Here’s one of the happiest songs in the world from the Beach Boys. English learners should sing along because it also provides excellent practice of the meanings and pronunciation of the suffix -ion.

I-I love the colorful clothes she wears
And the way the sunlight plays upon her hair
I hear the sound of a gentle word
On the wind that lifts her perfume through the air

I’m picking up good vibrations
She’s giving me excitations
I’m picking up good vibrations
She’s giving me excitations
Good, good, good, good vibrations
She’s giving me excitations
Good, good, good, good vibrations
She’s giving me excitations

Close my eyes, she’s somehow closer now
Softly smile, I know she must be kind
When I look in her eyes
She goes with me to a blossom world

I’m picking up good vibrations
She’s giving me excitations
I’m picking up good vibrations
She’s giving me excitations
Good, good, good, good vibrations
She’s giving me excitations
Good, good, good, good vibrations
She’s giving me excitations

Ah, my my, my, what elation
I don’t know where but she sends me there
Oh, my my, my what a sensation
Ah, my, my my, what elation

Gotta keep those loved good vibrations a-happening with her
Gotta keep those loved good vibrations a-happening with her
Gotta keep those loved good vibrations a-happening with her

Ah!

Good, good, good, good vibrations
She’s giving me excitations
Good, good, good, good vibrations
