Songs that fill you with joy

[Clothed]

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.

Mundian To Bach Ke- Panjabi MC

mr blue sky- the ELO

both make me dance joyfully no matter what…

I absolutely love that, but have often thought that it was a sort of foretelling of Freddie Mercury’s future.

One I really love just because it’s so beautiful, is a recording of a niece’s soprano solo of Panis Angelicus.

This is the typical Indian song for a UK school disco

wish my school disco’s had played this! We had agadoo and the birdy song 🤣

Ooh , and steal my sunshine by LEN
very bouncy happy song that makes me feel like it’s summer…

Waka Waka (This time for Africa) JlLo.

I thought it was Shakira?

Yes its Shakira.

I have a friend and this was the song she had her first snog to.

Yes it is Shakira, don't know why I said JLo but she has performed it multiple times with and without Shakira.

New Radicals - You only get what you give.

Adore this song.

Most of Stevie Wonders, but definitely Superstition.

Oddly, the whole Hamilton soundtrack.... banger after banger!

And currently Benson Boone, beautiful things... my little girl loves belting this out in the car so makes me smile every time I hear it.

George Harrison - My Sweet Lord. I'm not religious, but this is such a joyful, worshipful song with completely wholesome vibes.

Jimmy Somerville - Don't Leave Me This Way.

I adore The Patio Song even though I’m sure my Welsh is completely wrong when I sing along to it.

Anything by steps

Morning has broken was one of my mum's favourite songs & her name was Judy. This has made me smile this morning, thank you!

Mine is "How are you?" by Pet Needs. My friend is the lead singer & just hearing his voice go "hello, how are you?" at the beginning never fails to make me smile.

I really like MJ's "black or white"

@PrancerandDancertotally agree re Hamilton soundtrack! We’ve had many a singalong car journey when my daughter was younger.

Thank you @Clothedfor starting this thread and for everyone who’s contributed…. So many brilliant songs and brought me lots of joy listening to them this weekend.

Two more to add … Toto, Africa and Wilson Phillips, Hold On

My fave of all time. 1978. A golden year ❤️

It's raining
So hold my hand
But the winter is so long
It's taking too much of the land

Hold my hand
It's raining
But the winter is so long
It's taking too much of the land

ABBA - Waterloo

Meatloaf & Cher - Dead Ringer for Love (cool video too - standard night at the local bar 😆)

Bad Manner - Can Can. Buster Bloodvessel in a long dress doing the Can Can is so funny!

Gonna be a good day and Yes yes I can by Rayelle.
I play them for my dc on the school run in the morning. We sing at the tops of our lungs. 🤗🩷

eta: and Imagine Dragons' Thunder.

Boot Scootin’ Boogie is my go-to song to get myself pumped for shitty household jobs that I don’t want to do 🤷🏻‍♀️😂
Not uncommon for DH to come home from work and find me and my 5yo line dancing whilst mopping floors 😂

Status Quo - Get Down and Marguerita Time

Keep on moving by five

Lip up Fatty - Bad Manners
State of Independence - Donna Summer version
