Just sitting here in my garden, with the radio playing..
Teenage Dirtbag comes on and instantly it makes me smile. It was the first song I ever danced to with my OH Grin
I love how music can lift your mood!

At the moment "desfado" by Ana Moura. I love Portuguese music in general and this song in particular Smile

Dance The Night Away - The Mavericks. Always makes me feel better!

Oooh I love that one OP!

This morning my running playlist gave me U R the Best thing by D-ream. That song, the solitude and sunshine made me forget Lockdown for a while.

I will walk 1000 miles by the Proclaimers

Toomuchtooyoung01 · 24/04/2020 18:36

Foxy Lady - Jimi Hendrix
Roxanne - The Police, both because they remind me of my best friends
Ok I'll admit it, if I hear Backstreets Back by Backstreet Boys I go fucking mental

Ha! I Want it That Way always starts a sing off on our house. It's such a naff song that it's a great Grin

For some reason Steam by East 17 cracks me up and if I hear it, I will then listen to it on repeat doing the dodgy voices "sttttteeeeam....STEAM!" "You bring the body, I'll bring the STEAM!"

I was in Selfridges Beauty Dept with DD , there was music..

5-6-7-8 by Steps came on and the mood lifted . I'll swear everyone in there did a subtle shift dance Grin

Mr Brightside - The Killers

Massively overplayed in reality but I can't help but sing along when I hear it

In weather like this I love to put on Its a beautiful day, Michael Buble and dance around.

DisgraceToTheYChromosome · 24/04/2020 21:16

Rubberband Man. "Hand me down my walking cane, hand me down my hat...". The perfect 3 minute soul track.

misscockerspaniel · 24/04/2020 21:26

Mr Blue Sky (ELO)

juststopnow · 24/04/2020 22:01

Success that's really lovely. Congratulations on your little boy Thanks

tellmewhentheLangshiplandscoz · 24/04/2020 23:20

Anything by Steps makes me either sing or subtlety dance a bit. About 5 years ago we went to Legoland Windsor and Claire Richards was checking in at the desk next to me. I was so excited I almost hyperventilated Grin
