Would you name a "feel good" song that you like?

Asked by Dansedescygnes (2881points) March 22nd, 2009

I was just listening to “Accidentally in Love” by Counting Crows. Love it. Always makes me feel so happy. I always turn it up when the “come on, come on” part comes and I listen to it in my car a lot.

I also would have to nominate “Island in the Sun” by Weezer and of course tons and tons of bubblegum dance and classical music.

“Coconut” by Smile.dk. Super feel good song.

Actually “The Middle” by Jimmy Eat World makes me happy within 20 seconds of listening to it

@Dansedescygnes: Great taste in music.

I love listening to mediocre 90s rock to make me feel good. Train, blink-182, Green Day, and Lit are up there.

@dansedescygnes, lurve for a great question and for Accidentally in Love! My feel good songs include but are not limited to: My Wife by The Who (odd choice I know, but it makes me smile), Shoot the Runner by Kasabian, and Gene Autry by Buellah

@Kevisaurus, lurve for DeVinyls!

You would like that song. But so do I. It makes me think of Austin Powers and I love those movies.
