Thanks, Dex. Very good choice for the 10th sad song.

I was thinking about another theme today and then I thought, "what would sad songs be without Leonard Cohen"? So I'm going to run this one up to 12 to correct that omission.

OK, let's do 10 that are happy or fun or funny
I'll start with Mark Ronson's version of Happy Together. I think the original was by The Turtles.

3. Big Hat, No Cattle - Randy Newman
Since I was a child I've tried to be what I am not I've lied and I've enjoyed it all my life I lied to my dear mother To my sisters and my brother And now I'm lying to my children and my wife
Big Hat, no cattle Big head, no brain Big snake, no rattle I forever remain Big hat, no cattle I knew from the start Big boat, no paddle Big belly, no heart
Can't remember why I do it Oh, maybe I can An honest man these days is hard to find I only know we're living in an unforgiving land And a little lie can buy some real big peace of mind Oftimes I have wondered what might I have become Had I but buckled down and really tried But when it came down to the wire I called my family to my side Stood up straight, threw my head back, and I lied, lied, lied
Big hat, no cattle Big shoes, well you know Big horse, no saddle He goes wherever I go Big hat, no cattle Right from the start Big guns, no battle Big belly, no heart
When it came down to the wire I called my little family to my side Stood up straight, threw my head back, and I lied, lied, lied Lied, lied, lied
Big hat, no cattle Big head, no brain Big snake, no rattle I forever remain Big hat, no cattle I knew from the start Big boat, no paddle Big belly, no heart Big boat, no paddle Big belly, no heart
