Her performance is fun and infectious and immediately put me in a good mood, especially these lines:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div class=\"stanza\">\n<p>Wake up, wake up you sleepyhead,<\/p>\n<p>get up, get up, get out of bed<\/p>\n<p>Cheer up, cheer up, the sun is red,<\/p>\n<p>live, love, laugh and be happy<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>(Even though the first couple lines there are not really a sentiment I generally endorse, being more the sort who'd rather not get out of bed.)<\/p>\n<p>So I figured I'd share the cheer. Sadly, Lui Collins's music is not available in the iTunes Store, but with a little digging, I found another similarly cheerful rendition: \"<a href=\"http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/WebObjects\/MZStore.woa\/wa\/viewAlbum?i=160573362&id=160573309&s=143441\">Red Red Robin<\/a>\" as performed by Canadian singer\/songwriter Fred Penner on his kids' album <cite>Happy Feet<\/cite>. The rest of the album sounds fun, too.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was sitting here doing some SH database stuff, and I put on my iTunes playlist, and along came Lui&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11707","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11707","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11707"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11707\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11707"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11707"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11707"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
