R.E.M. - "Shiny Happy People"

So many aspects of Leslie's endearing personality can be boiled down to the fact that she's just a genuinely happy person, and also very shiny. (Pearly white teeth, a cheery glow, and just look at that hair!) Few songs spill as much sunshine than R.E.M.'s 1991 hit single, which we like to think soundtracked the many sober, student-government servicing nights of Leslie's early college days. Somewhere out there, right now, she and her troop of Pawnee Goddesses are painting the same mural from the video onto an ugly, cracked wall, making the world a brighter place.
