Which song cheers you up?

[Nikhedonia]

Do you have a song that puts you in a good mood whenever you listen to it?

Mine is Bob Marley - Three Little Birds

Bruno Mars-finesse

Or
the spinners-working my way back to you

Jolene, Last night a DJ saved my life, I feel love by Donna Summers, Ho Hey by The Lumineers, Radio Ga Ga.

Oh yes to Electric Dreams!

Love Shack by the B52's - brilliant 💃

One Way by The Levellers, pure joy

'Pack Up' - Eliza Doolittle

'Beggar On A Beach Of Gold' - Mike & The Mechanics

'While You See A Chance' and 'Back In The High Life' - both Steve Winwood

Great thread, sure I can think of some more....

@hotcrosswhat

Keep on Movin - Five

There are others but this one is just so cheesy anything I can sing along to helps take my mind off things.

Again I think of my youth... friends and I choreographing an awful dance routine to this!

Tiger Feet! Have to sing along and dance to it. Just a fun, happy song.

'When the going gets tough' - Billy Ocean. ( Plus the remixes on YouTube. ) Gets me through a lot of shit housework

I love that song. It reminds me of the days when they used to do the top 20 countdown on a Tuesday lunchtime.

We usd to sneak up to the upstairs corridor (not allowed) to listen to the charts, and I remember the four of us dancing to this in the corridor hoping that the dinner lady wouldn't come along and tell us off

The main one for me is Wake me up before you go go by Wham. It just makes me want to dance and sing along.

I play Wham's greatest hits a lot when doing housework

You’re the Best Around - Joe Esposito
Higher Love - Steve Winwood
Badlands - Bruce Springsteen

@ladybee28

I was coming on to say this. My default song to put me in a good mood. Always works.

Daydream Believer - the Monkees
9 to 5 - Dolly Parton
5 o'clock somewhere - Alan Jackson
Dignity - Deacon Blue
Annie's Song -John Denver
Top of the World - The Carpenters
At the Zoo - Simon and Garfunkle

I am not as old as those songs would suggest I am!!!

Solsbury Hill - Peter Gabriel

Life in a northern town - The Dream Academy
Cruel Summer - Bananarama
Boys of Summer - Don Henley

I ask Alexa to play 80s songs when I'm cooking or cleaning, the best decade IMO.

Katrina and the Waves - Walking on sunshine

Islands in the stream Dolly and Kenny

Marry you, Bruno Marrs

Both of these are my happy songs

Oh a couple more:

Top of the World - Imagine Dragons
Best Day of my Life - American Authors

@Mintjulia

Katrina and the Waves - Walking on sunshine

DD and I listened to this in the car on the way to school this morning, such a feel good song!

Also 'Love Shine A Light' by Katrina et al - absolutely cracking song. The 2020 combined Eurovision artists' version of it was just brilliant.

Also 'Love Shine A Light' by Katrina et al - absolutely cracking song. The 2020 combined Eurovision artists' version of it was just brilliant.

I have a hazy memory of that being the theme tune for a TV programme, but I can't remember which one. It's slightly annoying me!

Walking on sunshine (wo hoa!), Katrina & the waves
Wake up Boo, Boo Radleys
Get back up again, Anna Kendrick, Trolls soundtrack
You're Welcome, Dwayne Johnson
This time I know it's for real, Donna Summer
Daydream believer, the Monkees
I am the one & only, Chesney Hawkes
I wanna dance with somebody, Whitney Houston

George Benson, Give me the Night, the official music video on YouTube is guaranteed to raise a smile.
Infectious music, his lovely smile and he plays his guitar while roller skating.
I used to play Marvin Gaye’s album, What’s Going on, every morning whilst getting ready. It was a good way to start each day off. I might start that routine again...

ELO Mr Blue Sky also works well
