I've been really down this week, for no reason at all. I've been listening to this song in work cos it perks me up and makes me sing along. It cheered me up anyway..

Is that the weakness in me as in the Joan Armatrading song?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swTrjqOpdrs

Absolutely love this song, although it's not very cheerful.

I'll go and investigate melissa etheridge now!

EDIT:Ah yes, it is the joan armatrading song. The original is so muc better mariaalice.. give it a listen! I love a bit of Joan, what a voice!

13-01-2008 10:23pm

I picked the Melisa Ethridge version because of the lesbian video i though that might cheerer the poster up ( I'm not a lesbian by the way )

Sugababes - Hole in the head Definitely my break up "get over that f*cker" song. Listen to the words!

"Erased ur number from my telephone & if you call me i wont be at home" etc

Get up & dance around the room to it!

Edit: Embedded! didnt realise there was a youtube tag

(couldnt figure out how to embed it?)

Tis easy! (once you know how!)

Just enter youtube tags

(without the space before the final bracket, i just had to leave them there to show you how it works). In the brackets put all the letters and number in the youtube link that come after the = sign.

Press quote on someone's post where youtube is embedded and you'll see what they've done.

Seconded!

You can't beat an oul dance to George and the gang to get rid of the blues.

Pyjamarama · 14-01-2008 10:42am

Ben Folds Rockin the suburbs always makes me laugh

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlGCTWL6djo

"Y'all don't know what it's like, being male, middle class and white" hehe!

Also pretty much anything by Belle and Sebastian's puts a smile on my face.

And finishing on another Ben Folds note, his version of Careless Whisper with Rufus Wainwright is great!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZomitDoaopg

Hope I did that youtube thing right!!

MayMay · 15-01-2008 7:13pm

The words in that Paddy Casey song are lovely.

tallaght01 · 21-01-2008 9:04pm

Just been out for a run, ans was seriously fading. Bad idea to slow down when running through tallaght

anyway, an old song called "Hungry like the wolf" by duran duran came on my ipod, and suddenly I was legging like the proverbial ethiopian after a breadvan.

Quality tune.

edit: can anyone tell me why my youtube thingey isn't working. I'm one of life's great technophobes

milli · 22-01-2008 12:33am

Anyone remember Kelly Marie and It Fells Like I'm In Love? Always cheers me up

And I think it's "You'll Get By" by Paddy Casey.

Oh and this when I'm in a shouty driving mood, actually all the Foos albums.

Norah Jones first album always does it for me - elevator music - nah. Come away with me is one of the most gorgeous songs I 've ever heard. Long hot bath - always washes away the day's worries

Going out - Milo - In Your Arms..loves it!! The video always puts a smile on my face too.

This song makes me want to jump around and hug everyone in sight and it really gives me goosebumps.

the sound is kinda crap on the youtube link though and it takes about two minutes to get going

React 2 Rhythm: Intoxication.

Ah man that brings back memories! Was big in Ibiza again a few years ago. Chilling at a beach party watching the sun come up, listening to that tune.

Bliss.

And now I'm sat here freezing cold, looking out the window at snow....brilliant!
