Sunshine, Lollipops And Rainbows

My last post about MUSIC was taken down by a moderator. I was interested in what folks would say, but apparently, it was not appropriate.

So, this time, I'd like to see if there are comments about different versions of the following songs:

"Sunshine, Lollipops And Rainbows" 
"Everything is Beautiful"
"I'm a Believer,"
"Dancing on the Ceiling" and
"Walking on Sunshine."

No strife, discord, bad language, anything negative, please. In this God-given and perfect world, we have nothing but happy things to discuss.

I got a new DAC a few months ago. There seems to be a lot of great choices for any budget these days. 

My dealer delivered my new speakers today so I’m  super excited today.smiley

I just figured there's so many negative vibes bombarding our senses that the world needs more positivity.

Assuming the best and giving others the benefit of the doubt often leads to better outcomes than its opposite. This approach seems to have become quite a rare commodity in these times, so kudos to you for taking the high road.

Just looked at your pics. Looks like a very nice system. I wish I had a dedicated room!  What are you replacing the Maggies with???

BTW, I’m also a Poirot fan!  Zee leetle grey cellz...

Ha! My room. Yes, it’s our den tucked away in the back of the house. My wife is an earth angel and allows me to have the run of the den. She’s amused by my decor choices. 

I replaced the Maggies with….more Maggies! 1.7i——>2.7i. I’ve only been listening for a few hours and they aren’t broken in yet but I can already hear the step up in sound quality.

I devour British TV like it’s going out of style and Poirot is one of my favs. I love not only the character but also the fantastic Art Deco featured.

Commercialization of this ethos helped to create a sense of phoniness and cynicism towards this movement. 

Reminds me of the part of Mad Men when Draper goes to the EST retreat and gets the idea for the Coke slogan. One great book on this was Thomas Frank’s The Conquest of Cool, which explained how corporations coopted "cool" for their purposes. 

is this thread some sort of psychological thought research/experiment you’re working on?

If so, bearing lots of fruit here. And it hasn’t been taken down, so clearly the way to avoid censorship on this forum is to pinch out a smile and let everyone comment.

Was wondering about alternative versions of specific songs, but clearly improvisation is more fun (and easier).

Think of this thread as the monolith in 2001. Touch the monolith and be transformed!
