What songs make your day just a little bit brighter?

[Candlejack000]

So your day is not going well either your boyfriend/girlfriend is hassling you, that last customer was a real jerk, or you are sitting on the toilet and realize that you have no TP. But just when you are feeling down you hear "that song" and everything seems just a little better. Mine are "Wake up Little Suzy" and "Mellow Yellow".
So fellow Escapists, what are your songs?

Over the last few days? This song:

<youtube=b3KuMFXm2xk>

Mostly because I just binged (3 seasons of ~50 minutes an episode, 12 episodes a season, over 3 days) at on Shameless, which has become my new favorite television show. I know I'm going to have a good time when I hear that song (it's the show's theme song).

In general, though, it's this song. Good pick-me-up.

Only found this one a few days ago, but have been listening to it a hell of a lot:

Spoiler: Minnesota - Stardust Redux

Edit:

[Yuno Gasai]

Spoiler: GirlDeMo - Alchemy

Spoiler: Kelly Clarkson - Stronger

Spoiler: Fireflight - Unbreakable

Spoiler: Icon For Hire - Get Well

 

[Me55enger]

I found this, like many others, though watching Cartoon Hangover. Bee & Puppycat is awesome and should totally be a series.


But it cheers me up. Christ knows I need it.

 

[UniversalRonin]

When a good old power Ballard comes on while listening to BBC Radio 2, boom, I'm there. Or just generally cheesy goodness that we all know the words to. I'd love to say there's a specific song, but honestly, just whatever happens at the right time.

Capcha: In Spades

Rock on Capcha! Rock on.

Er, is it just a mistake that you posted the whole album?

Anyways, given that I'm sure I've posted in near identical threads, I'll try to change up the songs:

Spoiler: Edguy's All The Clowns

Spoiler: Stratovarius's Eagleheart

Spoiler: Nightwish's Nemo

 

[Barbas]

This is a cracker right here:

EDIT: Found this too:

Here's a few songs that just make me smile, especially with the video's.

[Bobic]

Alrighty then, here's some songs that I find to be super day-brightening.

Spoiler

Super inspirational awesomeness.


Awesome 80's pop. (Also, you should all totally watch Hobo with a Shotgun, it's awesome).


More cheese!


And finally, I'll take this opportunity to promote my favourite band. . . and hairdo.

 

[The Wykydtron]

/thread, we're done here :3

 

[CrazyCapnMorgan]

Some of the songs from Persona 4: The Animation come to mind.

Spoiler: Like these

We would be done but I now have to counter with,

Spoiler: Like these

And now I must start my journey to find these songs on a CD.

 

[FPLOON]

Well, as much as I want to say EVERY SONG ON BOTH MY IPODS, that's way too many songs to list and too many links to find... So, I'l just choose a "few" that probably haven't been said already...

Spoiler: Some mashups that do the trick for me...

Spoiler: Speaking of Halloween...

Spoiler: Other songs that fit the bill, for me, but probably not to others...

Also, any song from Nujabes does the trick just nicely... I would link some of his music, but I find it hard to decide which ones to link since I LOVE ALL OF THEM! (It's the same with Gorillaz for me...) So, I'll just link the song that basically describes me as a person...

Spoiler: Nujabes - Flowers (Even the title speaks about my past)

...and the opening to Samurai Champloo...

Spoiler: Battlecry

Interpret my song choices as you will...
(Also, any song from Afro Samurai gets a honorable mention ONLY in this thread, though...)

In terms of awesome show themes that pick me up:


Other than that, various Power Metal by Demons and Wizards. Carry On, Wayward Son by Kansas. Lots of stuff.

Spoiler: dan le sac VS scroobius pip - Get Better; Gives me some faith in humanity

 

[Mr Fixit]

Anything by The Mighty Mighty Bosstones always help me out

And Clutch is great too

Dude, d'yu mind if I ask where you bought those songs by Maximum the Hormone from (assuming these songs are on those ipods you mentioned, and not just youtube)? I'm from Britain and I can't find their albums for a normal price anywhere. Are they more available in the US, or did you just shell out the £30 for them?

(Oh, if you pirated them, don't post about it, wouldn't want you getting a warning because of me)

Thanks.

Edit: I felt bad making a post without adding a song, so here, enjoy this song that was in the related videos of a Maximum The Hormone video I watched once. It's super happy.

Pinkie Pie singing Smile Smile Smile will never cease to put a stupid grin on my face.
It's just so happy that you can't help but smile!
