I love happy songs about death. It's sort of a triumph over the sadness of a death in celebrating what was good about the man's life- he lived it to the fullest. I can't explain it properly.. this song says it all though.

"He summoned all of his joy when he laughed,
It suffered all of his joy when he cried,
And sometimes when he got into talking..
Man, he could rattle on and on. He was a good man, and now he's gone."
