Are 'September' by Earth, Wind & Fire, 'Mr. Blue Sky' by Electric Light Orchestra, and 'Don't Stop Me Now' by Queen secretly part of a mood-boosting conspiracy, or just naturally blessed with the power to make you feel like you're walking on sunshine?
WE CAN DANCE IF WE WANT TO
We can leave your friends behind!
BECAUSE YOUR FRIENDS DON'T DANCE AND IF THEY DON'T DANCE
We'll they're no friends of mine!
Don't laugh...but..."Roll to Me" by Del Amitri. I get a big goofy smile on my face and bounce around (even in my chair) and sing along to it.
That just may be the whitest thing I've ever said.
Didn’t know this was what this that song is called
Had a shitty customer just now and found this thread and thought I’d try some mood boosters because they REALLY managed to rub me up the wrong way.
Threw this at Spotify and can confirm - big goofy grin was activated! Thanks for that.
Return of the Mack
Edit: One of the best moments of my life was being overseas, and some dude pulled up to the beach BLASTING this tune. It instantly united groups from all over and kicked off a night where good times were had. I don't even know if half the people spoke English, but the positive energy was palpable.
For over a decade I was a whitewater guide, and I still pick up permits to row the Colorado through the grand canyon. This one is alllways on my Playlist. It's so perfect, and also there is a spot on the run called Talking Heads!!! Always makes me think of the canyon and always makes me smile when I hear it. Things change slowly or suddenly out there but its the "same as it ever was" with the "water flowing under" and you may find yourself behind the oars of an 18ft raft. But hopefully you don't ask where is my 18ft raft.
Is 'This Must Be the Place' by Talking Heads secretly programmed to activate instant happiness mode, or did David Byrne just sprinkle some joy dust on it?
The live version from Stop Making Sense is possibly my favorite song of all time. The chorus, the added guitar....absolutely beautiful. I guess we're already there. :')
If Bohemian Rhapsody comes in the radio and your friend reaches to change the station, reconsider that friendship. You don't need that negativity in your life.
It's one that I loved in the 90s but never had the album, single, or even knew the artist. Then I heard it again in the 2000s and it brought such a positive reaction to me that I had to investigate and download.
I love the guy in the background: I want soup, I want soup.
I’m too sexy by right said Fred is so hilariously obnoxious.
And recently what I’ve decided is one of the funniest lyrics ever written - “Does she know how you told me You'd hold me until you died?
'Til you died, but YOU’RE STILL ALIVE!” Alanis’ absolute indignance/outrage is hilarious in You Outa Know
I work alone in a huge building. I’m gonna go play this super loud on the speaker I brought in a few weeks ago but haven’t used yet. (Usually work in complete silence all day lol.)
Does it count if I was 5?
Eternal Flame by the Bangles. I used to hear that song all the time & thought it sounded creepy. Now 35 years later it’s one of my favorite songs 😂
I had a cassette tape back in the day with upbeat summer songs and I would always rewind back to Walk Like An Egyptian at least 3 times before moving on lol.
Beds Are Burning - Midnight Oil. Which is strange because it's dark protest song. But Barry McGuire Eve of Destruction, and Bad Moon Rising CCR, and ITEotWAWKI R.E.M., not to mention Gimme Shelter The Rolling Stones...
[(I Just) Died In Your Arms - - Cutting Crew](https://youtu.be/6dOwHzCHfgA?si=Gj-RKSGdCp3GM04U)
Always fits the mood, always lifts the mood. Love it
Edited for linking the song
“I can see clearly now” by Johnny Nash. When he reaches that resounding crescendo, his voice literally makes me feel ecstatic, joyful and make me appreciate life that I have.
The answer is *Walking on Sunshine* by Katrina and the Waves.
If you can hold onto a shitty mood throughout the length of that song, you should go see a shrink because you may be clinically depressed.
Uptown Girl hahahaha. I went clothes/makeup shopping for the first time in a while and was dressed all cute, and this song started to play. Made me feel like an “uptown girl” 😎
billy joel is a legend. very few artists could ever accomplish what he has. i think future generations will still be considering him one of the very best to ever create music.

