| Faux-happy
I love the effect of a song that's supposed to be happy or has a happy sound, or at least is not sad, when you're in a situation that completely sucks and the song somehow draws attention to the situation and how much reality sucks. Like when "Forever Young" is playing during the dance in Napoleon Dynamite and his date has ditched him and he says "She probably just went to the bathroom." Anbody know what I mean? List is examples. Tell me any others you know of. | | 1 | Alphaville
Forever Young | | 2 | Cher
Just Like Jesse James | | 3 | Cyndi Lauper
Time After Time | | 4 | David Bowie
Life On Mars? | | 5 | Bryan Adams
Heaven | | 6 | Scorpions
Wind of Change | | 7 | Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Soft Shock (preferably acoustic) | |
