What's your very favorite "feel good NOW" song?

THE song that can make you feel great, no matter what else is going on!

I have two of the songs on your list, but I wouldn't call either of them THE song that can make me feel great, no matter what else is going on.

I'm not sure what I'd pick for me.

possibles:

Celebration by Kool and The Gang
Going Underground by The Jam
Better Things by Dar williams
My Best To You by Joni Mitchell

The Allegro.

Morning Glory by The Subdudes
Good Noise by John Gorka
Castanets by Alejandro Escovedo
Let It Roll by Little Feat
Sharon by David Bromberg
Freak Flag by Laura Love

...to name a few. ;)

I voted for "anything by Jimmy Buffet" because I'm a huge Parrothead, but that's a good one, too!

I'm posting one more for the list next...

oops - posted in the wrong place

I cannot hear this song without grinning by the first note of the chorus. For those of you who can't hear it, here are the lyrics:


Hey (hey) What's the matter with your head? yeah...
Hey (hey) What's the matter with your mind and your sign?
And-a ooh-ohh
Hey (hey) Nothin's a matter with your head, baby, find it
Come on and find it
Hell, with it, baby, 'cause you're fine and you're mine
And you look so divine

Come and get your love
Come and get your love
Come and get your love
Come and get your love

Hey (hey) What's the matter with your feel right?
Don't you feel right, baby?
Hey, oh, yeah, get it from the main line, alright
I said-a find it, find it, darling, love it
If you like it, yeah-eh
Hey (hey) It's your business if you want some
Take some, get it together, baby

Come and get your love
Come and get your love
Come and get your love
Come and get your love

Come and get your love, come and get your love
Come and get your love, now
Come and get your love, come and get your love
Come and get your love, now
Come and get your love, come and get your love
Come and get your love, now
Come and get your love, come and get your love
Come and get your love, now

Come and get your love
Come and get your love
Come and get your love
Come and get your love

Hey (hey) What's the matter with your feel right?
Don't you feel right, baby?
Hey, oh, yeah, get it from the main vine, alright

La,la,la,la,la,la, (come and get your love)
La,la,la,la,la,la, (come and get your love)
La,la,la,la,la,la, (come and get your love)
La,la,la,la,la,la, (come and get your love)
La,la.la,la,la,la,la,la,la (come and get your love)
La,la.la,la,la,la,la,la,la (come and get your love)
La,la.la,la,la,la, (come and get

I feel good! :)

"Gardening at Night," "Wolves, Lower," "Harborcoat," and "World Leader Pretend" all put me in a very good mood.

from Life's Rich Pageant too. One of my all time fave albums.

"Bonzo Goes to Bitburg" always puts me in a good mood, if only because I loathe the unlamented senile old fart, his asshole VP, and his asshole VP's idiot son.

And I'm not even a country music fan, but this one is catchy. How can you not smile at "save a horse, ride a cowboy"

wrong place!

My pappy said, 'Son, you're gonna drive me t' drinkin' ...
If you don't quit drivin' that - Hot ... Rod ... Lincoln!'

Well, you've heard the story of the hot rod race,
When the Ford and the Mercury were settin' the pace.
That story's true I'm here to say,
Cause I was a'drivin' that Model A.

<snip>

Well, I wound it up to 110;
Twisted the speedometer cable right off the end.
Had my foot glued right to the floor;
I said, "That's all there is - there ain't no more."

Now the fellas thought I'd lost all sense;
The telephone poles looked like a picket fence.
They said, "Slow down, I see spots."
The lines on the road just looked like dots.

<snip>

All of a sudden a rod started knockin';
Down in the depths she started a rockin'.
I looked in the mirror and a red light was blinkin';
The cops was after my Hot Rod Lincoln.

Well they arrested me and put me in jail.
I called my pop to make my bail.
He said, "Son, you're gonna drive me t' drinkin',
If you don't quit drivin' that - Hot ... Rod ... Lincoln!"


