Hey Larry ever heard of Sunshine Girl by The Parade? That is in my opinion one of the catchiest sunshine pop songs out there.

Hi everyone! Been around for most of this bar the first half hour or so. Fits the purpose nicely, I need something calm as I am quite cranky - yes, I recommend online grocery shopping with completely outdated browser/OS, but you gotta do what you gotta do, especially when out of supplies in self-isolation.
