I am overcome with pride and happiness for my country. Never before in history have I ever seen such a worldwide celebration over the election of an American president. It's possible that we may never see that moment again. My mother said the last time it happened was when John F. Kennedy was elected. While I think it may be soon to tell if the golden age of Camelot will repeat itself, I have very high hopes. I also have several vintage songs revolving in my head that I believe capture this moment in history perfectly, but the one I keep hearing the most is Louie Armstrong's Sunny Side of the Street:
Grab your coat, grab your hat, baby
Leave your worries on the doorstep
Just direct your feet
To the sunny side of the street
Can't you hear that pitter patter?
The happy tune is your step
Life can be so sweet
On the sunny side of the street
I used to walk in the shade
With those blues on parade
Now I'm not afraid, baby
This rover has crossed over
And if I never get a red cent
I'll be as rich as Rockefeller
With gold dust at my feet
On the sunny side of the street!
YEAH!!!
