Happiness by David Benoit and Al Jarreau

[Drumroll418]

Amazing how one of the most simple songs ever written, with basically nonsense lyrics can both capture the meaning of this comic/series so perfectly and be so sad at the same time.

And this version just captures the emotion of this song even more than the original, and THAT was already pretty good.

Now if you will excuse me, I have to cry.

This song holds the answer to happiness and the basic point of Charlie Brown. The stories were everyday stories. No one was in danger, no one was violent (except for Lucy), no adult problems such as war, famine, secret agents and the other stuff you see on TV, just childhood problems. And this song (and Charlie Brown in general) makes you look back on those times fondly as you realize that no matter how big the problem seemed at the time, it really was small and didn't mean much.

Love this song,the way it was arranged, and sung!

[agapereign]

I've been looking for this song FOREVER! We used to sing this all the time in grade school.

[marlaqa]

[hoffdavid]

[jarbon5]

[HaroldTaylorOnline]

Everytime i listen to this, i fall even more in love with it.

[oooowwwwdddd]

Al Jarreau is a dick

[astrium]

You must be the opposite then !

[UUAAWW]

if:

A.) Al Jarreau is a dick,

and:

B.) Being like you would be the opposite of a dick,

then:

C.) Being a dick is actually a very positive thing and people should not want to become like you.

[oooowwwwdddd]

I'm so impressed by the way you logically laid out your case against me trying to claim that Im the opposite of a dick. Would that make me a vagina?

Well;

A) I like ice cream.

B) My mommy can beat up your mommy.

C) I have a large smooth perfect peeshee.

D) And you dont.

E) My farts smell like peach trees.

F) Your farts smell like grandmas egg salad.

G) You dont like ice cream.

H) You like spinach and tomato juice.

The song "Happiness" is from the Broadway show "You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown," and it is performed by two wonderful artists: David Benoit on piano, and Al Jarreau onn vocals...

You can find the song on the album "Here's to You, Charlie Brown: 50 Great Years!".

[signorinafanta]

I love everything about Peanuts. Charles Schulz is just brilliant! And the sound track is just as good. I remember listening to this song when I was just a kid. It perfectly captures the true essence of happiness: "it's anyone and anything at all that is loved by you."
