Cheesy songs that put you in a good mood.

[Pacifist Patriot]

I can't help it. The song "Centerfield" by John Fogerty never fails to bring a smile to my face and a lift in my spirit. I was never a baseball player and I only follow results in the post season. Yet every time I hear it I feel the sun on my face and smell fresh cut grass. How sickeningly sentimental is that? You may have guessed that Spring training has brought the song some airplay. I've heard it twice in the car in three days.

Do you have any songs you think are cheesy but lighten your load?

2. 59th St Bridge Song

The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feeling Groovy)

Slow down, you move too fast.
You got to make the morning last.
Just kicking down the cobble stones.
Looking for fun and feelin' groovy.
Hello lamppost,
What cha knowing?
I've come to watch your flowers growing.
Ain't cha got no rhymes for me?
Doot-in' doo-doo,
Feelin' groovy.

Got no deeds to do,
No promises to keep.
I'm dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep.
Let the morning time drop all its petals on me.
Life, I love you,
All is groovy.

8. Cheese Alarm by Robyn Hitchcock

Roquefort and grueyere and slippery Brie
All of these cheeses they happen to me
Oh please

Rough pecorino and moody Rams Hall
Stop me before I just swallow it all
Oh please

Somebody ring the cheese alarm
Oh please
Somebody ring the cheese alarm

Goats' cheese cylinder, tangy and white
Roll over me in the flickering night
Oh please

Chaume and Jarlsberg, applewood smoked
"The pleasure is mine," he obligingly joked
Oh please

Somebody ring the cheese alarm
Oh please
Somebody ring the cheese alarm

Hey now, Fletcher, don't keep me up late
I can't even fit into size thirty-eights
Oh please

Juddering Stilton with your blue-blooded veins
You can't build a palace without any drains
Oh please
Oh please
Oh please

Half the world starving and half the world bloats
Half the world sits on the other and gloats
Oh please

Truckle of cheddar in a muslin rind
Would you give it all up for some real peace of mind?
Oh no.
