Subject: MM: feelgood songs Feel good songs? Not something I'm usually into -- but I note from other entries that "Get Happy" as sung by Judy Garland is included -- a song about dying and getting ready for judgement day, sung when she was in the grips of addiction and depression. Hmmm. Also listed is Peter Gabriel's "Digging in the Dirt" -- feelgood? A man angrily, furiously picking over the scabs of his psyche and yelling "This time you''ve gone too far!"? Hmmmm. Worrying. For me, I may be getting threads confused, but I believe someone listed 10,000 Maniacs "These Are Days" as an empowerment song, and I've always thought it was the most glorious, life-affirming song without being sentimental or gloopy - -- just pure sunshine and hope. That gets my vote, beyond all others. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 15 Dec 2000 09:19:04 From: "Steve Ramirez" Subject: MM: Feel good songs Okay, short list of Feel Good Songs: Wiggley Fingers--Patty G. (who?) Ballad of Rocky Raccoon--the Beatles (don't ask me why) R-E-S-P-E-C-T--Tell it to me, Aretha!! Piano Man--Billy Joel Mannish Boy--Muddy Waters Minnie the Moocher--Cab Calloway I'm Your Girl--Jann Arden Chicken Man--Indigo Girls (strange, but sooo cool) Skinwalker--Robbie Robertson & the Red Road Ensemble The Entertainer--Scott Joplin (I can already feel my toes tappin') Leather--Tori Amos Roots & Wings--Dillon O'Brien I Kissed a Girl--Jill Sobule Wing Tip Shoes--Henry Lee Summer Political Science--Randy Newman (not really feel good... but funny) Anything by the talented Darcie Miner, Jen Powelson (who doesn't post any songs on the net, yet), or the many, many other fabulous songwriter/singers who frequent this list and I'm too dang sleepy to type their deserving names. Hm... so much for a short list. Let this be a lesson: never check your email when you get home at 1 in the morning.

(Live), "Beautiful Day" Big Country (one of the most underrated bands of all time) - "The Great Divide", "Fields of Fire", geez....so many from these guys The Clash - "Clampdown" (sometimes feeling angry is feeling good), "Janie Jones", "Should I Stay" Kate Bush - "Love and Anger", "Big Sky" Tori Amos - "Raspberry Swirl," "Silent All These Years" (very life-affirming, despite its dark subject matter)...many more from Tori Innocence Mission - "Every Hour Here", "That Was Another Country"...another shamefully forgotten band... KISS - anything from their early years, 1973 - 1978. Yes, I said it. :-) The Who - "Won't Get Fooled Again" - it's overplayed, but if Roger Daltrey's classic scream doesn't get your blood flowing, then I would argue that you're not alive at all. The Alarm - "Blaze of Glory" Waterboys - "Fisherman's Blues" Rage Against the Machine - "Freedom," "Renegades of Funk"....so many others (see The Clash) Okay, this is more work than I thought it might be....time to make a mix CD....:-) - -----Original Message----- From: Adam K.

I work in the theatre and there, many of the same plays are interpreted with many different meanings and from many different points of view. So now consider tis, if you will...While, yes, I completely agree that "Get Happy" is sung by Judy Garland in her worst of times, it is from the Musical Summer Stock with Gene Kelly where it is about having fun and not worrying. Please don't just look at who sung it, but rather consider what it is based from (in atleast one form)...a sappy musical from the 1950s. Also note that many, many others have sung the song before and after Judy, so there are "HAPPY" versions...if you wish to look at WHO SUNG the song. Look under song title at CD NOW and you'll see almost 50 different artists and meanings. Thanks, Lori ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 15 Dec 2000 13:08:26 EST From: Amanda4865@aol.com Subject: Re: MM: feelgood songs Ok, there must be more than this, but one song I like to put on when I want to just bop around and feel happy is Abra Moore's "Don't Feel Like Cryin'." Also, Katell Kaenig's "One Hell of a Life" off her album 'Jet.' Jill Sobule's "Rainy Day Parade" from 'Pink Pearl', a GREAT cd. "Superball" by Aimee Mann "We Belong" by Pat Benatar From the newest Jayhawks cd, "Smile" and "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me." (That second one is a little tongue in cheek, but it always makes me smile and sing along.) Patty's "Blue Sky," of course. And "Sometimes I Just Have to Say Your Name" by Del Amitri, just b/c they're my favorite band and I couldn't leave them out. :) Amanda ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 15 Dec 2000 02:36:08 -0500 From: "Eryn Fleming" Subject: MM: Re: feelgood songs Also listed is Peter Gabriel's "Digging in > the Dirt" -- feelgood?

I listed that song because it makes me feel good, regardless of what the lyrics are saying. That beat just makes me wanna jam out. - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Adam K."
