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

Time to confess - I quite like the Macarena. blush

Titanium by Sia.

MissAdventure Mon 08-Apr-24 13:25:32

Free bird by Lynard Skynard.

Once those guitars get going, it's excellent!!!

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

Love both of those two as well.
Status Quo are supposed to be fantastic live

'For unto us a child is born' and the Hallelujah chorus from Handel's Messiah.

MissAdventure Mon 08-Apr-24 13:45:51

How about 'Glo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-oria! Hosanna in excelsis!!!!

Just Wanna Dance The Night Away by The Mavericks.

Love that song! Also Dancing in the Moonlight by Toploader, always makes me want to dance (obviously!)

Kate1949 Mon 08-Apr-24 14:11:00

I love the Toploader one too. Happy music.

Yes to The Mavericks and also Ricky Martin Livin’ La Vida Loca.
I’m partial to a bit of Rick
Astley too.

Mr Blue Sky - ELO.

It’s my anthem! 😂

Somebody here once posted that as her son was born, E.L.O sung "Hey you with the pretty face! Welcome to the human race" smile

MissAdventure Mon 08-Apr-24 14:30:36

Yes!

Especially in a beautiful fast car, full volume or flying over the Grand Canyon in a helicopter

Marvellous, I bet.

I Love To Boogie by T Rex gets me bopping round the kitchen.

MissAdventure Mon 08-Apr-24 14:40:41

Hot love does it for me.
The song, that is

Oh, it's good to have you back, MissAdventure!

MissAdventure Mon 08-Apr-24 15:16:26

Si, si, je suis un rock star.

Who sang it?
One of the rolling stones?
I like it.

Callistemon21 Mon 08-Apr-24 15:20:34

Crocodile Rock

I remember being at an Elton John concert and all the youngsters sitting next to us got up and started bopping in the aisle 😁

He wasn't doing too bad for a 70 year old!

I'm a big fan of British Light Music (a forgotten genre!) so Puffin' Billy really cheers me up. You will remember this if you listened to Children's Favourites on the radio.

It's so infectious, you can't be sad with this playing:
