Why Can't I Be You - The Cure Flashlight - Parliament Funkadelic My Prerogative - Bobby Brown Victorious - Panic! At the Disco

Thanks, everyone! Keep it coming if you like!

I will go through my music collection and contribute some of my own.

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

I Have Come Out To Play and Rooming House On Venice Beach.

Astro Zombies! Either the original by The Misfits, or the cover by MCR.

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.

Very old school: Three dog night's Joy to the world; Elton John's Crocodile rock. Bruce Springsteen's Viva Las Vegas

Slightly less old school: Cobra Starship's Guilty pleasure

The Dirtbombs — Motor City Baby

MCR - Thank You For The Venom (Live, Warped Tour)

Bruno Mars - Uptown Funk (which I was actually bed dancing to while I was in labor)

Bob Seger - Rock N Roll Never Forgets

Hell, anything by Bob Seger except "Beautiful Loser" and "Against the Wind." (Which are great, just not cheery.)

Outkast - Hey Ya!

The Darkness - I Believe in a Thing Called Love

Elton John - Step into Christmas, Island Girl

My "fun" playlist includes things like Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, Poison (BBD), Brass Monkey (Beastie Boys), Shining Star (Earth Wind & Fire), If I Was Your Girlfriend (Prince).
