The Happiness Hour Theme Song - Lyrics by Alan Miller

This is the theme song that Dennis Prager uses on his Happiness Hour every Friday.

The song is "Apples and Bananas" by Lawrence Welk and his Orchestra - 1965

Just for the hell of it, I decided to write some lyrics.

The Happiness Hour Theme Song with Lyrics (by Alan Miller)

Lyrics:

You can brood
If you are in a crappy mood.
But gratitude
Will get you a new attitude.

Life is not an easy thing for anyone.
Very often it's just not a lot of fun.
But you'll drive an awful lot of folks away

If complaints
Are all
You've got
To say.

So here's a tip.
That just might help you get a grip.
Here's what you
Should take the time to listen to.

It's the Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy Hour. (Yes it is!)
It's the Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy Hour.
And you might even smile - at least for just a while.

(Interlude)

Yeah here's a tip.
That just might help you get a grip.
Here's what you
Should take the time to listen to.

It's the Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy Hour. (Yes it is!)
It's the Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy Hour. (Yes it is!)
It's the Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy Hour. (Yes it is!)

It is just
An hour.
But has
The power -

To erase
The gloomy look that's on your face.
Good attitude
Will come from feeling gratitude.

It's the Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy Hour. (Yes it is!)
It's the Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy Hour.
So please for Prager's sake -- Engage in give and take.
Life's not a piece of cake.
So cut yourself a break.

Thanks for posting this. Dennis Prager is so wise.

[Trendyphobe]

I agree. He imparts so much wisdom every day. I love those Prager University clips.

[misplacednewyawker]

There have been studies that prove that people that believe in EXTERNAL INFLUENCES are less intelligent than logcical thinkers. I will take those studies seriously. In all seriousness, Prager Happiness hour is interesting radio, but it does show his bias toward the right and than I have to question why he even has this happiness hour.

[Trendyphobe]

I think he has the Happiness Hour for two main reasons. The issue of happiness has always been important to him. That's why he wrote a book on happiness about 15 years ago. He truly believes that we all have a moral obligation to at least act - if not be - as happy as possible for the sake of others. The more practical reason that he has The Happiness Hour is because of how popular it is with his listeners.

[Trendyphobe]

The Happiness Hour was his first dedicated Hour.  At this point in time he has 2 other dedicated hours - The Ultimate Issues Hour (on Tuesdays), and The Male-Female Hour (on Wednesdays).

Now Now . You do not sound too happy to me ,calling me a moron . My only point was is that to stereotype one side of the political aisle as unhappier than another , shows me that Prager has an agenda. Religious right are just as unhappy as the far left Peta folks. That is my point. At least I can be objective.

[Trendyphobe]

Prager and I are the same age. This country is a completely different country than the one we grew up in. And that's not a good thing in my opinion.

[nakedBison69]

if more people regularly listened to Dennis Prager's talk radio show, this country and world would be a far better place

[lonniedc]

I am held hostage to right wing radio because of the fact that when I work there is not much to listen too. I will usually resort to sports or an occasional talk show on NPR. I will say this. I am probably one of the few dems that enjoy the happiness hour by Mr. Prager.

[hrseymama1955]

Good job Adam...I was always curious about this song. And your lyrics are perfect.

[MarketAndChurch]

Wasn't there another happy hour theme song before they moved to this? I think it was a beetles song, but I don't remember which, does anyone know?

[username400400]

this is crap



[albertoodio]

I've put your song on my ipod. I sing along with Dennis every week. It's a kick!

[JosherBoy24]

*yawn*

[princetrumpet]

Alan, that was hilarious. Well done.
