What song puts you in a good mood?

[cynic-al]

a shot of adrenalin

The best music i have found to energize the body and mind,BEBOP!The title cut from Junior Mance's "BLUE MANCE' is more lifting than a Red Bull,or hi test coffee.The first 2 minutes of the piece the burners are just warming up.At 3 minutes or so in you can feel the temperature start to climb.At 3 minutes 40 seconds or so you can imagine wisps of steam begin to rise,continuing to heat up until at 5 minutes and about 15 seconds in ,if you can sit still and be at anything less than a feverpitch of energy,then you are either ill,or in need of therapy.It is really worth a listen.

Big Balls by AC/DC. How can you not giggle at the lyrics to that one?

I kind of giggle in much the same way when I listen to "Swimming in Women" from the cd 'Picture' by the super-group Kino. I's a damn good album to boot.

 

[MvdZ]

The entire Paul Simon's Concert in the Park album (not the Simon & Garfunkel concert in the park album...although that one is great too).

 

[BMO]

Question of Balance and Tuesday Afternoon by Moody Blues.

 

[Hi Ho]

There are a lot of songs that put me in a good mood but one of my all time favorites is Cracker Jack by Aubrey Haynie.

 

[LCA]

This one from Of Montreal's SundlandicTwins album (2005) is hugely infectious:

Really Joe, I thought it would been songs like "I Hate America" by Al G and liberalets, or maybe "There are too many people in this world" by the Ted Turner Band, or classics like "I can't get a woman" by the I am so angry quartet and "Don't rob my house because I am unarmed" by the Sarah Brady bunch. lol

Sorry I couldn't resist much too easy a target. No hard feelings just having fun Joe

Right, you are pretty hilarious (not.)

Just to be clear, hating Bush and his private war is in no way incompatable with loving America. (In fact, I hate Bush because I love America.)
It is true that there are too many people in this world, whether you choose to put your blinders on and ignore that fact or not.
My third date is Saturday.
I have actually considered a gun at home. This, of course, is fundamentally different than carrying it around (and is something I would not consider if I had kids in the apartment.)
