What songs always put a smile on your face when you are feeling down

Wash' Umkhukhu - Dan Nkosi

Found this one on a CD called Pop Music From Africa that I stumbled across in the 90's in a used record store....Among the best things I ever spent $2.00 on.

Beethoven’s Ninth meets Rock 1985 - Deep Purple

https://youtu.be/vodWKgp71os

. . . Another take on Beethoven. A similar version was done previously by Ritchie with Rainbow as Difficult To Cure, but Ritchie with Purple was more exciting.

There are a lot of classical pieces that are done by rock musicians. I am fond of classical and the rock versions.

One comes to mind "Hall of the Mountain King" Electric Light Orchestra. That piece was done by many. 

Ya know, that might be a good thread to start "Classical by Rock Bands" or something like that, if it hasn't been done already.

[MaVolta]

@Vexed  - Yes, they did! Maybe you should start a topic. It hasn’t been done to my knowledge, and I’ve been here a few years now.

[Vexed]

I think I will @MaVolta . Thanks for the encouragement.

A Fifth of Beethoven - Walter Murphy and the Big Apple Band

[MaVolta]

@EricC227821 - I had to look this one up, but recognized it as soon as it started to play, from Saturday Night Fever!

[EricC227821]

@MaVolta- Never saw the movie...never knew it was on the soundtrack till now...just get a kick out of the tune.  Thanks for the information.  I guess great music really is timeless.

[MaVolta]

Yes! And if Beethoven and Bach were still alive, they would be owed a ton of money! 😂
