This video of the New Christy Minstrels singing "Follow The Drinking Gourd" never fails to raise a smile...I always forget to bookmark it and then every few months I get a hankerin' to listen to it and it always takes me an age to find...

Life's Been Good, Joe Walsh.  I don't know why, just makes me smile.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNHfuXRTp_4 - Someone's Pinched Me Winkles, Rolf Harris

When I were a lad I bought the "Sun Arise" album by Rolf Harris (who, being a ignorant white southern boy, I knew absolutely nothing about) due to the fact that it had "Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport" on it (which would also work here).  And, natch, after one listening I was near swooning with pleasure.  I just about wore out the grooves on that dang album...in fact, I still have it and have "remastered" it for safe keeping and my own continued enjoyment.  I love just about every cut on it...even the semi-serious one's like "Johnny Day".  My British pals here on the forum might well enlighten me as to just what a "winkle" is as I still to this day have no earthly idea.  But boy do I love this song and, I guess, ol Rolf too.  I've come to understand he's sort of a "novelty" icon in Blighty not unlike our own "Ray Stevens"...yup, love him near to death too (even got to work with him on several occasions). 

In any case, here it is.  Resist smiling, eye-rolling, howling, moaning, gnashing of teeth, or pant wetting if you can.  I know it's still hard for me.  Go figure.

Rolf is a legend. Always loved his Stairway To Heaven. 


A winkle is short for Periwinkle, a small edible sea snail. Some lunatics actually eat them.

Not a obvious artist for making you laugh, but here are a couple unreleased songs by Richard Thompson, its not doom, gloom and the tomb- I Agree With Pat Metheny and Dear Janet Jackson  (mild profanity warning for Janet Jackson)

Edit - both these songs are available as a free download on Richard's website
 
His version of "Oops I did it Again" on 1,000 years of popular music always makes me smile too.

Hi,
 
If you have not heard it yet ... HERD OF INSTINCT .... and sorry ... no it is not the CHB at all! And it is the best thing I have heard in the past 5 years! Review later when I finish gushing all over it!
