Tonight in Seattle:  

I dare you to stay in a blue mood when Missy Gets Her Freak On

igLiz blogged earlier that she was in a bad mood, and that only the news of Nicky Click's new song has kept her going. I am likewise dragging. Is it the gray skies? The dayjob? Pre-natal depression? Who can say.

I went to YouTube seeking solace. I found it. I dare you to stay in a blue mood when Missy Gets Her Freak On.

But after a few listens through, the lift is fading. I need more fodder. So tell me -- What song puts you in a good mood, every damn time you hear it? Bonus points if you embed the video.

Let's all get giddy. And, um, get our freaks on.

Yo....

Which one of you biscuits is the knocked-up one again??

I think these jeans with the peach top are SHIT HOT. I'd better see you in that outfit at the next twee band gig!

"Give her something that says 'I'm not a woman anymore. I'm a mom!'"

Oh my GOD.
I'm laughing and I'm crying.

I can't help but smile tremendously whenever I listen to Tiny Tim's "Livin' in the Sunlight, Lovin' in the Moonlight".

Also, Jon Brion's Cheap Trick cover of "Voices". While quite a meloncholy song (solo piano sung almost entirely in his thread-thin falsetto), it always lifts my spirits in a weird way.

Sort of like, the moon of Jon Brion eclipses the grey sun of monotony? I have no idea.

The Von Bondies- "C'mon, C'mon" puts me in a good mood.

I'm at work, YouTube is not allowed, so I'll edit this comment in an hour with the video.

Edit:

same with me, no youtube allowed, otherwise you'd be seein' Tiny Tim's honkin' shnauz and li'l ukulele.

Awesome. I have an anticipatory smile on my face already... :D

H Is For Hellgate haven't filmed a video for their song "Tina Fey" yet, but maybe I'll shoot some footage of them performing it tonight at the Sunset...

It's replaced Madonna's "Lucky Star" as my personal all-time sure shot smile inducer, for reasons both obvious and obscure.

The video for Superchunk's "Watery Hands" cheers me up every time!

Take On Me - A-ha

NEVER FAILS.

awe. don't be sad. here's some Indian goodness to brighten yer day.

Since some one already posted the Muhammad Rafi video.
I have to say that anything by The Besties makes me smile

Here is me, now, after all the YouTubing...

I love you guys!!!! No serious, I do!

Hands down. We are sad all the time and this is the only thing that cheers us up.

I know this is so last week, but...

This one allways perks me up;

I think I win.

(For those of you who, like me, work for places that forbid YouTube, this is "Rock Lobster" by the B-52s.)

The Guillemots, "We're Here".

I've been meaning to reply to this thread but couldn't think of a song, but then it came up on my iPod and struck me as exactly the thing I was looking for ...

LCD Soundsystem's "Losing My Edge"

I would embed this youtube video but no one will tell me what the code is to embed these things the right way. Damn you, Safari!
