Okay, let's cheer ourselves up a bit here!

1. Home for a Rest by Spirit of the West ("You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best, I've been gone for a month, I've been drunk since I left, these so-called vacations will soon be my death, I'm so sick from the drink, I need home for a rest..."?
2. Semi-Charmed Life by Third Eye Blind
3. The live Killer Whale Tank version of New Orleans is Sinking by The Tragically Hip (I expect nobody will know what that is:p)
4. Get It Together by The Beastie Boys
5. *ahem* Breaking Free from the High School Musical soundtrack, because Sophie and I sing it together (I get to sing the "boy" parts)
 
1. what a wonderful world - louie armstrong
2. theme song from cheers - gary portney
3. me and bobby magee - janis joplin
4. good night saigon - billy joel (this is my 7 year old son's favorite song, so even though it's a sad song, it makes me think of him, so i smile)

can't think of another one right now, i'll get back to you.
 
Anything off the Allman Bros "Eat a Peach" or "Live at the Fillmore East" records.

Also, Earth Wind and Fire's "Sing a Song"
 
I know what the Killer Whale Tank version is. Coincidentally, I was thinking about it yesterday morning while I was getting ready for work, wishing I had it on my iPod. I listen to Live Between Us all the time, but that New Orleans is Sinking just isn't the same.

My Favs:

American Girl - Tom Petty
Raspberry Beret - Prince
Somebody To Love - Queen
Just About The Only Blues - Lowest of the Low
Little Bones - Tragically Hip
 
Get Down Tonight - K C and the Sunshine Band

Beautiful Day - U2

Billy Joel's Italian Restaurant (I almost got hit by a cop once b/c I had the song turned so loud to drown out the sound of my singing that I didn't hear the siren)

Madonna's Express Yourself

The Sweet's Ballroom Blitz

Boston's Let Me Take You Home Tonight

Yeah, I'm an '80s girl for sure. :)
 
I'm glad to see someone else digs Ballroom Blitz.
I was tickled to see a 50ish lady groovin' out to Ballroom Blitz which was over the airwaves at the grocery store. Maybe she was a Sweet groupie back in the day.
 
Walking on Sunshine - Katrina and The Waves
Who Wouldn't Want To Be Me - Keith Urban
The Boy are Back In Town - Thin Lizzy
The Joker - Steve Miller Band
 
Rollercoaster of Love
You Are My Sunshine
It's Raining Men

Mostly any cheesy song that makes DH roll his eyes!!!! }(
 
Liam Lynch ~ United States of Whatevah

Pink ~ I'm Comin' up So you'd Better Get the Party Started

I'm with Catherine on B-52's Love Shack, I also love 'Rock Lobster', takes me back to my High School days:)

Madonna - Ray of Light

As cheesy as it is Shakira's 'Hips Don't Lie' makes me smile.

Lily Allen - 'Smile' makes me smile, the whole CD makes me smile, she puts such a fun slant on bitter and twisted, I TOTALLY GET THAT!}( :+ ;-)

Take Care

* Wonderful World - definitely - how can you NOT smile with that one?

* Fruitcakes - Jimmy Buffett

* Bad Moon Rising (my sister always sang, "There's a bathroom on the right" and I chuckle every time I hear the song)

* Another one Bites the Dust (same as above but she sang, "You never can fight the dust.")
 
I'm adding some that make me laugh whenever I hear them:


America: F**k, Yeah (from Team America World Police)
Freedom Isn't Free (also from Team America)
Stonehenge: Spinal Tap
 
I don't know why I have Richard Thompson on the brain today, but "Nearly in Love" does it for me. It was the first song I heard by him...and I was dating DH at the time (he introduced me to RT) and it reminds me of a lot of other stuff from that time in my life:

Love makes people so blind
That's why I can't make up my mind
If you stop me dead in my tracks
Or you just paper over the cracks

You're the one I've wanted so long
But then again I might be wrong
Now you look just right in the pale moonlight
But let me turn the headlights on

'Cause I'm nearly in love
I'm nearly in love
I'm almost aware of walking on air
Yes, I'm nearly in love

I'm nearly in love
I'm nearly in love
I wish I was really, I'd love to dearly
But I'm nearly in love

I don't want to cause you doubt
But I'm really checking you out
You're the closest to my heart bar none
Except for my wallet and my gun

I never felt like this before
That's why I want to make quite sure
That it's not just a dose of the 'flu
That gives me the chills for you

I'm nearly in love
I'm nearly in love
I'm almost aware of walking on air
Yes I'm nearly in love

I'm nearly in love
I'm nearly in love
I wish I was really, I'd love to dearly
But I'm nearly in love

I reserve the right to love you
After all I'm the first in line
I'm not one for shout and screaming
Mine, all mine, all mine, all mine, all mine

I'm nearly in love
I'm nearly in love
I'm almost aware of walking on air
Yes I'm nearly in love

I'm nearly in love
I'm nearly in love
I wish I was really, I'd love to dearly
But I'm nearly in love
