...creating this thread so that folks may share different music that makes feel you good (for whatever reason). Don't worry about the formatting or 'embedding' a video (PM me if you'd like to learn how to post YouTube videos on the forum) -- leave your comments, thoughts, your own personal account of your happy tunes (will be interesting to witness the varying tastes, emotions, and scope of this thread).


I'll start out -- when I hear this song (especially watch the video), I cannot help but to smile and sway my hips.

Os Tribalistas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribalistas_%28album%29) -- Ja Sei Namorar

Worth noting that Rio de Janeiro (http://www.oklahomacity.com/sister-cities.php) is a sister city to OKC.

One of my favs. It always puts me in a good mood (the song not the video).

The Lovin' Spoonful always makes me feel good. Reminds me of the summers of my youth, young love, innocence; you know, all of that stuff that's lost now.

Röyksopp (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%B6yksopp) -- Remind Me


"...the music video for "Remind Me", featuring an infographic-style video by French company H5, won the 2002 MTV Europe Music Award for best music video. In this same event the duo was nominated in three more categories: "Best Nordic Act", "Best New Artist" and "Best Dance Act". The duo performed the song "Poor Leno" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPG6OQy2iwI&ob=av3e) at the event. One year later they received a nomination for "Best Group" at the Brit Awards..."

i like this, i remember the first time i heard it i was driving up to Tulsa with my best friend wade. he moved to Chicago this past year, but whenever i hear it, it reminds me that im lucky to have the friends i do, both near and far

Some excellent "Feel Good" choices up there!

These may not be in anyone's "Top Five" but they all make me feel good . . .

Give the music 13 seconds to start . . .
then watch the video until the very end =)

This is one of those songs that I love to play loud and sing along to in the car. I love the music behind the lyrics. It is one of my feel good songs.

This is the first thing that came into my head when I saw this thead. It's a lot different from things posted so far but I can't imagine how someone could watch this without feeling good.

Great song! For some reason that song immediately takes me back to summers at the beach when I was really little.

My go to song is The Morning Song by Umphrey's McGee but if I need a pick me up I can put on anything from Minus The Bear

(Real Time Note: They just keep getting better and better! )

After Cameron reminded of us of the unique value of Men at Work's Number One Number One Hit , , ,
(An All Time Favorite of Mine, not that it matters . . .)
And ljbab "Beat Me To The Punch" on about three--maybe more--"Feel Good" Tunes . . .
(That continue to stand the test o' time . . . =)

I mentioned This Thread to my dear wife, while we were "picnicing" at the local Sonic this evening (there, on account of her virtual ticket arrangements to see "A Chorus Line" downtown got screwed up by improper human [interfacing vis-a-vis "Cloud Planning"/a.k.a. error]) while enjoying a couple of those "Baja Dogs" (even sans Sesame Seeds) and tipping the carhop even before the wonderful, and just right summer rainshower blessed us all with a trace of much needed rain . . .

Her comment was that the first song that popped into her head--given the Thread Title--was this . . .
(And I had no room for argument, because I agree.)

Of course . . . She insisted on The Original. Not any Cover Version.

Leading naturally, to one of the most sincere "Feel Good" Tunes of All Time. =)

Dang, Dude (Cameron). I wish I knew how to "embed" . . .
Clickin' links is about as ol'-fashioned as putting pennies on the tonearm . . . =)

Thanks for the Tech-Tip, Cameron . . .
(And for starting this Thread!)

I will be attempting to use it in the very near future.
As soon as I recollect another "Feel Good" song . . . =)

BTW: Did you happen to notice how three of the four members of The Dave Brubeck Quartet looked like they were attempting to do Stan Freberg impresssions? (Probably not. Neither did I. =)

Google Stan "Freberg" anyways . . .
(And, after that, maybe Elvis Costello . . . =)

SQ, cameron_405 may have already told you in a pm, but for others who may not be sure,this is what you do. When you're making a post there is an icon at the top to click on for "Insert Video". You either type in or copy and paste the URL for the video and click on OK.

If it's youtube, you only post the part of the link that comes after v=

example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4D1HSL7P98&feature=related

Just use C4D1HSL7P98 in between the YT brackets

PS to Double Edge: I take back any mean thoughts I might ever have cast in your direction on account of your posting of the Los Lobos Version of "La Bamba" early on this thread. It is in the top five of All Feel Good Songs Ever (at least in my humble opinion) and I mean it. (In the sincere rather than hostile sense of the word "mean". =)

Dang. That was the easiest thing ever . . . =)
(None of that danged on HTML stuff or nuttin' =)

If y'all haven't yet, you should check out spotify. It's the real deal, the itunes killer.

Oh, and for good measure...
