Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
WTF.
What songs make you chair dance, or bop around while you're cleaning or doing laundry? I want to put together a playlist to listen to when I'm stressed or depressed or being self-critical.
I'm going to call "Fake It Until You Make It".

For sheer bouncy silly gloom-be-gone good cheer, my go-tos are both by Jonathan Richman:
