I could start listening to this in a bad mood, and by the time it's over I'm singing and dancing along.

when I’m down in the dumps and feeling sorry for myself because I've failed at a lot of things I’ve tried to do. I play it to remind myself I haven’t failed at everything.

I’m still not what could be called a real singer and never will be, but after months of practice and learning how to breathe right, my voice has improved to the point that I no longer sound like Harvey Fierstein. I adore Harvey Fierstein, but not sounding like him any more is something I feel very good about.

I looked that up real quick, and yeah it does sound a lot like Funkadelic. It's more catchy.

...came on and everyone in the store, customers and staff alike, were bopping and dancing thru the store. It was a delightful moment.

Favorite feelgood songs, whether I dance to them or not, are:
- Jeremiah Was A Bullfrog
- On the Cover of the Rolling Stone
- almost any lively Beach Boys song
