I know a lot of attractive prog songs are dark and gloomy. But I'm looking for some happy and cheerful songs. I think some ELP songs can be one like Hoedown. Could you please share some with me! Thanks.

Pink Floyd's song sounds little bit plaintive to me. It's beautiful though.
I think I'll like "Turtles Have Short Legs". If only it's little longer!

Thank you!

I Think I'm Going Bald by Rush.  Always manages to make me laugh, especially when I consider how much hair Geddy Lee still maintains...

But such a sad, dramatic song... a poor guy trying to come to terms with the feeling he should have been a women and stuck in an ultramasculine job environment.

Heartbreaking story, really Cry
