So I've got my HD music playing on shuffle and Wham's 'I'm Your Man' comes on, and immediately my mood lifted and I started shuffling my arse in the chair and bobbing my head and smiling a lot. Don't you find that some music just does that for you, no matter how bad a mood you're in?

So I wondered what tracks / pieces of music y'all listen to that are GUARANTEED to make you feel ridiculously cheerful?

My contender for happiest music of all time is HERB ALPERT 'TIJUANA TAXI'. Everyone I've ever played it to has ended up grinning like an idiot by the last note (or rather, taxi horn honk!!). One friend was laughing so much she nearly pissed herself

. Here's a link to the first minute in case you've never heard it, although you miss out on the cool bit with the xylophone...

Have to admit...I did smile...but it reminds me of the music from "The Dating Game". Now I'm really dating myself.

I just left the dentist office, only two fillings needed, first this century.

I was a-laying' there with that tube in my mouth and the intercom started in:

"The Tide is High,
But I'm holding' on..."

That song has been in my life a quarter of a century now, and I always feel happy when I hear it. I have memories from high school forward associated with that song.

But my all time favorite:

"Wee DE de de, de we de de de de dedom bomblay!"

(The Lion Sleeps Tonight)

From what I understand this song on her my space made her famous.

Nelly Furtado "Forca" from the album "Folklore"
- "Forca" means "carry on" or "strength" in Portuguese.

When I hear this song I always get a good mood.

VH1 is playing that video all the time, and it's big on one of the NYC radio stations.

It's #16 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles this week.

Good! I hope she does well -- very nice voice! I hear part of that song on TV all the time -- it must be on a commercial or something.

CellarDweller · « **Reply #20 on:** December 21, 2007, 09:48:04 pm »

Yes, it is, but I can't remember what product it is.....I think it's for cable or satellite tv.

For some reason "Build Me Up Buttercup" came to mind and I have no idea why

Hiya Shasta!

I was visiting older threads (obviously) and found your post above about Colbie Calliat.

Have you heard her new song, "I Do?"

Hi Chuck!
That's the first time I've heard it. Very upbeat and I love all the smiley face images in the video. I'll be listening for it.
Here is one that I have been enjoying hearling on the way to work (or back from) lately.

You don't get the "crazy stalker" theme on the radio tho. LOL.

Always has been and always will remain in my all time top 5 favourite tracks and guaranteed to have me happily singing along:
