Songs that are happy but... NOT [More:]
I plan to post a couple here and ask for more from you. But should I yousendthem in the form of MP3s or in the AAC format thet iPod prefers? Or does it matter? Tks.
Mp3s.

"boys don't cry" and "in between days" by the cure immediately come to mind.

Ghaaah. I've got a great one, one of my alltime fave songs, but my connection went down last night. I hope this thread isn't off the page by the time I get home from work.

Lots and lots of They Might Be Giants.

When It Rains It Snows - about a murder
The End Of The Tour - about a girl killed in a car crash
The Pencil Rain - about nuclear war
etc.

"Smile" by Lily Allen. A hateful song disguised in a cheery upbeat reggae-ish tune.

AAAH! Here it is, one of my all-time fave cheery melodies, I can listen to it a dozen times in a row:

They send in the special police

To deliver us from liberty
                  and keep us from peace

May the words sit ill
                  upon their tongues
When they tell us that justice
                       is being done
And that freedom lives in the barrels
                            of a waaaaaarm
                                                    gun

-The Beat[en] Generation by The The (Matt Johnson)

Fuck, man, anything from The The's first album counts too.

"Love is Dead" by the Mr T Experience is the platinum-iridium standard of genre. Anyone who disagrees is wrong.
