So you had a bad day

Recently, my friend WIGSF did a post about happiness.  You can read about it here.    He was talking about a song that made him happy, and it made me think about a particular song that my daughter sings that makes her happy too.  And drives me crazy.  And makes me happy. 

See, it’s a silly song, a cute song, a fun song and she sings it with much joy and abandon.  It really makes her happy.

And that’s a beautiful thing.

But she plays it over and over and over and over.  That drives me crazy.  The song, not her singing!

I smile anyway, because I’d rather she sing and be happy.  That’s part of the mom rules.   

On the plus side, she can carry a tune, unlike her mother, and that is also a beautiful thing. 

This too shall pass, and I will miss it when it’s gone.  So for now, I’m going to enjoy the cute. 

I’m pretty sure that once you hear it, you’ll have a happy too.  I recommend that you limit your listening to once a day, however.  Unless you’re 6.  Then you can listen to it however many times you like. 

Where is the moment we needed the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to grey
They tell me your passion’s gone away
And I don’t need no carryin’ on

You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You’re faking a smile with the coffee to go
You tell me your life’s been way off line
You’re falling to pieces every time
And I don’t need no carryin’ on

Cause you had a bad day
You’re taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don’t know
You tell me don’t lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don’t lie
You’re coming back down and you really don’t mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Well you need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don’t need no carryin’ on

You had a bad day
You’re taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don’t know
You tell me don’t lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don’t lie
You’re coming back down and you really don’t mind
You had a bad day

(Oh.. Holiday..)

Sometimes the system goes on the blink
And the whole thing turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know
That you could be well oh that strong
And I’m not wrong

So where is the passion when you need it the most
Oh you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost

Cause you had a bad day
You’re taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don’t know
You tell me don’t lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You’ve seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Had a bad day
Had a bad day
Had a bad day
Had a bad day
Had a bad day

Friday Funnies

They walk among us

My sister has a lifesaving tool in her car; it’s designed to cut through a seat belt if she gets trapped.  She keeps it in the trunk…
They walk among us.

One day I was walking down the beach with some friends when someone shouted…. "Look at that dead bird!"  Someone looked up at the sky and said… "Where???"
They walk among us.

I couldn’t find my luggage at the airport baggage area.  So I went to the lost luggage office and told the woman there that my bags never showed up.  She smiled and told me not to worry because she was a trained professional and I was in good hands.  "Now," she asked me, "Has your plane arrived yet?"…
They walk among us.

 

Okay, I don’t actually live with morons in my home, but trust me, if you’ve ever driven anywhere in the Chicagoland area, you’ll know there are plenty enough around here to make me feel like I live with them.

 

This is a song that came to mind while I was putting this post together.  I remember it was kind of popular back in the mid-late 90s.  The line about the tires always cracked me up, and the one about fishing, too.  :)  I tried to find the video of the song, and I picked the one that said it was from Warner Brothers.  Not being able to watch videos, I can’t vouch for it, so if there are any problems with it, I apologize. 

Here’s Your Sign

I Just hate stupid people
They should just have to wear a sign that says "I’m Stupid"
That way you wouldn’t rely on them, would ya?
You wouldn’t ask them anything, "Excuse me? Oh never mind, I didn’t
see your sign.

It’s like before my wife and I moved from Texas to California, our
house was full of boxes, there’s a U-Haul truck in our drive-way.
My friend comes over and asks,
"Hey, you movin?"
"Nope, we just pack our stuff up once or twice a week, just see how
many boxes it takes"
Here’s your sign
 
(chorus)
Why can’t they get the picture
Why don’t they understand
We’re not dealing with the planet of apes
We’re talkin’ ’bout the modern man
So you people with the mitsy, bitsy, teensy, weensy, tiny minds
Here’s Your Sign
Here’s Your Sign
 
A couple of months ago, went fishing with a buddy of mine, we pulled
his boat into the dock. I lifted this big ol’ stringer of bass, the idiot on
the dock goes;
"You catch all them fish?"
"Nope. Talked em into givin’ up"
Here’s Your Sign

I was out in the front yard, with my boy the other day and he was
playing with his little friend, and he hit his friend, and I went up to him
and said,
"Hey! We don’t hit"
He looked at me like…
"Here’s your sign dad"
 
(chorus) 

I was watching one of those animal shows on the Discovery channel
There was a guy inventing a shark bite suit. There’s only one way to
test that.
"Alright Jimmy, you got that suit on. Looks gooood. They want you to
jump in this pool of sharks, and you tell us when it hurts when they
bite you"
"Well Alright, hold my sign, I don’t wanna lose it."

(chorus) 

Last summer I was on my way home, I was driving around, I had a
flat tire, I pulled my tuck into those side-of-the-road gas stations, the
attendant walks out, looks at my truck, looks at me, and I swear to
God he went,
"Tire go flat?"
I couldn’t resist.
I said "Nope, not at all. I was driving around and all of a sudden the
other 3 just swelled right up on me"
Here’s Your Sign 

(chorus)

We were trying to sell our car about a year ago, guy comes over to the
house, drove the car round for about 45 minutes. We get back to the
house, he gets out of the car, reaches down and grabs the exhaust
pipe. He goes, "Damn that’s hot!"
See if he’d been wearing a sign, I could have stopped him.

(I apologize if the video posted twice, I was experimenting with something in Live Writer.)

Have an awesome 1st day of October!
