This month I came up with a theme for my 10 Happy Songs…(drum roll, please)...theme is “motivation”. I broke it up into two parts…5 songs that generally motivate me when working or just helping me get through traffic with a smile. The other 5 help me when I am out training for the marathon…because honestly there are times when I want to stop, but this music just won’t let me.
I know I am lucky, but I don’t live in a musical where I can break out in song and it be ok…but I can break out one of these songs and SING along…which I think you might do as well after listening to them.
1. Beautiful - by Nneka
2. I can - by Minnutes
2. I can - by Minnutes
3. Whole Wide World - by Mindy Gledhill
4. Upside Down - by Paloma Faith
5. Beauty in the World - by Macy Gray
Funny thing - I just noticed all of the above songs were done by women…things that make you go - hmmmm
As for my running motivation – I need something with more of a-in-your-face-beat. Something that makes me WANT to more...these 5 really do the trick for me.
6. New Day - by Alicia Keys
7. Breakin’A Sweat - by Skrillex featuring members of The Doors
8. Goin’ In - by Jennifer Lopez featuring Flo Rida
9. Anything Could Happen - by Ellie Goulding
10. Gangnam Style - by PSY
Bonus Song – Monster Mash - by Bobby "Boris" Pickett
I had to, it’s October and this songs is not only awesome, but comes with years of happy memories. What is one of you happy Monster Mash memories?
