Pick Yourself Up, Dust Yourself Off, and start all over again, done by many artists but Frankie did it best I think.

I absolutely love to listen to Neil Young singing Harvest Moon when I'm feeling really down, and watching the video never fails to make me smile...

Handyman by Jimmy Jones, but I've got back-ups: Honky Tonk Man by Johnny Horton, The Fool by Sanford Clark, Party Doll by Buddy Knox, North to Alaska by Johnny Horton, Kansas City by Wilbert Harrison, Sherry by the 4 Seasons, Shiela by Tommy Roe, and Greenback Dollar by the Kingston Trio. Wooley Bully by Sam the Sham, Midnight Special by Johnny Rivers, (ANYTHING BY JOHNNY RIVERS,) (I ADORE Johnny Rivers!) Louie, Louie by the Kingsmen;, Come alittle bit closer by Jay and the Americans; snaps me out of any funk right away! Gotta jump up and dance!
But, I don't GET down! I'm always up and anticipating wonders to happen.

I really enjoy the “Playing For Change” YouTube videos but this one is irresistible — I have to dance— Bailar La Bamba!

Two really old ones. Mockingbird Hill by Les Paul and Mary Ford and How much is that Doggie in the Window.

Oh How cool is THAT? I do too! Don't you LOVE IT?@Gaer , I still have the original 45 of Handyman by Jimmy Jones, with Good timin' on the B side... which I bought when I was a youngster, must have had that record for 50 years or more...

While it doesn't exactly cheer me, it does give me hope. The song is "Imagine." The hope may be false.

Yes I do love it...that particular 45 was played so much it's almost totally smooth... I'd take a picture and show you, but they're all in the attic...(but I can see the yellow label in my minds eye even to this day..

Thanks Holly, I haven't heard it in awhile. It makes me want to dig out some of my old CDs and play them, that is if my old boom box will still work. lol
I guess I can play them on my computer as well. I'll check that out.

You Raise Me Up sung by Josh Groban is a favourite one for me
