Can’t help it … This song makes me happier whenever I listen to it. ;)

I know it’s not a “real” song, but it still makes me happy, because it’s so dang cheerful and the video is, like, the embodiment of having a sense of humor. ;D

NOTE: I like the lyrics to this one a little bit more than I like the song itself, and I have no clue what it’s really about, but I like it for my own reasons. ;D

Standing there alone
the ship is waiting
all systems are go
are you sure?
control is not convinced
but the computer
has the evidence
“no need to abort”
the countdown starts

watching in a trance
the crew is certain
nothing left to chance
all is working
trying to relax
up in the capsule
“send me up a drink”
jokes Major Tom
the count goes on

4 3 2 1
Earth below us
drifting falling
floating weightless
calling calling home…

second stage is cut
we’re now in orbit
stabilizers up
runnning perfect
starting to collect
requested data
what will it effect
when all is done
thinks Major Tom

back at ground control
there is a problem
go to rockets full
not responding
“hello Major Tom
are you receiving
turn the thrusters on
we’re standing by”
there’s no reply

4 3 2 1
Earth below us
drifting falling
floating weightless
calling calling home…

across the stratosphere
a final message
“give my wife my love”
then nothing more

far beneath the ship
the world is mourning
they don’t realize
he’s alive
no one understands
but Major Tom sees
now the life commands
this is my home
I’m coming home

Earth below us
drifting falling
floating weightless
coming home…
Earth below us
drifting falling
floating weightless
coming home…
Earth below us
drifting falling
floating weightless
coming coming home…
home…..

It’s not where you start, it’s where you finish.
It’s not where you’re from, it’s where you’re at.

Everybody gets knocked down,
Everybody gets knocked down,
How quick are you gonna get up?
How quick are you gonna get up?
Everybody gets knocked down,
Everybody gets knocked down,
How quick are you gonna get up?
Just how are you gonna get up?

Like Ali in the jungle,
Like Nelson in jail,
Like Simpson on the mountain,
With odds like that, they were bound to fail
Like Keller in the darkness,
Like Adams in the dock,
Like Ludwig Van, how I loved that man, well the guy went deaf and didn’t give a damn, no…

It’s not where you are, it’s where you’re going,
Where are you going?
And it’s not about the things you’ve done, it’s what you’re doing now,
What are you doing now?

Everybody gets knocked down
Everybody gets knocked down…
