Listening to the Happy Days soundtrack can be summed up in one word; entertaining. Now, since you probably want me to elaborate, I shall. First reason that this soundtrack was entertaining were the lyrics, paying close attention to them and not zoning out led me to find quite a few lyrics that made me grin and laugh. Mmm mmm linoleum! The other reason I found this experience entertaining was how cheesy some of these songs are. (Some examples are Leopards Are We/ The plaque and Bikini Beauty) because the topics of what they're singing about are so quirky and simple I found it quite amusing.
My Favourite song is The Pink is in Town, sung By Pinkie. It's about when Pinkie comes back in town for a stop on her motorcycle tour. My image of Pinkie is that she has a large personality or presence. I envision her coming back into town as a big deal that everyone would be taking about. When she walks in to Arnolds', people would stop what they are doing to look at her. Some would whisper/gossip among themselves, saying things like "Look it's Pinkie" or "Look at what she's wearing" etc.. Guys that are with their girlfriends stare at Pinkie which makes the girlfriend upset because she is being ignored. More people come in to Arnolds' just get a glimpse of her.
The song I liked the least on this soundtrack was Dancing On The Moon, sung by Pinkie and Fonzie. It's about their relationship and their love for each other. The reason it is my least favourite is because I have little appreciation for slow songs, as in there's few that I do like. Its not a bad song I just prefer listening to faster beats. To make it more engaging you could put a dance beat on this song, like they do with slow songs on the radio. That being said it would probably make it worse, much like the songs on the radio.
Your post really helped me get a better perspective on how I can see Pinky. I agree that she seems to have a large personality. Your post made me crack up! Totally fun to read and I liked reading your opinion as it made me think of another view on Pinky and ways we can make "Dancing On The Moon" more fun! Keep it up, great job!
