Concept Albums (Part 1 of 4) - Season 8 Episode 5

Final round! Last chance to chase those winter blues away with some cheery sunshine. It's the sunshine of your love and you are the sunshine of our lives. Don't let the sun catch you crying, there's a lot to be thankful for. We wish you all a joyous and wonderful holiday season and a Happy New Year!

Ooh! I bet you thought that was the Beach Boys! But nope, it's the Sunrays, and believe me when I say they live for the sun. Even heroes wear sunscreen though--there's only one Sunshine Superman who gets away with soaking up the sun. Chase away those SAD winter blues with our Sunny Songs series.

Did you soak up the sun? Did you tell everyone to lighten up? Well Sunny, it may not be a lazy Sunny Afternoon, but winter can still be a time to stand up, stretch the Kinks out, and say "Good Day, Sunshine!"

If you're in a part of the world that's getting the cold and the wind and the rain and the snow, it's time to add some sunshine to your day! We'll talk about fun sunny songs, from The Beatles to One Republic and everything in between.
