Feel Good Songs

Feels Good -- Tony! Toni! Toné!

 

Two I just watched: the uncut Five O'Clock World and Cleveland Rocks intros for The Drew Carey Show.

 

Two Princes--Spin Doctors

 

Another Canadian classic: "Hold On" by Triumph

 

It is so nice to see Chuck Mangione getting so much love. If you were to approach '70s music sabermetrically, and broke it down in terms of absolute quality of each individual song relative to some VORP-like '70s music index, I think "Feels So Good" would rank extremely highly.

But my all-time, change-my-mood-instantly favorite (seems like it has so many multiples more impact if I hear it on the radio than if I play it myself) would be:
"Get Down On It" Kool & The Gang

 

I have the Mangione album. I've kept all my vinyl, but don't have a record player. Great, great music.
I always thought that "Barbara Ann" by the Beach Boys was just a fun song and it sounds like they were having fun when they played it.

 

Satisfaction
Brown Sugar

 

Get off of my cloud

 

You can't always get what you want.

 

I just hope I get what I need.