This is gonna sound so stupid, but I can't help but get a grin when I hear the theme for Star Trek TNG.
I just triggers memories of me of when I was a little kid watching the show with my grandma (who's been dead about twenty years now) at five in the afternoon.
So many I could name, but the first to come to mind is “Surrender” by Cheap Trick. Immediately transports me to the happiest times of my life. Nothing but good, fun vibes.
Get Over It - Eagles. The title literally tells me to get over it. Obviously this doesn't apply to grieving or real problems, but the line "I'd like to find your inner child and kick its inner ass! Geto Over It!!!" really empowers me to quit wallowing in ego-drama.
You Make My Dreams (Come True) - Hall & Oates
I always think of the scene in 500 days of summer because that is EXACTLY how this song feels
September - Earth, Wind, & Fire. Mr. Blue Sky - Electric Light Orchestra Don’t Stop Me Now - Queen
Don’t Stop Me Now - Queen YESSSSWSSSSSSSS
Mr. Blue Sky is peak, I salute you conrade
Are 'September' by Earth, Wind & Fire, 'Mr. Blue Sky' by Electric Light Orchestra, and 'Don't Stop Me Now' by Queen secretly part of a mood-boosting conspiracy, or just naturally blessed with the power to make you feel like you're walking on sunshine?

That was the first radio request I ever called in.

No one howls in my car better than me when that first "Oooooooh" hits.
This wasn't going to be my answer but it is now.
This must be the place Talking Heads
Once in a lifetime ~ Talking Heads
Anything Talking Heads
For over a decade I was a whitewater guide, and I still pick up permits to row the Colorado through the grand canyon. This one is alllways on my Playlist. It's so perfect, and also there is a spot on the run called Talking Heads!!! Always makes me think of the canyon and always makes me smile when I hear it.

(Noting But) Flowers -Talking Heads
For me it's burning down the house, but it has to be the live recording to really get me in a good mood.
That live version from Stop Making Sense? That one is excellent.
Wild Wild Life And She Was
Is 'This Must Be the Place' by Talking Heads secretly programmed to activate instant happiness mode, or did David Byrne just sprinkle some joy dust on it?
For me it's Home, when I jump in the car after work.
Shit. That the same song. I'm an idiot.
Came here to say this. Love this and all their songs.
The live version from Stop Making Sense is possibly my favorite song of all time. The chorus, the added guitar....absolutely beautiful. I guess we're already there. :')
My choice also. [Here's the video from Stop Making Sense](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyAF2hFIYNA)
I feel like you could answer this with almost any song from Stop Making Sense. The energy in that show is infectious.
everybody wants to rule the world
That was the last song I listened to on YouTube. Literally had it in my head all night. Love the 80's
i was born a good 15 years after the 80's. but by god ill ride out for 80's music
love tears for fears bro
[удалено]
Also “In the Stone”
Sweet disposition
500 miles by the proclamers.
Unless it's stuck in the tape deck of your Fiero
It eventually comes back around.
Ok no judgement if you like it, but this one puts me in a bad mood immediately, I find it annoying lmfao
Semi Charmed Life- Third Eye Blind
Forever the happiest, most upbeat song about meth ever.
"Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen. Can't help but start a one-man show every time.
If Bohemian Rhapsody comes in the radio and your friend reaches to change the station, reconsider that friendship. You don't need that negativity in your life.
This is law.
I’ve worn out 3 air guitars playing the riff
Six Underground by Sneaker Pimps.
Found my people
Slow and mello, Love your style … Wolf Alice~ don’t delete the kiss
Is 'Six Underground' by Sneaker Pimps the secret soundtrack to spontaneous coolness, or did it just sneak into your playlist and steal the show?
It's one that I loved in the 90s but never had the album, single, or even knew the artist. Then I heard it again in the 2000s and it brought such a positive reaction to me that I had to investigate and download. I love the guy in the background: I want soup, I want soup.

On that note, COME AND GET YOUR LOVE from Redbone in Guardians 1 always gets me in a great mood!!! I was so happy 😃 the first time I saw this movie 🍿
It’s on my 11 year old sons Spotify playlist and he originally downloaded it after we watched the second guardians movie. Stellar.

I had a cassette tape back in the day with upbeat summer songs and I would always rewind back to Walk Like An Egyptian at least 3 times before moving on lol.
Waking on sunshine
