At the beginning he's driving around Manhattan with a couple of hookers and saying "Isn't this fun? Isn't fun the best thing to have?"

Not politically correct anymore, but the spirit was so joyous, and I quote that line all the time to defenseless friends.

Oh - that's right. A song. Have to think about that awhile.

A current one that makes me happy is "Call Me Maybe" by Carly Rae Jepsen. I like what I have heard from the other songs on her album, too.

Madonna "Cherish" is another one.

His music, especially his native Brazilian pieces give me a relaxed deep-down good feeling about the world.

Edited to add, I like the little romantic spark in the video between Mark Foster's character and Gabourey Sidibe's character.

It always pisses me off when I hear the first few bars of that crappy Kidd Rock song and think it is it.

Why do the emoticons always throw off the spell check? Shouldn't it be used to them by now?
