Yeah, especially "Dress Rehearsal Rag"; perfect for playing on Christmas morning.


Now Santa Claus comes forward,
that's a razor in his mit;
and he puts on his dark glasses
and he shows you where to hit;

You gotta love that sh*t.

In general Mike Oldfield has more albums that make me happy than any other artist. There is both a seriousness and playfullness that comes across at times. Amarok sticks out most in that respect. That would be my ultimate 'happy' album. Not sure I could do a list that includes a load of different artists in truth.

Echolyn - As the World
Eno - Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy
Ethos - Open Up (the laughing intro to "Pimp City" always cracks me up)

Giles Giles & Fripp - The Cheerful Insanity of Giles Giles & Fripp (The Saga of Rodney Toady)
Gong - Camembert Electrique
Hatfield of the North - The Rotters Club
IQ - The Lost Attic (the song "My Legs" = ROTFL)
King Crimson - Live in Detroit 1971 (King Crimson Collecters Club CD - when they play the 12-bar blues version of In the Court... I can't stop laughing)
Pink Floyd - Piper at the Gates of Dawn (whimsical Syd always makes me smile)
Primus - Frizzle Fry (how can you listen to Les Claypool sing and not feel good?)
