June 1 is National Say Something Nice Day. The purpose of this holiday is to counteract bullying and a lack of civility and common courtesy by saying nice things to people. The goal of the day is to encourage the practice of saying something nice to people not just today but every day.

So let’s celebrate National Say Something Nice Day with music. For today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear that include compliments in the lyrics?
