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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
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.
