I associate it with Smiling Friends because of the promo.

[@victoracosta4796]

You need to see a doctor.

[@CascadianRanger]

It's actually a great show for a song like this to be associated with actually. It's a show all about genuinely helping people with their real problems and make them smile. Even though yeah, there's dark jokes or odd shit happens because hey, that's life+it's adult swim+psychicpebbles. But even through all that, the core of the show is so wholesome and the fact all the characters actually seem to sincerely like each other and get along despite their oddities is a nice cherry on top. Even the weird boss, normally the worst person in other shows, is 100% genuine in his want and goal to help people, as well as showing he actually treats his workers very well and sees them more as friends than co workers and underlings.

Same here. Going through difficult times, and sometimes I guess what a person really needs is a little smile in their lives. No pep talk, advices, sad songs, just things that'll turn frowns upside down. Godfried bless those Smiling Friends for making me smile through different ways. I'm not their client, but they sure make me smile.

[@garysloan9793]

Not that it makes my opinion worth any more or less, but as a full-time bassist in a whole slew of genres Leland Sklar is hands down the greatest session bass player of his style and era. Dude always plays what's needed, never plays a note that's unneeded, but has the sensibility and big picture awareness to find the spots of the recording that seriously benefit from some bass busyness- for example, the 3rd verse on this tune

[@mr.tonywilliams1236]

While he may not have written all there are many who don't write any. He has rewritten and rearranged many of his songs making them hits 10 times over what they were originally. This is a very special talent in itself and one that he has mastered like no other. Frank Sinatra didn't write any of his songs.....
