HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN AGAIN

The song "Happy Days Are Here Again" was written in 1929 by composer Milton Ager and lyricist Jack Yellen. Always a popular favorite it become even moreso when associated with the campaign of Franklin Delano Roosevelt in the 1930s. It's worth mentioning because despite being 88 years old, the song is as meaningful today as when FDR defeated Hoover. If I weren't a Luddite, I would have included Barbra Streisand's version in this post, but you can easily look it up and should, since it perfectly expresses what many of us are feeling. I would change one lyric. It says "You cares and troubles are gone" I would change that to, "Your trials with Trump are now gone."
