Feel Good #Music For a Feel Good Mood Vol. 2 #AprilA2Z

I interrupt the regular program post  to bring you this special announcement…. All routine posts for this month is preempted so I might contribute to the largest Blogosphere party ever. Don’t worry, normal posting will resume next month like clock work (I hope). Meanwhile, I invite you to stick around to enjoy the #AprilA2Z fun!

Good-morning, kittens & dawgs! If you don’t feel good after listening to James Brown then you need to crawl back in bed and pull the covers over your head. Nothing makes me feel good or put the groove in my mood like music. Most weeks, I put together 3 posts dedicated to the sound of music and I’m not talking about the movie. Last year’s challenge,  I did Feel good music for a feel good mood, and this morning I decided why not do it again. Join me this morning for more…Feel Good #Music For a Feel Good Mood Vol. 2!

Every time I hear Oh Happy Day, I always think of Whoopi Goldberg in Sister Act (that’s such a fun movie!) and thinking about Jesus washing my sins away puts me in a feel good mood.

Nothing says feel good mood like weddings make you feel good. They make me wanna cry and smile at the same time. How is that possible? I’m not sure how accurate this is, but someone recently posted that some of the wedding shots in Maroon 5’s music video were actually “real” wedding parties the group popped in on while filming Sugar.


Feel good music is usually get-to-your-feet music. Back in the my high school hay days this song was sure to me feel good (still does) and I bet it does you, too.

Reasons to put on some feel good tunes…

  1. It motivates!
  2. It energizes!
  3. It stimulates!

Are you ready to get  your feel good mojo on? Turn on the music and let it drift your cares away! 😉

If you’re feeling good, like I know you should, why not follow along with me while I visit other bloggers doing the challenge.

  1. I like feel good music when I’m feeling good, but otherwise let me wallow in depressing stuff.

    1. Ahh, you don’t mean that, Lee! I’m sure music lifts you up, like it does me, when you’re feeling down. Now, I have to go listen to some happy music. Your comment made me 🙁 to think that this is how you feel. Okay, now I’m feeling all :D!!

      1. It’s not as bad as it sounds. Maybe it would be better to say I like more serious heady music. I was just making a stab at a bit of blue humor–as in the blues. Which by the way I’m not a big fan of blues music either.

        But for the most part I find music quite uplifting.

        1. That’s better. Just so you’ll know, I was just having a little fun with you, Lee! After I read your comment this morning, I wrote the first thoughts to come to mind. I’m usually that way with the first words out of mouth and it gets me in trouble, too. *sigh* 😀

  4. We sang Oh Happy Day on Easter Morning at my church. It’s one of those songs you just wanna keep singing. my girls were dancing in their seats!

  7. The DJs at our wedding played YMCA and handed out hats that matched the Village People. Everyone already half sloshed loved it. It was an extended song like 20 minutes long and one of the best moments of the reception.

    1. Well…it sounded like a lot of fun and that’s what memories are all about ~ good times! I bet everyone was doing the whole hand movements throughout the extended play, too. Am I right? lol

  10. OMG this was such a GREAT way to start the day! I love “Oh Happy Day” I think it’s my fav gospel song in the world! Who can’t get excited listening to it?! My husband adores James Brown’s music, he’s a true 50s music fan… YMCA will always be a fav to stand up and dance/sing to.

  14. You made me smile through that entire post. Sister Act was good and so about the feel good music. And I heard that Maroon 5 did drop in on real weddings. I used YMCA when I taught step aerobics lots of years ago to my high school students. Nothing like 30 teenagers singing along with that and doing the arm movements in a gym all day long to feel good.

  15. I admit to being a purist with music. I am a poet, married to a musician. My life has a soundtrack.

    I remember watching James Brown on American Bandstand. I was spellbound.

  17. I remember the first time I heard gospel live, at a touring choir’s concert back home. All people wanted to hear over and over and over again was Happy Day 😀

  18. My goodness. Now I’m awake from all this Feel Good music and it’s almost 1 a.m. So much for bed; maybe I’ll vaccum…. maybe not, LOL.

    Good one, Cathy!
