There are several, but the one that cheeres me up the most right now is Hung Up by Madonna and since a few days I feel the urge to buy the single, though first time I saw it in a shop I refused to buy it for 5.49€, because it was just the song and 2 remixes.~:eek:

Before Beirut closes this thread for redundancy:

The song "Up In Smoke" always cheers me up, no matter what mood I am in when I listen to it.

"Up in smoke... that's where my... money goes..." ~D

Whoops sorry about that.:sorry: omg i love that smilie.

Uhm anyway, lets start the topic now.

I was wondering, what songs do you listen when you feel down and need to be cheered up? What song makes you happy again? For me it is and will probably always be YMCA. That song just has the word happy written all over it. So what do you listen to?

<------- needs to be cheered up a bit.

Because I'm a musician, I tend to focus on the music rather than lyrics.

My "Let's cheer up" CDs are:

- Bob Marley: "Legend (http://www.bobmarley.com/albums/legend/)" (Three Little Birds; Could You Be Loved; One Love/People Get Ready; No Woman, No Cry; Buffalo Soldier; Redemption Song; Satisfy my Soul; Jamming)

- Yello Magic Orchestra (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000DKKXJ/103-1535777-6471060?v=glance) (YMO)

This one's instrumental, Japanese technopop for the old days, very happy, silly, creative, ingenius for its time. Cool stuff.

Thomas Dolby - "Aliens Ate my Buick (http://www.artistdirect.com/nad/store/artist/album/0,,77557,00.html)"

Quirky humor, well-written songs, excellent use of keyboard technology for its time. "Budapest by Blimp" is my favorite on this album, and makes my top 50 tunes of all time list (though it's not really a "cheer me up" song; rather, it's a dreamy, romantic one).

"The Four Seasons (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000003F3Z/qid=1131304625/sr=1-9/ref=sr_1_9/103-1535777-6471060?v=glance&s=classical)" - Vivaldi, as performed by James Galway (Spring and Summer)

The "man with the golden flute" takes the lead on this recording, rather than a violin. It's beautiful, and uplifting.

Chopin Etudes (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000001G5H/103-1535777-6471060?v=glance), performed by Maurizio Pollini

This one's a personal thing. Technique, passion merge in these "studies/exercises" for the advancing pianist. Pollini's interpretations and execution send my spirit soaring. If I can play these half as well as he does someday, I will die a content man.

OMG that song is so freakin' great! Allthough it gets a bit annoying after a while. Seems like the only way to get it out of your head is the llama song.

And after doing some research on that band I found out they made a song about Hadschi Halef Omar. W00tness! They're my new favorite band!

Roxanne by The Police. I don't like the song; it's just an excuse to scream like a jerk and butcher the high notes. Great in groups.

Angel Witch by Angel Witch (from the Angel Witch album, of course). The chorus is really catchy, and it's extended at the end. Also great in groups.

Bloodstone by Judas Priest. No other song puts me in a good mood like this one does after a pint or two.

This one's a personal thing. Technique, passion merge in these "studies/exercises" for the advancing pianist. Pollini's interpretations and execution send my spirit soaring. If I can play these half as well as he does someday, I will die a content man.This (part of your) post quasi hit me between the eyes. Jezus! I have the exact same predilection for these pieces, they are equally uplifting to me when I feel down or overburdened, and I have (or rather once had) the exact same sense that if only I could master one of them, just one... I'd would give a limb (not a hand, though) in order to be able to accomplish that. But I have already comforted myself with the thought that someone on earth has mastered them. It is not Maurizio but dear old, elusive, insuferably arrogant Martha Argerich.

To think that those pieces are just 'exercises'. Yeah right...

By the way I did not know you were a musician, TogakureOjonin. Kudos to you!

Any song of Peter Cetera or Amy Grant cheers me up. Here is a song in which they sing together.
:elephant: Warning: this song is not for the heavy hearted.

Next Time I Fall
Peter Cetera and Amy Grant
____

LLLove like a road that never ends
How it leads me back again <-(This is where Peter sings as high as a nightingale).
To heartache I'll never understand
Darling I put my heart upon the shelf
Till the moment was right and I tell myself

Chorus: next time I fall in love
I'll know better what to do.
Next time I fall in love ooh
The next time I fall in love
The next time I fall in love, it will be with you.

Now, as I look into your eyes,
Well, I wonder if it's wise
To hold you, like I've wanted to before.
Tonight, I was thinking that you might
Be the one who breathes life in this heart of mine.

Chorus

Next time I'm gonna follow through.
And if it drives me crazy,
I will know better why the next time I try

:bow: Why thank you. I was fortunate to have astute and committed parents (mom in particular), who saw to it that the talent I exhibited on a toy chord organ at age seven was brought to fruition via piano lessons from a wonderful teacher and daily practice for twelve years. She did so much for us (my brother and me), but I think we will always be most grateful for the gift of Music. It's a "Soul thing."

Oh man, if we're gonna talk game themes, I have to mention the entire collection of themes (they actually released a CD) from "Command and Conquer: Red Alert." They ROCKED so hard that the music alone got me addicted to the so-so game. Long after I stopped playing it, I still listened to the CD when I had excess air-guitar energy to burn.

I like that music from Groundhog Day.

"The Pennsylvania Polka" by Lester Lee and Zeke Manners, published in 1942

Strike up the music the band has begun
The Pennsylvania Polka
Pick out your partner and join in the fun
The Pennsylvania Polka
It started in Scranton. It's now number one
It's bound to entertain ya
Everybody has a mania to do the polka from Pennsylvania

While they're dancing
Everybody's cares are quickly gone
Sweet romancing
This goes on and on until the dawn.
They're so carefree
Gay with laughter, happy as can be
They stop to have a beer
Then the crowd begins to cheer
They kiss and then they start to dance again.

Strike up the music the band has begun
