Lunchtime Poll: Bring Spring to the Springless

3/21/07, 11:49 am EST

So yeah, it’s the first day of spring and we should all celebrate. But not without taking a moment to ponder the plight of spring-starved individuals in Los Angeles and, like, Antarctica. Year-round they experience nothing but really warm, sunny weather or extreme gusts of wind involving varying amounts of sticky snow. You have been asked to choose one Spring-infused song to play for the seasonally challenged that will successfully communicate the explosive, giddy, essence of this time of year. What song do you play?

it’s not specifically seasonal, but “don’t look back in anger” by oasis always reminds of the spring time for some reason.

Nello | 3/22/2007, 11:52 am EST

Pardon me if I’m totally wrong here, but isn’t U2’s “Beautiful Day” a tongue-in-cheek kinda song that portrays our ignorance in terms of the damage we are doing to our planet? Not really a hppy spring-type tune in my opinion!
