and..although it isn'ty really a happy song...it makes me happy In Love with You (First Date)
She Loves Me from SHE LOVES ME. Pure joy distilled to three minutes' length.
Words don't deserve that kind of malarkey. They're innocent, neutral, precise, standing for this, describing that, meaning the other, so if you look after them you can build bridges across incomprehension and chaos. But when they get their corners knocked off, they're no good anymore…I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little.
I can't remember the name of the song from "Fiddler on the Roof," where Motel sings to Tzeitel about how God has given her to him. "Do You Love Me?," also from Fiddler, is funny and sweet -- a definite upper.
"Master of the House" is a pick-me-up from "Les Mis" -- a show that desperately needs a break from the misery.
If you ever want pure musical comedy glee, look up Martin Short or Nathan Lane singing "She Loves Me" on the late show, performing variations on Short's "improbably long note" gag at the end.
