what song reminds you of Obama/Biden win?

[pookieblue]

i was listening to this song and I thought he could have used this song...because it fits so well.

Bon Jovi's The Distance

then again, the song they were using U2's It's a Beautiful Day is perfect.

1. Beautiful Noise by Niel Diamond

[atomic-fly]

2. Let's Celebrate! Stranglers Live

3. Please don't laugh at me...

Years ago, when Frank Lorenzo was finally banned from the airline industry for life, a colleague at Eastern Airlines (remember them?) said all he could think of was the Barry Manilow song, "I Made it Through the Rain."

I'm NOT a Manilow fan, but that song keeps playing in my head for some reason.

[lizziegrace]

5. Would never laugh

is smiling okay? ;)

I know what you mean though. Most any inspirational song is going through my head now.

[dixiegrrrrl]

15. I think of Manilow whenever I see Rahm Emanuel.

There's a resemblance, I think.

[Haole Girl]

4. This will always remind me of their win

Stevie Wonder- Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I'm Yours

[Whoa_Nelly]

6. Feeling Good-Michael Buble: Has been my earworm since the win

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcaKtQfts-M

and this Eli Stone/George Michael version is fun:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjwAFo4OErc

Birds flying high
You know how I feel
Sun in the sky
You know how I feel
Reeds driftin' on by
You know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

Fish in the sea
You know how I feel
River running free
You know how I feel
Blossom in the tree
You know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don't you know
Butterflies all havin' fun you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when the day is done, that's what I mean
And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For me
Fooor me

Stars when you shine
You know how I feel
Scent of the pine
You know how I feel
Yeah freedom is mine
And I know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
hu
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
It's a new life
For me

And I'm feeling good

7. Here comes the sun - The Beatles.....

[Eurobabe]

8. Ain't No Stoppin Us Now, McFadden & Whitehead

They played it at the Dem Nomination. Maybe that's where the earworm started.

Part of the fabulous Philly sound from the late 1970s - early 1980s. :D If there isn't already something written, SOMEBODY needs to write a book about Philly International Records.

GO PHILLIES !!! Go OBAMA/BIDEN. :bounce: :bounce:

[Shakespeare]

9. Several. First, obviously, is "Signed Sealed Delivered."

Others for me are will i am's "Yes We Can," Spoon's "The Underdog," Van Halen's "Right Now," Roger Waters' "Tide is Turning," Pink Floyd's "On the Turning Away," and U2's "City of Blinding Lights" and "Beautiful Day."

[Arugula Latte]

21. I love "The Underdog." Great tune, and perfect message to the GOP:

You got no time for the messenger,
got no regard for the thing that you don't understand,
you got no fear of the underdog,
that's why you will not survive!

[WritingIsMyReligion]

10. "Signed, Sealed, Delivered," of course.

For the rest of my life I will associate this with Obama-Biden. :)

[Larissa238]

11. Goo Goo Dolls- Better Days

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITM2AKRT9cI

"Tonight's the night where the world begins again"

[Haole Girl]

25. Here's another link:

12. Crushing Day

for the title only, because it's a Joe Satriani instrumental guitar song.

But Joe plays guitar like Obama speaks, and McCain/Palin speak like Cletus/Brandine.

[Dangerously Amused]

13. Most of the above as they were played at the election returns/ victory party

and also Celebration (Kool & the Gang) as it was played that night also.

[Left Is Write]

14. "I'll Take You There" by the Staples Singers.

I've always liked that song, and I've associated it with the campaign ever since it was played after an Obama rally in Ohio (the one where he described having coconut cream pie at a restaurant owned by a Republican).

I also think of "Shambala" by Three Dog Night.

[Aristus]

16. I've suggested this one before; I can't think of a more timely inspiring song:

[OmahaBlueDog]

17. I don't know what it's called, but that Brooks & Dunn song they played at the victory speech

I heard about 3 lines from it, and they are stuck in my head.

[Arugula Latte]

22. Oops, wrong place.

[PBS Poll-435]

18. Don't Stop (Thinkin' About Tomorrow) - Fleetwood Mac

[Flaxbee]

19. Hallelujah,

sung by kd lang. The lyrics cover something entirely different, but the song started going through my head recently ...

That, and Stevie Wonder's Signed, Sealed, Delivered -- which was one of my favorites way back before Obama started using it.

[BlueCollar]

20. You'll never walk alone....

YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE



When you walk through a storm
hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of a storm is a golden sky


And the sweet silver song of a lark.
Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown.


Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never, ever walk alone.
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart


And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never, ever walk alone.

Nina Simone: feeling good.

[Pool Hall Ace]

27. "Dancin' in the Moonlight" by King Harvest

It's such a happy song. And it's what I feel like doing!
