[Treacle Toes]

What about 'your love has lifted me higher and higher' by otis reading...'up' in a sort of breakbeat gospel way

That one also!

Donovan - Atlantis. Its got sing-along-ability unlike any other. belt it aout at the top of your voice type thing.

 

[ViolentPanda]

Les Thugs - Moon Over Marin

They sound SO fucking cheerful too, don't they?

Another Dead Kennedys cover that always gets me a-rockin' and a-smilin' is Mojo Nixon's version of "Winnebago Warrior". Class!

[Negativland]

This amazingly technicolour Motorbass track from 1992, 'Deux Trente Trois' is currently making me very happy although it's quite dark in a way and it starts pretty minimal. I may have to YSI it.
