Twisted Mixtape Tuesday: The Ultimate Cheer Up Kit

twisted mixtape tuesdayWelcome to this week’s Twisted Mixtape Tuesday.  The theme for this post?  We are supposed to make a mix that would cheer someone up!

The following are songs that I simply cannot be in a bad mood when I hear.  I get bummed, I turn one of these songs on.  It works every time! 

Fortunately I have this cutie that always wants to cuddle-a great cure for a bad mood!

This is not only a fun song the video to this one is quite entertaining as well.

Hey Ya-The Outkast

Then for fun, watch this video.  It has nothing to do with music, it’s just funny.

Whose Line Is It Anyway:  World’s Worst Dating Service

It’s amazing that I didn’t name my daughter Cecilia…

Cecilia-Simon and Garfunkel

Now watch this, because I said so…

Cat-Friend vs Dog-Friend

Now, back to music.This one would have been appropriate last week for the dance songs.  Sort of.  Who else thinks Josh Turner has a sexy voice???

Why Don’t We Just Dance-Josh Turner

I would also tell my friend to google “funny wedding announcements”.  Seriously!  I am not kidding how funny I think some of these names are.  I laugh until I am in tears…  You can’t make this stuff up. Do it!  NOW!

But I digress…

I love love love this song.  It is interesting to note that I didn’t even know of it when it would have been popular.  I heard it on Scrubs, so therefore it must be a masterpiece, right?

A Little Respect-Erasure

This is really short… And hilarious… 🙂

Stewie’s Soda

Speaking of the 80s… Daryll Hall with his mullet of awesomeness.  And John Oates-that stache puts most staches to shame…

You Make My Dreams Come True-Hall & Oates

My other go-to cures for glumness include:  Episodes of Friends, Scrubs, movies such as Despicable Me, Better Off Dead, Elf, and The Wedding Singer, to name a few.  Let’s just say I’ve had a few bummed out days in my lifetime.

The Ultimate Cheer Up Kit-kitty not included (though if you catch me on the right day I'd probably send him to you cheap).

So there you have it, my complete kit for banishing bad moods!  Well not COMPLETE… there are a million other things I could have included, but I didn’t.  You’re welcome, I think.  What do you like to listen to (or watch) when you’re a little (or a lot) down?  Maybe you want to write about it?  Hop over to My Skewed View and share, and check out some other fun mixes while you’re visiting!

  1. Great list of songs. I’m a secret Hall & Oates fan, though my favorite was always Private Eyes. That has to be where I developed my obsession with men in trench coats.

  2. You had me until the cat puke, then I almost puked. So thanks.
    YES ERASURE!!!
    AND YES HALL & OATES!!! WOOHHOO!!!! I JUST DRANK A SODA CAN YOU TELL????

  3. When I was younger, and I heard the line in Cecilia “I got up to wash my face/when I come back to bed/someone’s taken my place” I used to wonder why would he get up to wash his face. Then I got older and wiser. Cecillia is probably the most cheerful cheating song I’ve ever heard. But at least it has a happy ending.

  4. That IS a fine “Cheer Up Kit”, comprehensive, too. Loved the songs! Really loved the clips — especially the oe from “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” Very funny!
