Epicurean Music- Oldies

The lyrics aren't entirely Epicurean, but this is an old favorite!

The Grass Roots - Let's Live For Today (youtube.com)

Some time ago I had earphones malfunction on one of my walks. I couldn't listen to any music so, just for fun, I decided to go through the songs in my mind searching for the one which is unintentionally the most Epicurean. I came to several conclusions:

1) The best lyrics seem to originate in dark places and are definitely not Epicurean
2) As much as I love blues, rock and metal, these genres are generally awful sources for the task at hand
3) My mind is filled with mostly guitar oriented music so my search can prove to be an exercise in futility

And then, out of the blue, 'What a Wonderful World' by Louis Armstrong appeared in my head. I smiled, realised I like my mind and its searching algorithms and started to sing along in my head replacing 90% of the lyrics with 'la-la-las'.

This song has a lot of Epicurean goodies. Appreciation of senses, friendship, learning of the future generations and, most importantly, gratefulness for being in this world. It could easily be an Epicurean anthem.

PS. Rock music is still better, though.
