The Arcade Fire - Wake Up. It's that dundundundundun build up, like a huge wall of something pounding over the horizon, here come the Canadian Monguls! And they've stolen Phil Spector's Wall of Sound and they're using it to make you believe that you're bigger and better than any of the everyday shit that gets you down, that sucks you in and spits you out.

Actually, rereading the lyrics afterwards it's hard to believe they make something so bleak sound so joyous. If Darkseid has worked out the Anti-Life Equation he needs to put it to a REALLY good backbeat and we can all dance ourselves to oblivion.

You?

Mr. E's Beautiful Blues by the Eels. I know it's cheese, and semi-deliberate cheese, and it was used in that God-awful "Road Trip" movie, and that it made the Eels a default frat-boy band, but it still puts a damn spring in my damn step.

Gogol Bordello "Oh No" gets me every time, it's impossible not to want to get up and prance around.

Oh yeah Oh no, it doesn't have to be so
It is possible any time anywhere
Even without any dough
Oh yeah Oh no, it doesn't have to be so
Forces of the creative mind are unstoppable!


They were described by Phill Jupitus on Jools Holland Live as "a bit like The Clash having a fight with The Pogues in Eastern Europe"

Down in the Flood the way Dylan does it now (as opposed to how it was done a few decades ago) and in Masked and Anonymous.

It makes me headbang with forwardness. Reflexively and helplessly.

The mention of the Pixies in this thread made me think of one of my favorite bits of song; the end of "No. 13 Baby", when it just opens up, it makes me think of driving somewhere beautiful in the summer with an open window , my arm out, blown by the wind.

Out at a club the other night, and not really having a good time of it, as it was a flashy-light tiny bad-dancer's on wooden boxes club with horrible tinny yuppie make-sick music. And everyone of course is trying to dance and hook up, et cet. while I wait in a corner with whisky and aren't I a killjoy and I should just dance.

We get outside, I'm still trying to explain how soulmurdering some of the stuff coming from those speakers was, and everyone's half-placating and half insisting I just didn't want to get up and dance. And then, from some car on the curb, Jimmy Cliff. The Harder They Come. Now that's make an idiot of yourself dancing on the sidewalk at one in the a.m. and then throw your head down like Van Morrison being soulful in concert badass motion-requiring music.

And, as the television proved to me a few hours ago: Motorhead's Ace of Spades.

And and, because I'm a horribly sappy miserable so-and-so, I am inevitably swept up and carried off to magick sappy-sap land by two Zombina and the Skeletones' songs. She has No Reflection and Let's Get Familiar. Entirely different sort of 'Fuck yeah!' but definitely a 'Fuck yeah!' of its own.

For some inexplicable reason, "Panama" by Van Halen. Something about it makes the whole world just cooler. Especially if you're wearing cheesy sunglasses and sticking your tongue out a lot. Even indoors.

Van Halen are rock beaut territory, and "fuck yeah!" is pretty much the entire purpose of rock beauts.

Always gets me going, no matter previous state of mind. Actually, almost anything by Sam & Dave has this effect on me, but this single is special and I save it for those rare occasions when I'm really in need for a reliable pick-me-up. I love those guys!

AC/DC generally gets me in a very good mood. Especially the song Bad Boy Boogie.

NOFX 's "Thank god it's monday" works miracles at the start of the week.

R.A.M.O.N.E.S. by Motörhead is a great depression-killer for me, just because it gets me thinking of concerts I went to.

Turkey in my Humps, a mashup by Aber N. Stein which contains My Humps, Turkey In the Straw, and Bingo (the song that goes "There was a farmer, had a dog, and Bingo was his name-o.").

It doesn't give me a "Fuck Yeah!" feeling, but it definitely always puts a smile (or silly grin) on my face. For anyone who wants to hear it, go to this page, in the top player thing, click on Volume 7, scroll down to "Black Eyed Peas vs Unknown - Turkey in my humps (Aber N Stein)", click on it. Enjoy.