Does it every time.

:bounce: :thumbsup:

I don't know why, but that song gets me going.

:hi:

used to party hearty to that tune my own self!
Cheers!

I'll bet you can still party hearty to that tune.

OK, every one sing along:


Then, all of a sudden, in the wink of an eye,
a Cadillac sedan passed us by.
The remark was made, "That's the car for me."
But, by then, the taillights wuz all you could see.

Well, the fellers ribbed me for bein' behind,
So I started to make that Lincoln unwind.
Took my foot off the gas and, man alive,
I shoved it down into overdrive.

Well, I wound it up to 110;
Twisted the speedometer cable right off the end.
Had my foot glued right to the floor;
I said, "That's all there is - there ain't no more."



:toast:

Really can't improve on that song.

Good suggestion, Az!

The song is on Ultimate House vol 9 ("Pluto")

"What A Feeling"
"Goin' Mobile"

A band of much wonderfulness.

Just Saw Thumbsucker this week and there's not enough Spree Music in it........

HEY JUUUUUUUUDE!

Works almost immediately 99.9% of the time. Only time it didn't was earlier this week and last weekend, but many of you know that my life really really RILLY sucked then.

Can't beat it

Happy, happy tune!



-Laelth

I love it!!! :bounce:

Stevie Wonder. :-)

Stevie Wonder is one of my all time favs. "Another Star" is another that makes me smile.

"Good Day Sunshine" Beatles

those are the top three I can think of right now that ALWAYS seem to put me in a good mood!

The 1964 Columbia one, and that damn Tony Basil song, Hey Mickey. A lot of others. Oh God, and since the 60's, the Turtles, It Ain't Me Babe, and JA's White Rabbit. Oh, and Cry Baby, Janice Joplin. More later.

And a guilty pleasure, Miracles by Fleetwood Mac. That one triggers old childhood magic for me.

The one that goes "I never did believe in miracles...", from Rumours?

Or are you thinking about the Jefferson Starship "Miracles", from Red Octopus?

Or something else?

You Make Loving Fun.

JOY TO THE WORLD
Three Dog Night
written by Hoyt Axton

Jeremiah was a bullfrog
Was a good friend of mine
I never understood a single word he said
But I helped him a-drink his wine
And he always had some mighty fine wine
Singin'...

Joy to the world
All the boys and girls now
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me

If I were the king of the world
Tell you what I'd do
I'd throw away the cars and the bars and the war
Make sweet love to you
Sing it now...

Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me

You know I love the ladies
Love to have my fun
I'm a high life flyer and a rainbow rider
A straight shootin' son-of-a-gun
I said a straight shootin' son-of-a-gun

Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me

I wanna tell you

Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me

dil ko hazar bar

Translation?

Mine is in Bengali, it means something like 'no,no,no, you can't catch me.'

hoping that my spelling is comprehensible. Thanks to my graduate school roommate from the Calcutta area, I can probably speak more Bengali than I can Deutsch - which means about six phrases, including, ironically enough - ami jahni Bangla na.

and thank you!

With Dancin' in the Moonlight as a close runner-up. Van is the man!

I'm having a late-in-life appreciation for him (FULL DISCLOSURE: I once owned a copy of The Starland Vocal Band). Even if his music wasn't your thing, you have to give him props for being authentic about what he sang. I think sunshine really did get the goofy hippie high. Gotta respect him for that.

It has nothing to do with the lyrics, but that song just melts away a bad/blue mood for me.

I'm on a bit of a kick

Then your record store needs fixin!

Thanks for the memories. Saw Mojo a few times, never got to see the Milkmen

welcome to DU

Wanna go for a ride in my bitchin Camero?

She said nothing man its stolen... PUNK ROCK GIRL

I know it's two totally different songs...but what the hell...

Would a "true" fan of the Milkmen care if you quoted from different songs? It's about freedom man. Just don't go quoting that song about the Thing that Only Eats Hippies, lest we offend the humorless here.

