I need some Happy Music Now!

[dex]

My seasonally affected depression is getting to me; along with everything else.
I need some happy music
- no love songs - definitely not - if you read my post about Photographs you'd understand
- no religion
- no Jazz - I'm not in the mood
- new age if it is good
- no Barney - maybe Sesame Street - I'm desperate
- Country is OK

Happy - it has to be happy - I need it - we all need it - a good beat would be nice - something that fill you with .... I don't know ... happiness.

I'm looking for a whole album of the stuff to buy; but an artist would be good also.

Any suggestions?
Thanks

Stay away from the photographs, Dex!

Not a big music fan in general but DH likes Cold Play.

I think songs you already know have associations--what might seem happy could be the song my boyfriend was playing on the stereo when he broke up with me. [-](Bastard--who knew I would have such bad vibes from Yummy Yummy Yummy I've Got Love in My Tummy....)[/-]

So maybe try some new music.

Come on guys. Dex needs a little pepping up. These guys look like they are having a good time. BTW, ole Angus Young(lead guitarist) has got the head banging thing down pat. My inspiration.

Thank you all - I listened to them all - they were great - just what I needed. I'll always spell frog PHROG from now on.


These songs - while they don't a strong upbeat are always special to me. I worked most if not all Saturdays in high school and college. So Saturdays were always special to when I was able to take them off. I guess all my days are Saturday now.
Thanks

YouTube - Simon & Garfunkel- Cecilia

Simon and Garfunkel’s Cecelia which always make me laugh, it’s not really a love song but a parody, love the Jubilation section



Leonard Bernstein conducting Ode to Joy, music starts at 3:37 if you don’t want to listen to Bernstein. When he played it at the Berlin Wall, they changed the words to “Ode to Freedom” which I think of as my FIRE tune.
