Songs to cheer you up

[Stephenj]

I'm struggling a bit more than I thought I would with this lockdown. 2 things really helping me are reading and music. With that in mind, I thought about starting a thread where you recommend 1 song which you think will guarantee the listener ends up with a big smile on there faces. Im hoping to get a hit of inspiration from this thread as Spotify keep banging out the same tunes.

I'll start

Primal Scream - moving on up.

 

[Chippy_Tea]

Metallica - The Unforgiven.

Does it for me -

Skip to 50 second -

For those on Spotify, when I get a decent list of songs of you, I'll pop them on playlist and share so all in one place.

Interesting choice chippy tea.

[phillc]

Maybe not so well known this side of the world. Reminds me of my yoof.

 

[An Ankoù]

This Album is so bad, it's good. Amazingly awful (brilliant lyrics) such as:

When I come back from a mighty quest
I have no need for sleep or rest
I head to a tavern for a drink
And get so drunk I cannot think
A wench by my side, a jug of mead
These are the things that I most need
So I sit back and sing this song
And drink and party all night long

 

[Nicks90]

Ah music is the food of the soul and there is always something playing in our house
Luckily we're all metal heads, so there is a real diversity in the band's being played, from classic maiden to my daughter 'discovering' new bands.

Particularly fond of these guys, young New Zealanders who can really play. Great video too

Cheers me up.

That one from Monty python...

I certainly relate to the lyrics although my “quest” might be a spot of gardening or a brew day

 

[Clint]

Chippy..not THAT one...

 

[Chippy_Tea]

Chippy..not THAT one...

 

[Clint]

That's the kiddy...
A great big ****OFF to all the horrible things in life!

 

[Drunkula]

Ok, it's time to win the internet AGAIN.

For some reason this is my favourite video of all time. It's the blonde girl being utterly demented that makes me laugh. Everyone has their favourite in this video.

 

[dwhite60]

Clarence Carter - Strokin'

All the Best,
D. White

 

[foxy]

Scorpions Tainted Love, one to dance to, if you have a pole and muscles where they shouldn't be.

 

[MmmBeer]

This always cheers me up.



And this always sounds great on a sunny day like today.

 

[Bevvied]

The Muppet reminds me of Jeff Lynne.
Cracks me up.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

The Muppet reminds me of Jeff Lynne.
Cracks me up.

I just KNEW it would be that song!
