Movie Song of the Week: "The Sound of Music"

In honor of Earth Day, the recent Easter holiday, the start of spring and in order to forget last week's chain of abysmal events, I'm posting the most cheerful song that I have yet to post.

Besides, we could always use a little Julie Andrews in our life at some point, right?

Movie Song of the Week: “A Spoonful of Sugar”

Who couldn't use a person like Mary Poppins at a time like this?

Movie Song of the Week: “My Favorite Things”

I have no idea how this song from 1965's The Sound of Music came to be considered a Christmas song. After all, it says nothing about Christmas or the Virgin Mary or Jesus or even Santa. Yet I've heard it on many a Christmas record and mix tape.

Oh, well. It's still a good song if not exactly one of my -- ahem -- favorite things.

I hope you all like it.
