What Song(s) Elevate Your Mood?

[Artemis@BC]

Never! Who can resist "Oh, chitty, you chitty, pretty chitty bang bang" and "our fine four-fendered friend"?

Earworm!!!

Brick House by the Commodores

[screech]

Too many to count! Waterloo by Abba always puts me in a good mood.

YES! ABBA is my guilty pleasure that I feel absolutely no guilt over loving (if that makes sense).

I'd also add 'Always Look on the Bright Side of Life' from the Monty Python Movie 'Life of Brian'.

I heard this song on an oldies radio station today. Brings back a lot of fun memories.

[gingercrush]

Hmm I enjoy songs that can be emotional and yet they always make me happier and elevate my mood.

Hey, Bulldog by The Beatles is my go-to. Blasted loud through headphones is best for mood-lifting effectiveness.

Also, not a song, but listening to episodes of Cabin Pressure is great for lifting the spirits. It's hard not to smile.

[michiruwater]

Anything by the Spice Girls... except for Viva Forever. Which is, incidentally, my favorite song of theirs, but I wouldn't say it's a song that makes me instantly happy. 'Never Give Up On The Good Times' is probably my favorite songs of theirs for instant mood elevation

[Sofia Alexandra]

"999" by Kent. Works great for roadtrips - as does "500 Miles" by The Proclaimers, here performed by the cast and crew of Doctor Who.

It depends on what you mean by "elevate your mood"

If I'm looking for something happy and mellow, it's Corin Baily Ray "Go Put Your Records On"

If I'm looking for something to get me pumped up and energized, "Eye of the Tiger", "Pump Up the Jam"

If I'm looking to feel a little naughty, "Pour some sugar on me"

Silly fun "Love Shack"

Driving in the car at night "Something In the Air Tonight" and "Boys of Summer"

[Cachoo]

Good point Bostonfan---I think of happy and pumped up but really it could mean so many things. I like your choices.

[Garden Kitty]

To get me happy and energetic, almost anything fast, catchy and danceable will work, but nothing de-stresses me like East of Eden. I think I'd love it even without the Kween association, but the association certainly doesn't hurt.
