This week I’m featuring songs that can instantly improve my mood. These songs do this mostly by making me dance around and sing along.
DJ Sunderland - Supermassive Mandy
Thanks to nyquil.org for this song. It’s a mashup of a song by Muse and some other band. I know, I’m so much help. And no, I don’t know where the mp3 came from and can’t link it on Amazon, shucks!
Gorillaz - 19-2000 [Soulchild remix] Click title to buy
I first heard this song in a gum commercial I think, the setting was a party and the song fit pretty well. It’s just so happy sounding!
Javelin - Oh Centra Click title to buy
I heard this on Myspace and fell in love with its bleeps and bloops. And how adorable, it’s about a cat! Dancy, video-gamey music about a cat, now what isn’t fun about that?
Jellyfish - All Is Forgiven Click title to buy
Jellyfish are credited with some influence of the band Self, and I can understand that. However, the styles are significantly different enough that I enjoy it on a different level. Mostly because of the overdramatics and very Queen-esque feeling I get from listening to it, I like singing along loudly [in the privacy of my own car or room when no one else is home].
New Radicals - Mother We Just Can’t Get Enough Click title to buy
Remember these guys? Well you do now. There’s something very endearing about a good spilling-your-guts to someone love song, especially when it’s energetic and not terribly sappy. I like it.
Hot Rod Circuit - At Nature’s Mercy Click title to buy
See above, my comments about endearing songs echo here. I find I include this song a lot because it reminds me of being a teenager and all the shenanigans we’d find ourselves in, and it was all just fun.
John Taylor - Anon [One Day at a Time]
OK, this song isn’t dancy, but it certainly makes me happier. I’m a huge fan of John Taylor, and this song is kind of a warm, fuzzy blanket, letting me know everything’s gonna be alright. And he throws in a good bit of humor to lighten the mood, as well. And to anyone who likes the song, well, sorry, I can’t find anywhere convenient to link to it. You can try finding used copies of the album Autodidact if you are determined.
