7	----
8
9	* [[Music/TheRollingStonesBand "Jumpin' Jack Flash"]].
10	-->"I was raaaised by a toothless bearded hag
11	-->"I was schooooled with a strap right 'cross my back!
12	-->"But it's aaaaall riiiiight now, in fact it's a gas!
13	-->"Yes it's aaaaall riiiiight...
14	-->"I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash, it's a gas gas gas!"
15	* Basically the point of Music/AmandaPalmer's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8C17yfGyJjM Oasis]]", which is about a teenage girl who chooses to look on the bright side in spite of being raped and being harassed for getting an abortion and rumors being told about her by her former friend. (warning: NSFW).
16	--> "Oh, I've seen better days, but I don't care."
17	* "Float On" by Music/ModestMouse seems to be narrated by someone like this:
18	-->A fake Jamaican took every last dime with that scam
19	-->It was worth it just to learn some sleight of hand
20	-->Bad news comes don't you worry even when it lands
21	-->Good news will work its way to all them plans
22	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t30cX6OGO0U Rain drops keep falling on my head, but that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red...]]
23	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlBiLNN1NhQ A certain song]] from ''Film/MontyPythonsLifeOfBrian'', later reused for ''Theatre/{{Spamalot}}'':
24	-->Some things in life are bad
25	-->They can really make you mad
26	-->Other things just make you swear and curse.
27	-->When you're chewing on life's gristle
28	-->Don't grumble, give a whistle
29	-->And this'll help things turn out for the best...
30	* Music/DorisDay claims she feels like one of these in the song "Everybody Loves A Lover." The perky arrangement really drives it home.
31	** The Shirelles cover even adds a GreekChorus that's just as cheerful as the lead singer.
32	* The narrator of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwPcD4Zwr78 Sweet Float Flats]]" seems to be this, given [[DissonantSerenity how cheerfully]] she sings about the horrible lives of the tenants in the titular apartment building. Of course, it's hard to tell if she actually is or not, because she's on a MushroomSamba the entire song.
33	* "Paradise" by Music/{{Coldplay}} seems to talk about one in a more lighter tone:
34	--> And so lying underneath those stormy skies
35	--> She'd say, "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
36	--> I know the sun must set to rise
37	--> This could be para-para-paradise"
