Something that makes me instantly happy

This song.

It is literally impossible for me to be in a bad mood after hearing it. I loved The Kids in The Hall growing up to the point of near slavish devotion - I used to stay up just to catch it when it aired at ass o'clock on Friday night (and i mean ass o'clock - if there was a game on or something, it wouldn't air until goddamn 1am). but something about the theme song specifically has stayed with me all these years*, even if the sketches themselves have faded from memory**

The band who performs it is called Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet and the song is called "Having an Average Weekend", if anyone's interested. To be fair, I didn't realize the song had an actual name until five minutes ago. The More You Know™.

This post may or may not have anything to do with me discovering, queuing and watching the show on Netflix...

* could be an mp3 file I've had since my second year of college?
** except for the Chicken Lady sketches. wtf.

OMG SQUEEE! I LOVE SMOASP! I've seen them a zillion times. <3<3! OH OH! My favorite thing was running into them at The Corn Palace in South Dakota! Early 1996. They were in the tourist shop and I totally ran up to them and squeeeeed all over them. It was awesome, they gave me a comb from their new (at the time) band "Phonocomb" and I fangirled them to distraction. It was before Reid Diamond got sick. *swoon* I loved them!

Ha! I was just watching some KITH for the first time in months and months. Bruce apologizes for causing all that cancer.

That's how I feel when I hear the theme song for The State.

FINEST COMEDY SHOW IN THE UNIVERSE.

Another glee-bringer! The image quality is crap, but it's about the song, yo!
