Do you have "go to" music to cheer yourself up if having a bad day/mood

[Stinkycheeseandbreadcrumbs]

Crap day and I'm listening to Nick Cave and it really feels oddly reassuring.

Sometimes in a bad mood the Smiths very loud is great.

I've been trying to think of some more cheerful stuff!

I can’t stay grumpy while listening to Vampire Weekend’s Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa, Jake Bugg’s Something as simple as this, Deacon Blue’s Ship called dignity or Aretha Franklin and Annie Lennox belting out Sisters are doing it for themselves.

This! I have been known to play it on repeat until I’m feeling better. DD has adopted it too.

Yep. Crowded House. Every time.

Iggy Pop - The Passenger

Scissor Sisters - I Can't Decide

Siouxsie And The Banshees - Silver Waterfalls

Electric Light Orchestra - Mr. Blue Sky.

That used to be one of my gym songs years ago Upstart. I forgot how much i loved running to Scissor Sisters.

One of my favourite Debbie Harry songs below ....hopefully. I don't know how to include a video clip.

I have a playlist (formerly a mixtape!) which includes
Scissor Sisters - dont feel like dancin
KC & Sunshine band - Get down tonite
Erasure - sometimes
Stevie Wonder - signed sealed delivered
It bites - calling all the heroes
Duran Duran - the reflex

Great! Going to look these up. Need some new and uplifting music.

Bruce Springsteen every time.

Faithless - insomnia

A long time ago I liked 90's acid house. Now what did that morph into? I find mainstream dance music now a tad anodyne. Perhaps I am looking in the wrong places. Any good suggestions from old ravers welcome here for an update :)

Hah 808 state, had forgotten about them. And xpansions. Somebody help me, before I fall down a black hole in youtube.

too late, am on N Joi now....

My best “battle” song is
We’re not gonna take it by Twisted Sister

Always gets me pumped up

This is Me
Feel the Light
Fucking Perfect

Playing with Knives, Bizarre Inc...Inner City...Big Fun..this is fairly tame though to what I remember

Before that it was 'Everything is Awesome' from The Lego Movie. That got me through some dark days.

'Just want to dance the night away' by the Mavericks is my go-to tune. Collected that gem after dropping DH off to go to the 2nd Iraq War (army) as I drove away not knowing what would happen. Fucking hil Collins was not the tune to have on the radio on that journey, but channel hopping reaped good rewards.

I really do have happy and odd tunes as anthems for the shit times in my life.

Mr Jones - counting crows
24k magic - Bruno mars
Sir duke - stevie wonder
Get down on it - kool and the gang

Lion King soundtrack

Mr Blue Sky by ELO, Lovely Day by Bill Withers

Always Scatman, bless him and RIP x

And I know it's hard when you're falling down
And it's a long way up when you hit the ground
Get up now, get up, get up now.

sang very very loud

Embarrassingly it's Super Bass by Nicki Minaj 😊
