30 Day Song Challenge: Day 3 - A Song That Makes You Happy

Kenickie – Montrose Gimps It Up For Charity



Now, admittedly, British bands are my green Kryptonite and female singers are my gold K (God help us both if you get that reference), but still. I’m sure Kieron Gillen’s written a million more and better words about why Kenickie are great, but the best I can put it is that Kenickie perfectly capture the weird mix of sassy glee and deflating self-loathing that come with being a half-clever depression case who still likes getting out of the house and hanging out.

But that’s the big picture, and your mileage may vary anyways.

Sometimes, it’s just a delight to listen to a bunch of British girls (and one dude) get infectiously goofy in the studio, like on this hidden track off At the Club. When that happens, for 2:09, Kenickie are the most chaarrrrming and luvverly band in the wooooooorld, dahling, thank YOU very much, ahahahah.

Runner Up: Bon Jovi – You Give Love A Bad Name. Straight cornbread with a side of Doritos, but I always rock out if it comes on.
