Fave 'pick me up' song?

**Libby** · 08-12-2007, 12:31 PM

Hey ladies - didnt want to hijack baxjul's other thread but I was just wondering....what are some of your fave pick me up songs to get you moving/motivated and generally puts you in a better mood and out of a funk?

Some of mine would be:

* And Id Really Love To See You Tonight - England Dan & John Ford Cole (dont ask me why

)
* You Can't Lose Me - Faith Hill
* Head Over Heels - Blue Rodeo
* Im Your Man - Wham!
* Dont Stop Me Now - Queen

Basically any retro 80's or diso 70's tune can get my toes a tappin - the rest is up to me to get off my tushie and start doing one tiny thing that needs to get done started....and from there if the tunes keep going - so do I *lol*

anything by Jimmie Spheeris or Harry Caphin

Ohh, I'm a Mellenhead, lol. Any Mellencamp song makes me bust out dancing and singing big time!

But especially:

Cherry Bomb
The Authority song
Play guitar
R.O.C.K in the USA

And on and on

And a LOT of other 70's-80's stuff but John just does it, lol.

Well, I like Kid Rock, but dd won't let me listen (to many cuss words).

She always has Hannah Montana, Everlife, Jump In soundtrack, or High School Musical blaring. And I find myself singing along!

~I often sing "The way you look tonight" when I'm feeling blue. I can't say I have any particular songs that pull me out of a funk but Disco music in general usually does the trick. ~

~Oh, duh, I just remembered the one I ALWAYS sing when I'm cranky. "Keep your hands to yourself" by John Anderson. It cracks me up!~

LOL, told hubby about this thread and he started laughing and said I should tell on myself that I'm SO bad with the Mellencamp that I even dance to the new chevy truck commercials.

And was just driving into town and rocked out to Styx renegade and Tom Petty.

I'm easy to please with music, lol.
