Can I please ask for your favourite HAPPY or MOTIVATIONAL SONG? (Anxiety/depression playlist buster!)

[yellowpolkadots101]

Please the world of mumsnet help me put a happy motivational playlist together to distract me from a horrible period of anxiety I am going through!

I will be adding songs to a spotify playlist and playing them in my room, in my car and also at the gym!

Old and new songs welcome!!

I have zero songs so far! My first song will be

'Come on Eileen' a song myself and dp love dancing and singing to in the car =)

Happy to share the playlist on spotify for those who would like to listen once I have put it together...!

Thank you

We should have this as a MN playlist on YouTube! Great thread OP, I'm sure I'm not the only one who'll be taking notes.

Guilty pleasures but goodies;
Neil Diamond -America
Spandau Ballet - Through the Barricades
ABBA - Does your mother know
I admit to belting these out in the kitchen when cooking every evening, next door must think I’m mad 🥴

Make your own kind of music - Mama Cass

Superb, sing it loud, sing it your way. I often sing it on my way to work. Lifts my soul no end and makes me think fondly of my sister.

Also gong to say 9-5 Dolly Parton. the opening bit before she starts singing instantly puts me in a good mood. Just watched the video on YT three times.

Also love the Beach Boys, Good Vibrations or Wouldn't it be Nice'.

Plus 'Inside' by Stiltskin, 'Olivers Army' by Elvis Costello and pretty much anything by Sash

Mental as Anything - Live it Up. An uplifting corker!
