Yesterday to celebrate the re-opening of Golden Discs in Stephen’s Green Shopping Centre we asked:
What song lifts your heart?
You replied in your dozens.
Behold: The uplifting countdown.
The Singing Detective: “When I feel down I always put on Man in a Shed by Nick Drake as it helps make me feel better about my not-room-enough-to-swing-a-cat studio apartment.”
Helen: “When I feel down I always put on Elbow – One Day Like This as it helps make me feel really happy as it reminds me of my son, I used to play it to him in my tummy before he was born :-) Love love love the song.”
Buggalugga: “When I feel down I always put on Earth Song by Michael Jackson as it makes me feel horny.”
Bubba: “When I feel down I always put on my high heels and suspenders and listen to Liebe ist fur alle da by Rammsten, because love really is there for us all.”
Ste: “When I feel down I always put on Why Did You Come by Jacques Villneuve (yes THAT Jacques Villeneuve) as it helps me feel like a F1 playboy.”
Kerrie: “When I feel down I always play this Yo Gabba Gabba Erika Badau song I because it kicks feeling down’s ass and makes me smile :).”
Shiela Larkin: “When I feel down I always put on The Muppets Mnah Mnah song (do do be do bee) as it helps make me feel happy again, shuffling around the room like a gobshite.”
Holy Houses: “When I feel down I always put on Black Dog because a little bit of Zep gives you Pep.”
Gearoid: “When I feel down I always put on Shania Twain’s ‘Man! I Feel Like A Woman’ as it helps makes me feel like I, too, could someday write a number one hit single.”
Mark; “When I feel down I always put on ‘Not on your own tonight’ by Damien Dempsey as it helps make me feel like I’m not on my own, which is one of the most important feelings a human needs.”
Sinabhfuil: “La Mer by Charles Trenet because it makes me feel like I’m waltzing across the waves in Juan-les-Pins.”
Mark O’Donoghue: “When I feel down I put on All My Friends by LCD Soundsystem as it helps me feel like I am not alone and that I have friends that I care about and that they care about me.”
Pooter: “When I’m on the third bottle I feel down I always put on Midnight at the Oasis (Maria Muldaur) as it helps make me feel like Cactus is our friend, my friend.”
MacGafraidh: When I feel Down I always put on the kettle for some tay and Bob Marley’s Three Little Birds.
Mani: “When I feel down I know I’m tickling a duck.”
Winner:
TK ickle: “When I feel down I always put on Davy Spillane – Caoineadh Cu Chulainn Uilleann Pipes or Home Sweet Home by Motley Cru as it helps make me feel even more sh*ttier. I probably shouldn’t do that, in fairness. Good funeral songs though.”
TK ickle wins 10 CDs and 10 DVDs of his/her choice [But he/she MUST share the names of of his/her selection with ‘the group’].
Thanks all.
