Several of their songs are on the Little Miss Sunshine soundtrack.<BR/>Oh! And Express Yourself by...looking it up...Charles Wright and the Watts...it's on itunes. Our four year old niece wildly expresses herself while listening to that song.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16776226.post-37358983540840489242007-03-12T08:25:00.000-07:002007-03-12T08:25:00.000-07:00ooh - ok i'll make a cup of tea for this...right, ...ooh - ok i'll make a cup of tea for this...<BR/><BR/>right, down to business:<BR/><BR/>if you want something gorgeous and happy and wonderfully eccentric to listen to with yr kids, i strongly suggest a various artists compilation called fuzzy felt folk.<BR/>it's delish. and i don't even have kids!<BR/><BR/>* talking heads - found a job<BR/>* euros childs - bore da (LP)<BR/>* anything by the four brothers<BR/>* field music - you're so pretty<BR/>* gwen stefani - bubble pop electric<BR/>* kinks - village green preservation society (LP)<BR/>* rufus wainwright - oh what a world!<BR/>* prince - oh sheila<BR/>* the smiths - london<BR/>* 5,6,7,8's - woo hoo<BR/>* belle and sebastian - lazy line painter jane<BR/>* crosby, stills, nash and young - our house/marrakesh express<BR/>* bowie - soul love<BR/>* general public - tenderness<BR/>* os mutantes - baby 1971<BR/>* jane weidlin - rush hour<BR/>* george michael - faith<BR/>* human league - fascination<BR/>(i feel i am slipping into teenage 80's mode now..oh well..)<BR/>* i'm from barcelona - we're from barcelona (so cute - limited lifespan)<BR/>* johnny cash and june carter - darling companion<BR/>* johnathan richman and the modern lovers - hey there little insect<BR/>* judee sill - jesus was a crossmaker<BR/>* kelis - milkshake<BR/>* kelly-marie - feels like i'm in love (there's nothing kitschier!)<BR/>* lemonheads - outdoor type<BR/><BR/><BR/>um..this could go on for some time..i might just email you a few.<BR/>heck emi, if you email me an addy - i'll make you a cd!!Nicky Peacockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14599975961223778125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16776226.post-19161788926749694432007-03-12T03:02:00.000-07:002007-03-12T03:02:00.000-07:00I understand how individual the "cute or happy" fe...I understand how individual the "cute or happy" feeling is, so I realize this list may anger and confuse some people. On the other hand, if the song clicks with the listener it can be instant access to cloud 9. <BR/><BR/>"Sweet and Dandy" - The Maytals (The Harder They Come soundtrack)<BR/><BR/>"Train to Skaville"- The Ethiopians <BR/><BR/>"Trash" - The New York Dolls<BR/><BR/>"Wear Your Love like Heaven" - Donovan <BR/><BR/> (in fact the first 3 songs from the album "A Gift from a Flower to a Garden")<BR/><BR/>"Taper Jean Girl" - Kings of Leon<BR/><BR/> "Panda" - Dungen (I have no idea what they are saying, but I like it that way.)<BR/><BR/>And for the truly weird and wonderful:<BR/><BR/>"Do You Think I'm Sexy" - (covered) by Tiny Tim (1920s Vaudeville style)<BR/><BR/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-N_jlF-sRqk<BR/><BR/>The video should be ignored, but the song is adorable to me. <BR/><BR/>Oh and of course anything (more or less) by Belle and Sebastian. The album 'Push Barman to Open Old Wounds' is a good mix! The first song "Dog and Wheels" is snappy. <BR/><BR/>In the sisterhood that is Marc Jacobs worship, I salute thee!Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02181104022953329319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16776226.post-20178770142034526292007-03-11T14:23:00.000-07:002007-03-11T14:23:00.000-07:00matt & kim "yea yeah"björk "triumph of a heart"matt & kim "yea yeah"<BR/>björk "triumph of a heart"prince edwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08216278150655765272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16776226.post-46147526944034799502007-03-11T11:50:00.000-07:002007-03-11T11:50:00.000-07:00oh just get yourself a copy of basement jaxx the s...oh just get yourself a copy of basement jaxx the singles -
