers

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHwJwNnYwUg

I woke up this morning
On the wrong side of bed
I had a knife in my back
And I put it back in
Oh my God I was dead
I hope I get to sleep tonight
I never can
I've always got a knife in my back
No matter where, no matter when
