Abundantly good-spirited, musically and lyrically.

Yes, they were quite annoying a lot of the time

but I have always had a soft spot the size of Manchester for this track. Its entire appeal, for me at any rate, is in that little guitar hook - it makes me feel really GOOD whenever I hear it. Please also feel free to enjoy the extraordinary example of the 'Liam swagger' at 0:41.

(And apparently, NG likes it because he thinks you can hear the 'good times' the band was having in the sound of the track. Presumably this is 'good times' within Oasis parameters, however.)

Stevie

Two from Songs in the Key of Life:

'I Wish' and 'Sir Duke' - bursting with good spirit.

I read an interview with Melvin Bragg years ago. He commented that it was a very rare thing to hear unadulterated joy in a recording. His view was that Stevie Wonder, along with Bjork, had the ability to impart that quality through the voice alone.

You can hear it in these tracks - pure joy.

Sitting here fanning myself,

sipping a drink through a straw, Aretha singing "Good Times".
I feel an "AMEN!" coming on...
