Mefi Mixtape Help! I'm currently in love with "The Swimming Song" by Loudon Wainwright III. Does anyone have suggestions for songs that are equally fun, carefree and generally badass? I tried the iTunes Genius playlist but it failed. Thanks in advance.

Loudon's never done anything for me but I'll suggest Nick Lowe's I Trained Her to Love Me.

Cody ChestnuTT's Look Good in Leather (fun, but explicit)?

parachutes by shugo tokumaru


many Of Montreal songs have similar vibes.

i.e. brush brush brush

'all i want is you' by barry louis polisar (on the movie juno) is also of a similar carefree nature.

I love that Wainwright song, too.

fun, carefree and generally badass

Jonathan Richman often fits the bill for me, beta male. Check out "That Summer Feeling."

Kate and Anna McGarrigle did a version of this song on their first album if I recall correctly; you might like their stuff just from their Wainwright associations alone.
