Saw some very upsetting threads on here that brought back some bad memories.

Want to try and have a more positive turn.
What's everyone's fav song? Something that really makes you smile.

And the Not should read JOY. But if I'm ever in the need of being aggrivatevated autocorrect does it for me every time.

John Paul Young
Love is in the Air

Great thread OP.
I absolutely love this song! It came on a while ago when I was in the supermarket and it just filled me with joy in that moment. I was dancing around the aisles with my trolley spinning it round! I literally did not care about funny looks though most people just smiled at the post menopausal woman living her best no fucks given life!!
