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

Time to confess - I quite like the Macarena. blush

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

Yes, good choices.

Free bird by Lynard Skynard.

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

Yes!

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

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

Squiffy

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

Love that squiffy.

I love Country Music in general but really love that.

Posted at the exact same minute, Casdon.

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

Casdon Mon 08-Apr-24 13:19:59

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

That song though - it’s so depressing!

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

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?
