    Hi,

    I was listening to the radio whilst driving in to work this morning & heard James Browne's 'I feel good'.....got me smiling :)
    Also put me thinking about feel good songs in general - the kind that you just can't help smiling when you hear them or toe tapping along to. Its more the tune that gets me more than the lyrics.

    So here's a few that I have, would love if people could all their own:

    1. Sex Bomb - Tom Jones
    2. Waterloo - Abba
    3. Turn on, Tune in, Cop out - Freakpower
    4. Walking on sunshine
    5. Working on the highway - Bruce Springsteen

    What else is out there? Would love to do a compilation for those mornings I'm grumpy - TBH, that's most mornings!

    Put 'em Pressure (with Jack Charlton in the background goin 'we've got a game to win') always reminds me of good times.

    Not sure who the artist is or if that's even the right name

    This song surprisingly makes you feel good!!
    Although i really don't the lyrics are anything close to positive!
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2O4mwL2C60c

    Its NIN, but its from Trent's very first demo cd so its nothing like the angsty NIN you're picturing in your mind (another reason why this song is surprising!!).
