Had a tough week and fed up of listening to the same songs over and over again. What songs have you got to lift the mood a bit?
This i posted on the Chems thread. Real good dancing videos always make me smile
On a similar note
(oops forget link)
Cheesey, but I don't care, always cheers me up. This would be one of my Desert Island Discs
makes me and my mrs smile, when we were young.
And (I can her DezB screaming already 🙂 )
And for a bit of comic interlude
This always makes me smile 😀 Anything that contains the lyric 'but what came first - 'The chicken nugget or the Egg McMuffin?' has got to be doing something right...
And Half Man Half Biscuit always make everything better (its quite sweary, this one)
I was going to post a typical STW useless response (i.e. something by TypeONegative, very gloomy and doomy) , then I realised it you gnusmas!
Nah, ain't for me are they! 😀
Here's another lovely Jungle vid
and one of the best vids of all time. Dunno if it's a happy song, but video never fails!
Sorry can’t get link to work
Something else

I fink this fits the requirements
A lot of classic reggae from the 70’s always does the trick for me. That or some good old funk. Dr John and the Meters - Right Place (the whole album).
One of my ‘cheer me up tunes’:

If you like classical or opera I have 100 other suggestions
Sung by a child molester, but the best pop song ever:

If the music doesn’t cheer you up surely the clothes, hair and dance moves will:

Upbeat and the lead singers dog is singing along
By the way, this is a great idea for a thread, and I'm enjoying all the posts.
Hearing Bonnie Tyler on Radio 2 this morning cheered me up no end
If you thought her voice was knackered 20 years ago it sounds like she has been gargling barbed wire in the interim and it sounded great
a real guilty pleasure 🙂
An oldie but goodie: Florida Fantasy (from The Midnight Cowboy) - John Barry
Effing Love Shack can get in the effing sea.
Otherwise, good work all.
Just to note that linking 4+ videos in a single post tends to break the thread on iPad/iPhone and probably other devices, so best split them up. cheeerz
more northern soul tracks to investigate
Al Wilson - The Snake
Chuck Wood - Seven Days Too Long
Dobie Gray - Out On The Floor
Edwin Starr - Time
Frankie Valli - The Night
Gloria Jones - Tainted Love
Jimmy Radcliffe - Long After Tonight Is All Over
Luther Ingram - Exus Trek (or the vocal version If It's All The Same To You babe()
Marvin Gaye - This Love Starved Heart Of Mine (It’s Killing Me)
R Dean Taylor - There’s A Ghost In My House
Tony Clarke - Landslide
Effing Love Shack can get in the effing sea.
Come on Nettles, there's a time and a place where it fits right in, there are worse songs too!
Duly splitting my post -ssorry abuot that Debz 🙂
And a whole load of 90s student disco tunes here
No need to apologise er, nice big titty 😆
Proper old school feel good....
And something uplifting and gospel-tastic from the Streets
Come on Nettles, there’s a time and a place where it fits right in,
Agreed, and that time and place is the "Absolutely effing dreadful songs that are absolutely effing dreadful" thread, not this one.
there are worse songs too!
Again, agreed, but then again, whilst being smacked in the bollocks by a massive hammer is worse than being smacked in the bollocks by a small hammer, you're still getting smacked in the bollocks. Love Shack is an aural bollock smashing.
I'm with SaxonRider and TOby1 on this, Love Shack is aec. Nettles your negative attitude is bang out of line
have something to cheer you up
I'm tempted to set up a shared spotify playlist for these songs, actually...
This brings back memories and makes me smile every time.
Nettles your negative attitude is bang out of line
Hey, I dislike one song, the rest are excellent (esp the Northern Soul stuff).
Anyway, to continue the theme, and my sub-theme of 80's cheese, in a couple of months I'll be jumping up and down in a stadium singing this with tens of thousands of people in their 40s and 50s 🙂
I like this too, but only with the video. Skateboarding ladies on a roadtrip? We all win.
My current feel good bang. fantastic vibe and a very talented young woman. Video also has wheelies and manuals in it
@saxonrider I used to listen to Travelling Wilburies with my old man. Love that first album
Tune eddiebaby! Love that.
What about a bit of uplifting Irish folk? Lunasa are hot sh*t!

And there was me resisting saying Huey Lewcan't even type it all, is my most hated song of all time!! But that's FUNNY! That I hate something so much! 😆
Bjork! On the back of a lorry! There's nothing nicer
FFS why the you tube linky no worky?
Yacht remix always gets the kids bumpin' in the backseat
Talking Heads of course
If all else fails, Stinky Wizzleteats to the rescue
FFS why the you tube linky no worky?
Are you putting the video urls on a new line?
