This might end up as a ramble as I’ve had a few drinks but I’ve started putting together some songs which just make you feel damn good.

Most seem to be mid to late 90’s and I’ll share my list below as I’ve started making a playlist of what I class as great summer tunes but looking for other people’s opinions

So far I have

Len - Steal my Sunshine
Bram Van 3000 - Drinking in LA
Spin Doctors - Two Princes
Sugar Ray - Every Morning
James - Laid
Deep Blue Something - Breakfast at Tiffanys
Cardigans - My Favourite Game
Eagle Eye Cherry - Save Tonight

Hopefully that gives you the vibe I’m after. The windows down. It’s sunny. You’re driving along and you have a big ass smile on your face!

more recently (as in very recently) Clean Bandit, Demi Lovato - Solo is insidiously catchy and cheery (imo of course)

in the main though I have to say, yea a lot of stuff from the mid to late 90's was brilliant :D
 
Ash - Girl from Mars is a wonderful shout.

I’m sat here outside with YouTube on an iPad and a bottle of wine going through videos and that’s getting added straight away.

Not sure I can bring myself to add blue da ba dee. Next I’ll be adding Babylon Zoo - Spaceman!!!!


Alanis Morrisette - Ironic is in though.
 
Pretty much anything pop/punk imo.

Blink 182/Sum 41/Offspring/Pennywise/Bad Religion - all of them have songs that just feel 'summery'
 
Agreed. Have just been watching Fat Lip on YouTube.

Haven’t listened to Same Old Story by Pennywise for years so gonna stick that on now. Alien might for better though for this.
 
A few songs that are guaranteed to put me in a feel good mood:-

Walking on Sunshine - Katrina and the Waves
Beautiful Day - U2
Rock the Boat - The Hues Corporation
Caribbean Queen - Billy Ocean
Wake up Boo - The Boo Radleys
Lady - Modjo
Ready to Go - Republica
Everyone Have Fun Tonight - Wang Chung
Holiday - Madonna
We Want the Same Thing - Belinda Carlisle
I've Got a Life - Eurythmics
I Love Saturday - Erasure
 
We are the people - Empire of the Sun
Nearer than Heaven - Delays
Seasons - Future Islands
Dreams Tonite - Alvvays
Kokomo - Beach Boys
Everybody wants to rule the world - Tears for Fears
Kids in America - Kim Wilde
