Sorry about the previous post.I’m still new at this.Mainly I want to correct the title of that Led Zeppelin song. It’s Down By The Seaside.I should’ve checked it rather than relying the snippet of lyric running through my mind.

Yes, Walloon! Belting out “Oh, What a Beautiful Morning” on my way to work always puts me in a better mood. okay, I’m a big fat dork.
“Papa Was a Rodeo” and “The Luckiest Guy on the Lower East Side,” both by the Magnetic Fields, always make me smile. So does “When I’m Sixty-Four” by the Beatles.
“Don’t Stop Believin’” - Journey
This song will always crack me up. Whenever I listen to it, I have to be able to crank it up really loud, so that it can be accompanied by the “rock-ballad-singer” face that I always make while singing it. Oh, and there have to be lots of hand gestures and cheesy choreography to go along with it.
Well, it always makes people in other cars laugh.
Get your freak on - Missy Elliot (not the song as such, but I have a dance that I do so, everytime I hear the song it reminds me of the dance I do and it always cheers me up :D)
