FUN songs!

Hey all. Seeing as we have a healthy thread going on about "songs that get to you," and I guess that usually doesn't mean they're too happy :eek:, I figured I'd start this thread to complement the other one. This one is dedicated to upbeat songs. Ones you can play loud, pump your fists to. Maybe even songs to make you get up on your feet and dance a bit.

Here's what I have to contribute:

"Good Weekend" by Art Brut. It's a very zany song, and I'm pretty sure it's British (I think we have a lot of folks from the UK here, yes?). Anyway, I laughed pretty good when I heard this lyric: "I've seen her naked twice! I've seen her naked... TWICE!"

"The Woman on the Screen" by Boris. This one is from their new album Pink, which is supposedly their best. A driving song if I've ever heard one, but you'll speed for sure listening to it. Hard rock at it's best. Love the tambourine shakes. Oh yea, and it's Japanese. How cool is that?

"Into the Drink" by Mudhoney. Straight out of the early 90's grunge scene, this band is actually still going. The music video for this one is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bKcEiBd99o If you like this, look for the song "It Is Us" on YouTube, because the video is hilarious.

What do you all listen to when you're in the mood for some upbeat tunes?

I like Bang Your Head by Quit Riot.
I like to play this as loud as the amps
will go.It's a real true head bang'n song
Then I play the main riff on my guitar and
can never finish because it makes
me laugh so much. :D

Actually, are they still around? I know they had a few hits in the early 90s, I remember "Pretend We're Dead" from the classic Bricks Are Heavy album. Lots of attitude in those girls. I think it fit nicely with the times.

I like a little funk/motown, so I'll add:

Oliver Cheatham - Get Down Saturday Night
Earth, Wind and Fire - Let's Groove

These both put me in a good mood. :)
 
Light up or leave me alone by Traffic

Sometimes I feel like I'm fading away
You're looking at me, I've got nothing to say
Don't make me angry with the games that you play
Either light up or leave me alone

You walk in my room, you lie in my bed
You open your mouth, shoot someone dead
All of a sudden you're inside my head
Either light up or leave me alone

Spending my bread like it grew on a tree
You're trying to tell me 'bout the birds and the bees
The skirt that you're wearing is way past your knees
Either light up or leave me alone

You're up all night preaching your mind
Come home in the morning with your latest find
I'm gonna have to lay it to you straight on the line
Either light up or leave me alone
