Here’s to the late great Lou Reed (March 2, 1942 – October 27, 2013), a true American original. Who could ever replace him? Who will give us the next “perfect day”?

Chips, chips: Via Con Me, by Paolo Conte
No matter how dark of a mood might ever overtake you, I defy you to not be happy when you hear this song. It’s wonderful…. Chips, chips!
The accompanying video scenes, though unrelated, fit the mood quite nicely. They were taken from the films, “Top Hat” (1935), “Shall We Dance” (1937) and “Swing Time” (1936), starring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.

Smart branding from Lucid Software, a company that makes the Lucidchart charting software. (Just don’t tell the Beatles.)
UPDATE: Don’t adjust your sets! Unfortunately, the Beatles did find out, so the audio track has been muted by YouTube on the video above. So you’ll have to supply your own soundtrack.
