My bad. You're right, it was Crane, not the dude from FNM. I get the two mixed up sometimes.

[Winter Storm]

At the moment though it's "Dynamite" by Jamiroquai, I've been listening to that like 3 times a day since I downloaded it.

Add this one to my list along with Love Foolosophy, Love Blind, Emergency on Planet Earth, Canned Heat and Little L all by Jamiroquai.

And Bugsey, I am wearing their new CD, I love it!

[Bugsey34]

When The Last Time - The Clipse

That's a good one I haven't heard in a few years! Reminds me of senior year of college.

I can't stop with this album, WS, I love it! At least 5-6 songs of it. It's all I listen to these days, except for some Christmas music last night.

How Many More Times...Led Zeppelin

[blueyes]

Mambo Swing - Big Bad Voodoo Daddies :huge:

[Deadend]

M.I.A. - Pull up the people

[misssugarplum]

So many, great idea for a thread. In no particular order:


Hey Ya by Outkast

[wordsmith]

At the moment:

"My Girl," The Temptations...."I've got SUNshine...on a cloudy day"

[Deadend]

At the moment:

"My Girl," The Temptations...."I've got SUNshine...on a cloudy day"

Hehe, not so upbeat, but I loved when the offspring sampeled/parodied that song with "special delivery". Which was of course, sung from the point of view of a stalker.

[blueyes]

Deadend - do you like MIA's Fire Fire? Currently my favorite. :)

[Deadend]

Deadend - do you like MIA's Fire Fire? Currently my favorite. :)

It's a pretty good song. I simply love that album though, and normally I'm not much of an R&B guy. It's a little more than just that though. For me the sweet spot on the disc is "Hombre" and "10 Dollar", the latter of which I simply adore (but due to the subject matter, I wouldn't have called upbeat).

[and1grad]

Wonder if I take you home - Lisa Lisa & the Cult Jam

[shimmer728]

I just heard "Rock With You" by Michael Jackson. I'd say that's definitely on my list!

[Franti]

Hands down the best upbeat song of alltime in my book

Mellow Mood by Bob Marley and the Wailin Wailers :cool:

I mean that song grooves so much it's not even funny, "Ill play your favorite song darlin' we can rock it all night long darlin...." When I had my band in San Francisco I once performed that song with a Bass player and 3 drummers on April 20th.... :D That was a damn good night!

And a second place vote to Stay Human by Michael Franti and Spearhead
Also a kick ass song.

[MetFanL]

Linus and Lucy... It's awesome to listen to while you workout and try to figure out who at the gym would do the Snoopy Dance. Or am I the only person who would think that?

[wordsmith]

As the adults on the Peanuts' would say, "Mwah m'mwah mwah mwah..."

[MetFanL]

Is that a m'wah m'wah m'wah yes you're the only person who would think that or a m'wah m'wah m'wah I would totally do the same, so I'm a freak, too? ;)

LOL, that used to be one of my ringtones; always woke me up when it rang.

[shaken25]

"Jam for the Ladies" -Moby

"Insomnia" - Faithless

"So Whatcha Want" -Beastie Boys

[ledzeppelinfan1]

Give It Up--Marvin Gaye

[Winter Storm]

Give It Up--Marvin Gaye
I think its Got to Give it Up and I was just thinking of that song. Man, I'd do all types of stuff to that one.

I'll also add Don't Stop Til You Get Enough by Michael Jackson. Lifts my spirits up every time.

[LakeJay]

Following the past few posts...I gotta go with "September" by Earth, Wind & Fire.

[Bruiser]

"Summer Song" by Joe Satriani

Its an instrumental by one of the greatest guitar players ever, and very upbeat.

[wordsmith]

I think its Got to Give it Up and I was just thinking of that song. Man, I'd do all types of stuff to that one.

I very often scrub my bathroom to "Got to Give it Up," but I'm guessing that's not what you were thinking, huh?

[breathless]

Toss-up bewteen Wilco's "Heavy Metal Drummer" and Raveonettes' "Love In A Trashcan".

[Winter Storm]

I very often scrub my bathroom to "Got to Give it Up," but I'm guessing that's not what you were thinking, huh?

I was actually thinking of a seductive strip tease. But I do take off my pants to scrub the tub. So yeah, why not incorporate the two?! Next time!
:p

[ebruening]

Toss-up bewteen Wilco's "Heavy Metal Drummer" and Raveonettes' "Love In A Trashcan".

Ooh! Two of my favorite groups! Good choices, breathless :)

[Croutron]

Suntan by The Beach featuring Tia.

If you haven't heard this one yet, you probably will soon. It's destined to be a big hit next year.

Other than that, "I think I'm Paranoid" by Garbage. I love Shirley.

[joeymarjie]

Sex bomb - Tom Jones
Whenever, Wherever - Shakira
Kylie Minogue too!!!

[ugarachel82]

Right now I'm singing "tina says" by cowboy mouth. that counts as upbeat. about as upbeat as I get right now.

[dengeist]

To the windows
to the wall
till the sweat drop down my balls
till all you females crawl
skeet, skeet, skeet!!!

[ledzeppelinfan1]

Man, I'd do all types of stuff to that one.
.

Oh really, now.

Well then, Cali is gonna be even funner than we originally thought huh?

[K-man]

Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield is my favorite right now:

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten

I love this song too. I discovered it after watching The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants movie and HAD to go out and buy the CD. It's currently in my workout mix of my mp3 player now. Good stuff.

[coleco power]

anything by g.g. allin puts me in a good mood
