Not pop, but not too country. I like singing and be-bopping along to “Passionate Kisses” by Mary Chapin Carpenter, though I know it’s a woman’s POV song. One could say it is not “upbeat” as she is questioning why she doesn’t have passionate kisses (and other things), though. Did anybody mention “Roam” by The B-52s? Sir Rhosis ---

[QUOTE=jayjay] Heh. I knew it was going to be One Of Us who corrected that… [/QUOTE] Well, I couldn’t let that stand. Donna was of course magnificent in her own right, but I couldn’t let Miss Gloria’s contribution go unrecognized. Also, I can’t believe I forget to put any Debbie Gibson on my list. “Only In My Dreams” is poppy and upbeat and terribly catchy. So, **bluecanary** , which of the suggestions in the thread did you like? It might help us to recommend more if we know. ---