I could play this game all night but the real world is calling my name.

My very Red State town is having a liberal drinking night. I can't wait. Details available upon request

esp. the Mojo reference.

by The Police. Always makes me smile and bounce around. :)

by Suicide

Is it the cheezy prehistoric drum machine or the screaming that does it fer ye? :P

But the first 2 songs that popped immediately to mind:


It's Tricky - Run DMC

Into the Mystic - Van Morrison


I'm sure there're many more.

hater who started that thread, you know not what you've wrought.

"Time of the Season" - Zombies
"Heart and Soul" - Sugar (K-pop girl group that records in Japan - J/K pop?)

DIA and TOTS are the ultimate summer songs and the Sugar tune is a wonderful, weightless confection of cute girly harmonies, techno and sheer energy with an irresistible hook. Loads o' fun!

by The Misfits?

:party:

Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about the science book
Don't know much about the French I took.....

It really helps to cheer me up in my struggles as a grad student.

Not the one that starts: I see trees of green.....
Although that's a good song as well.

One lifts my spirits, the other mellows me out and makes me happy.

SHEENA EASTON lyrics - "Morning Train (Nine To Five)"

I wake up every mornin'
I stumble out of bed
Stretchin' and yawnin'
Another day ahead
It seems to last forever
And time goes slowly by
'Til babe and me's together
Then it starts to fly

'Cos the moment that he's with me
Time can take a flight
The moment that he's with me
Everything's alright
Night time is the right time
We make love
Then it's his and my time
We take off

My baby takes the morning train
He works from nine till five and then
He takes another home again
To find me waitin' for him

My baby takes the morning train
He works from nine till five and then
He takes another home again
To find me waitin' for him

He takes me to a movie
Or to a restaurant, to go
Slow dancing
Anything I want
Only when he's with me
I catch a light
Only when he gives me
Makes me feel alright

My baby takes the morning train
He works from nine till five and then
He takes another home again
To find me waitin' for him

All day I think of him
Dreamin' of him constantly
I'm crazy mad for him
And he's crazy mad for me
(Crazy mad for me)
When he steps off that train
I'm makin' a fool, a fight
Work all day to earn his pay
So we can play all night

My baby takes the morning train
He works from nine till five and then
He takes another home again
To find me waitin' for him

He's always on that morning train
(He works from nine till five and then)
He works so hard
(He takes another home again)
To find me waiting for him
(My baby takes the morning

Your Smilin' Face

:7

It's Raining Men

Never fails to put a smile on my face!

It still reminds me of the best of the Bill Clinton years.

Though I must admit, I cannot be unhappy while listening to Elvis singing Burnin' Love!

by Spiral Staircase. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000032R5/ref=m_art_li_1/102-1464737-3452160?v=glance&s=music is the amazon clip of it.

Always puts a smile on my face and a spring in my step.

Closely followed Little Robber by The Sonics. }(

Also "Sugarpie Honeybunch" and "Brown-Eyed Girl" and a lot of others ...

It's a joke but....


Khash.

within the first nanosecond of that song being played I feel pure joy.

Pink Floyd. Yeah nothing says feel better now like that song. It was also voted my high school class song. Yeah. Anyone want to take a guess why?

"When You Make Up Your Mind" by Gutterball; both are musical uppers, bar none...

:yourock:

by my lonesome...and I had the BEST time!
I was WAY broke; took a bunch of stuff to the weekly swap meet trying to raise $5 for gas and $10 for the ticket; a friend babysat my kids for nothing (I traded the favor the next time she wanted to go out) and it was really a blast.
Glad I didn't miss it!

High power upbeat soukous music, all ten minutes of it.

Bitches aint shit - Snoop Dogg
Dead Wrong - BIG
A lot of Project Pat/ 36 Mafia songs

Walk of Life, by Dire Straits

called 'Romantic Soldier' by Megmui Ogata.

I also like anything preppy by the Caesars
