Cut a Rug with the Scissor Sisters

While I was in college, I discovered a happy little tune that never ceased to lift my spirits no matter how low my feelings had sunk. I would press play on my iPod and from the very first few bars I could feel my toes start to tap and my head begin to bob... next thing I knew, my hips were swaying of their own volition to the irresistible beat.

I have always been a fan of "dancing it out" long before I fell in love with Meredith and Christina of "Grey's Anatomy" fame. The childish need to sing into a hairbrush and bounce on the bed travelled with me to college and there I discovered this new addictive anthem. It was like my own personal "Hakuna Matata." How could I feel blue when the Scissor Sisters crooned in my ears? Impossible!

Of course, perhaps the English dork within just couldn't help but adore the irony of boogieing down to a song whose title is, in fact, "I don't feel like dancing" *giggles* You see, even now I find that hilarious and it makes the song all the more endearing to me. Trust me, if you know the song, you know what I'm saying. The beat catches hold of you and just won't let go until you surrender to the melody and break into a little jig. I can definitely muster up more than just "a little soft shoe or gentle sway" when I crank up this tune.

And then, just when I thought I couldn't get enough... Addison Montgomery (formerly Shepard) left good ol' "Grey's Anatomy" and struck off on her own in "Private Practice." She told her former boss, the Chief, that she was going to dance around naked if she wanted to now that she was heading to L.A. Lo and behold, in one of those very first episodes, Addison hopped out of the shower, dropped her towel, and busted a move to my very favorite mood lifter music:

I have included a link to this fabulous feel good tune on YouTube complete with lyrics! I hope you check it out, enjoy the music, and leave a post with your own favorite feel good song. When you're feeling down, what song do you jam out to?!?

Can't wait to hear some of your feel good tunes!

Until next time, this is Megs saying, feel the sunshine, feel the love, and feel the music...
