Just as an antidote to the beautiful sad ones on the other thread.

Time to confess - I quite like the Macarena. blush

The Proclaimers - 500 miles.
Everyone has to sing along to that, I reckon.

At the moment it’s Beyoncé’s Texas Hold ‘em. It’s just so catchy!

Barbra Streisand singing Don't Rain On My Parade.

Anything with a strong beat that makes me want to jiggle and wiggle!

You can call me Al (Paul Simon)
Always on my mind (The Pet Shop Boys)

On a more serious level, Handel's Messiah, especially The trumpet shall sound

MissAdventure Mon 08-Apr-24 12:42:56

I can call you Betty,
Betty when you call me, you can call me Al. smile

The middle part of Bohemian Rhapsody.

Scaramouch, Scaramouch!
Will you do the fandango?

Kate1949 Mon 08-Apr-24 12:52:36

Oh yes Call Me Al is a great mood booster

You Raise Me Up

MissAdventure Mon 08-Apr-24 12:56:32

I get knocked down, but I get up again!
You're never gonna keep me down!

For me it’s definitely Stevie Wonder -Superstition. As soon as I hear the first two notes I feel good. 😊

Purplepixie Mon 08-Apr-24 13:00:03

I’m just listening to Dancing in the Street by Mick Jagger and David Bowie. So cheery.

I love that too!
It's so deliciously funky!

On no they don't! I cannot stand them!
I'm probably a bit weird in that the songs which 'boost' me up would probably send everyone else into a deep depression!

What, like The Smiths - Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now do you mean, that really is a dirge?

MissAdventure Mon 08-Apr-24 13:18:45

Gimme a try.
(I'm a Smiths fan!) smile

That song though - it’s so depressing!

MissAdventure Mon 08-Apr-24 13:20:51

Posted at the exact same minute, Casdon.

How soon is now is my fave uplifting Smiths tune.
Or 'what difference does it make?'

Kate1949 Mon 08-Apr-24 13:21:15

Just Wanna Dance The Night Away by The Mavericks.

Love that squiffy.

I love Country Music in general but really love that.

We are the Champions - Queen. Another one is Sweet Caroline- always good for a loud singalong.
