So, I'm desperately trying to reboot myself after the holidays - coming home after a good time down home is more depression causing than a bad time, for some reason - so I'm listening to my sure-fire good mood lemmehearyousayyeah! (yeah!) play list and am currently stuck comparing Otis Redding's "Hard to Handle" vs. the same of the Black Crows.
What songs are sure-cures for the blues for you?
Oh, and here's the top ten twelve twenty of my currently ::checks:: 53-song, 3.3 hour playlist.
1) Black Sweat - Prince (2006)
2) Lady Marmalade - Moulin Rouge Soundtrack
3) Signed Sealed Delivered - Stevie Wonder
4) Rehab - Amy Winehouse, bless her heart
5) I Want You Back - Jackson 5 (on reflection a lot of early Jackson 5 songs are pretty damn sexist, and, some, in fact, don't make a lot sense in spots, but I feel I can rock out happily while being aware of that. And yes, I do what choreography that I remember, especially the
side kick thing they do at the beginning)

7) Harder to Breathe - Maroon 5
8) A Hard Day's Night - The Beatles
9) Baby I Love You - Aretha Franklin
