day 03 - a song that makes you happy

There are a lot of songs that could make a person happy. The one that I always blast in the car the few times it's featured on the radio is:

SONG: Are You That Somebody?
ARTIST: Aaliyah
ALBUM: Dr. Doolittle Soundtrack
YEAR: 1998

Maybe you think I picked this because today marks the ten-year anniversary of her tragic death? Maybe I picked it because I heard it today? Nobody will ever know the truth behind this pick. I just love this song. I've probably heard it about 150 times and it never gets old. It's got just the right amount of Timbaland in it. Sure, the movie was terrible enough to spawn a sequel and pay Eddie Murphy money for it, but the song is pure genius and always picks me up no matter what mood I'm in. She was taken away too soon, but her legend lives on through our speakers.
