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.
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).
Ack, another great weirdo gone. RIP Paul Katner. Definitely preferred the Airplane to the Starship, but at least he knew when to get off (and prevent them from using Jefferson in the product that produced "We build this city"). "After Bathing at Baxter's" is a long time favorite of mine of whacked-out psychedilica that's less than well known. Doesn't hurt as much as Bowie for sure as the vital years were long gone, but still a bit of a kick in the teeth.
