If you could wear a song as an outfit

Sure you know what this looks like. This is my "walking home in the middle of the night, mildly drunk, and happy because I probably just made out with someone who is texting me. right. now" outfit. I pull it on whenever I'm out basically.

12 The Flaming Lips : Do You Realize??
A song that makes you feel pretty

After the concert, a group of older guys were walking behind me, singing this song. The moment they reached the "aa-aa-aaah" (following the "do you realize" part) was probably the prettiest moment of my life. It was very sincere and plausible. I had to take a deep breath, and I couldn't stop smiling.
