Hello, my dear friends. I'm very pleased you've found my blob's new address.
Mike often encourages people to sing more songs, and I've found that it helps me whenever I feel sad. If you're feeling blue, sing a happy song out loud. People might think you're going round the bend, but don't let that worry you.
I love singing that old favourite, Happy Days are Here Again.
Happy days are here again
The skies above are clear again
So let's sing a song of cheer again
Happy days are here again
I also enjoy singing that catchy Disney tune: Zippity Doo-dah
Zippity doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay
My, oh my, what a wonderful day
Plenty of sunshine headin' my way
Zippity-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay
