I have no excuse other than I am a procrastinating plebeian.
In order to keep myself blogging and getting into a routine I am going to do a few blogs in the style of the Facebook '30 day song challenge'.
First up the interweb is telling me to find my 'favourite' song. YIKES!!
Favourite ever song?!
That is a tall order.
iTunes tells me
that my most listened to song is Rosie by Young Rebel Set
It's a good song even if it spreads nasty rumours about someone who shares my name, but it's definatly not my favourite of all time. I would get tired of it after a while.
My favourite song would have to be timeless, have brilliant lyrics as well and a fantastic tune and conjure up positive emotions/thoughts etc.
Therefore I have chosen a song that was released in 1968 by the Small Faces on the Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake concept album. The album is without a doubt my favourite album of all time and this song just simply makes me happy. You can't help but dance like a cockney geezer to it and I defy anyone to not find it gets stuck in your head.
The b-side, which holds my song of choice, is a fantastically crazy and humourous fairytale about the adventures of Happiness Stan. Combined with the accompanying narration delivered in marvelously crafted gobeldegook by Stanley Unwin, it is something I never tire of.
Without anymore gushing about it, my favourite song is 'Happy Days Toy Town' by the Small Faces
'Life is just a bowl of All-Bran
You wake up every morning and it's there
So live as only you can
It's all about enjoy it 'cos ever since you saw it
There aint no one can take it away.'
