Subject: What is the song that makes you feel good?

Written By: Bobby on 06/12/03 at 10:33 a.m.

Yes. I accidentally put this on the wrong boards so I'll continue here.

Everyone has a song that makes them feel good or 'electric' as I call it. I'll restrict this to one song!

The song that gets me going more than most is 'Crazy Crazy nights' by Kiss!

Hope to hear everyone's replies.

Cheers.

Well, Kim, it appears you've opened up two camps...those who will cheer you and those who will jeer you ;D  This has to be one of the most polarized songs in history...you either love it or you hate it ;)

I really like "Stuck With You" and "Doing It All For My Baby" by Huey Lewis & the News.  Something about their music just gets me upbeat :)

Yeah, I know but I just can't help myself.  How could you not like it though.  It's just so upbeat and fun!!  :)

Ho! Ho! I've got to agree with both of you.

Love Shack is a quality record that will get anybody dancing regarding the cheesiness (which was intended).

Stuck with you by Huey Lewis and the news gives me a very relaxed feeling - as if everything is alright in the world.

Thanks to you both.  :D

agree with Love Shack, definitely a lot of B-52 songs too.

Debbie Gibson - Out Of The Blue (both the song and the album helped me through high school, and that was only a couple years ago), Lost In Your Eyes, Another Brick Falls, One Step Ahead, Anything Is Possible, hell, most of her catalogue

Belinda Carlisle - Leave A Light On, Mad About You, I Plead Insanity, Valentine, hell, most of her catalogue

Bangles - Walking Down Your Street, In Your Room, Be With You, Live, Different Light, listening to the Everything album does something good to me

Susanna Hoffs - My Side Of The Bed, Wishing On Telstar
a lot of Go-Go's songs.

Subject: Re: What is the song that makes you feel good?

Written By: Princesa on 06/12/03 at 11:38 p.m.

Rice Cube, I agree with you on Huey Lewis & The News...they do have some fun songs. I remember listening to Stuck With You over and over on my dad's tape when I was little. I still like to listen to it along with Do You Believe In Love, although that one gets stuck in my head for days! They both put me in a good mood. :D

If I had to pick one song that gets me in a good, ready to rock mood I'd say Def Leppard's Pour Some Sugar On Me.

For songs that lift my spirits, I made a cd of songs to listen to when I get depressed. Beware - the cheese factor is high ;D

Cyndi Lauper - Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
Belinda Carlisle - Heaven On Earth
El Debarge - Rhythm Of The Night
Wham! - Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go
Go-Go's - Vacation
Lionel Richie - All Night Long
A-Ha - Take On Me
Madonna - True Blue
Milli Vanilli - Girl You Know It's True
NKOTB - The Right Stuff
Rick Astley - Together Forever
Culture Club - Karma Chameleon
Bon Jovi - Livin' On A Prayer
Samantha Fox - I Wanna Have Some Fun
Jermaine Stewart - We Don't Have To Take Our Clothes Off
Wang Chung - Everybody Have Fun Tonight

I've got to agree with a lot of Princesca's list - 'Together Forever' by Rick Astley, 'Everybody have fun tonight' by Wang Chung and 'Wake me up before you go go' by Wham are all guaranteed to get you into the swing of life - Wonderful!  ;D

Hi Boris66au!

What do you mean, sad? Some of that is class!

'Special Brew' - Bad manners (great catchy ska tune)
'Here I go again' - Whitesnake (has a punchy bass)
'Baby don't forget my number' (great chorus)

I might add a couple more to the list. 'Stutter rap' by Morris Minor and the Majors (a spoof of The Beastie Boys - 'No sleep 'til bedtime!') and Paul Hardcastle's 'The Wizard' ( I don't think I know anything that get's more 80s than that!)

I love your taste in music, Princesa ;D  I really enjoy them soft fun tunes.  I like how you have some "harder" tunes in there too, very diverse tastes :)

If you're interested *shameless self-plug* Watt and I have written parodies of some of the 80s songs on your list, hope you enjoy ;D

Hi Rice_Cube, thanks! :D I like all genres of music from the 80s...pop, rock, punk, metal, rap, r&b...it's all so good! It's mostly the pop songs that put me in a happy mood though.

I enjoyed your parodies. My favorites are the political ones. ;D but I also liked "Sanrio" because it's so true..the stuff is expensive yet I buy a lot of their crap and don't really need it! Thanks for the link. :)

Haysi Fantayzee. I love 'John Wayne is big leggy'. Got no idea what the song is all about apart from the fact that it involves an old western star.

Some great suggestions from Princesca. 'Get out of my dreams, get into my car' by Billy Ocean is an absolute classic!

I've got to agree with these choices, Steve2891!

I was listening to 'And we danced' by The Hooters only yesterday! Amazing song!

Rick Springfield was a generally excellent singer, 'Jessie's Girl' was brilliant but I've got to add 'Human Touch' to the list as well.
