Happy Thought #1

In the car on the way home listening to my ipod (this will make sense soon), I thought of a great addition to my blog.... HAPPY THOUGHTS. So today is happy thought #1. I'll be adding these as I think of them and will have a quick link in the header in the future.
I no longer have to have endless discussions on which is the better Canadian band: the Barenaked Ladies or the Tragically Hip.

It's totally these guys...

The Barenaked Ladies

*Still sad that Steven Page left the group.

I was introduced to BNL while I was a freshman in high school by a friend.  I loved them instantly.  Then as a freshman in college, I got to see them perform at the Bradley center with a group of teammates while I was at Marquette.  For years, it was hands down my all-time favorite concert (only recently tied for first with Michael Buble).

I couldn't possibly pick a favorite song, so I tried to pick a song that I really liked and felt exemplifies their "playfulness". 

*Sidenote:  this acoustic version ROCKS!

Ok, one final one. I love this song. (the guy in the glasses is Steven Page, the lead singer that left.)

*Trivia tidbit: BNL sings the theme song for The Big Bang Theory, for those of you that watch that show.
