Ok, gay thread, but in here i want people to be honest. I'm trying to download a load of proper feel-good-songs. So anything, anything that puts a smile on your face. I do NOT want 'the best song by (band)', which tends to be what most of these threads descend into, i want the kind of song that you hear in a club and just laugh and cant help but move to. Whether it be genuinly ace or brilliantly cheesy.

Examples from Tom:

ELO - Don't Bring Me Down
Motorhead- Ace of Spades
Avril Lavigne - Girlfriend
Boston - More than a Feeling
Eminem - Without Me

well on parties around here, usually the song that gets people started is something Snoop Doggesque. though one of my personal favorites would be Blink- 182 - F*ck a Dog :D

Dire Straits - Walk of Life is an incredibly uplifting song.

There's a fair few longer songs that are uplifting too because they take you to a low before reaching a high. Off the top of my head I'm thinking of Pink Floyd - Echoes, Guillemots - Sao Paolo, Dire Straits - Telegraph Road, Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Storm and the like.

I have no idea, neither how I forgot it. We should all be very ashamed of this.(:/) Good thing you remembered it eventually though, after listening to that, I'm happy. :amika:

If you wanna listen to a song that gets you all happy and whatever then listen to this 3-5 times, it's by the most popular band in Sweden although they don't have a music video for it and this performance is from 2002:

They're pretty well-known here in Finland too, but I never learnt to like them, might be because all the songs are in Swedish, or then I just don't like their music, either way - not my style of music.
