Happy Music?

in Chit Chat

A lot of us seem to be stressed lately, myself included (I was just given about 3 months worth of work that need to be done in 3 weeks).  So, I figured we could use a cheer up discussion.

There are a few songs in my music library that instantly put a smile on my face, make me want to sing along, and make it hard to not start bouncing and dancing around the house/office.  I figured it may be useful to find out what songs everyone else uses to instantly boost the mood and extend my happy playlist.

 

Here are the few I have (I tend to resort to 80's music for happiness):   

Katrina & The Waves - Walking On Sunshine (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPUmE-tne5U)

Tom Petty - Free Fallin' (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lWJXDG2i0A)

Chris Isaak -  I Want You To Want Me (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1rJYR-A2us)

 

What are your happy, bouncy songs?

    This is my current fav happy dance song

    Shut up and Dance - Walk the Moon     <--- Clicky


    Its just super peppy and fun. And my FI is obsessed with it and always does this stupid little dance when it comes on so whenever I hear it I picture that in my head and it is insta-smile.

    I generally like poppy sing along music like Britney & Christina so all of that. But I especially must get up and sing to "I wanna dance with somebody".

    Basically anything that makes me want to dance around my apartment is my happy music! 

    SBTRKT - "Wildfire" (CLICK)
    Au Revoir Simone - "Crazy" (CLICK)
    Architecture in Helsinki - "Heart It Races" (although the Dr. Dog version is also awesome, this one's my favorite) (CLICK)
    Tennis - "Marathon" (CLICK) 
    LCD Soundsystem - "Dance Yrself Clean" (long as hell and slow to start, but SO AWESOME) (Actually, basically anything by LCD Soundsystem is a happy song for me) (CLICK)

    Yeah, that song gets me going too.  I think a lot of people secretly like that song, but don't want to admit it.

    We used that for our processional at our wedding :)

    Any discussion involving music makes me want to talk forever, so in the sake of brevity, my current happy song is Kendrick Lamar "i" (click).

    i was in the the car this morning and Kim Mitchell's Go For a Soda came on and I immediately started jamming.

    Also in the dodging stone category... anything Backstreet Boys. I know, I know, I'm lame but I love them.

    ETA: I forgot Raspberry Beret by Prince, In the Air Tonight by Phil Collins and Radio Gaga by Queen.

    I have hours-long playlists for this, I could go on forever.

    Shut Up and Dance is definitely a current favorite! But also:
     
    Paramore- Still Into You (clicky)
    Chromeo - Jealous (clicky)
    Clean Bandit - Rather Be (clicky)
    Mark Ronson - Uptown Funk (clicky)
    The Boy Least Likely To - Be Gentle With Me (clicky)

    And that's just my current top 5. Seriously, you want happy music, my Spotify is the place to go.

    I used to have a "mix CD" from Old Navy in the Late 90s called "Get up and Dance".  It had "Footloose", "I want candy", "Walking on Sunshine", and more.  I loved that CD.

    For me - "500 Miles" by the Proclaimers, "The Sign" by Ace of Base, and any 90s rap.  

    ETA:  Lisa Loeb's "I do", "Edge off Glory" by Lady Gaga, "Jenny Says" by Cowboy Mouth, "I want you" by Savage Garden ....

    That song was in a really popular show. Like... Grey's Anatomy, I think? That's where I first heard them.

    "Dear Future Husband" by Meghan Trainor has been putting a smile on my face for the past couple days.  It makes FI shake his head, but that's at least 1/2 of the fun
