The Positivity Playlist!
You can buy a customized guitar pick from magpiedesignz on Etsy
For Day 4 of Positivity Week, I put together a Positivity Playlist on blip.fm! This list could be a mile long, but I tried to just include the songs that touch me, that make me dance or make me laugh. And yes, I’ll make you share your favorites with me, so the playlist will just keep on growing.
Please note: If you don’t see anything above, wait just a moment for the playlist to load. Hit Play to, uh, play & Next to get to the next song. That’s obviously some “Duh” instructions, but it took me an hour or so to figure out how to embed this friggin’ thing, so I don’t want you to think the only song on here is “Hooked on a Feeling” because then I’ll cry.
On the Positivity Playlist (I love alliteration!) above, you’ll find:
- “Hooked on a Feeling” by Blue Swede
- “Walking on Sunshine” by Katrina & the Waves
- “Grow Old With You” by Adam Sandler
- “Business Time” by Flight of the Conchords
- “Birdhouse in your Soul” by The Might be Giants
- “Extraordinary Machine” by Fiona Apple
- “I Will Survive” by Cake
- “Sexyback” by Justin Timberlake
- “Are You Gonna Be My Girl?” by Jet
- “Don’t Stop Believing” by Journey
- “Anyone Else But You” by The Moldy Peaches
- “32 Flavors” by Alana Davis
- “Lust for Life” by Iggy Pop
- “Blister in the Sun” by Violent Femmes
- “Get Your Freak On” by Missy Elliott
- “Smile” by Lily Allen
- “Sentimental Heart” by She & Him
I also wanted to include the following songs that we’re included on Blip.fm in this playlist, so just click on the title & then hit Play in the Player that pops up:
“Let’s Just Get Naked” by Joan Osborne
“Wishing Heart” by Lisa Loeb
What am I missing? Let me know & I’ll be happy to add your favorites to The Positivity Playlist!

Ah "Birdhouse in my soul" and the rest of the Flood album kept me going during my grade 11 year of high school when I was undergoing my transformation from Geek to Geek who helped the football team pass grade 12 math and therefore gained some popularity (it also helped that I had a really big car that could drive a lot of people around).
"Blister in the sun" makes me think of university where no other song could bring so many girls onto the dance floor to hop up and down and dance with.
Some great selections that bring back good memories and a smile to my face,
thanks!

We must be around the same age, because I was all over "Flood" in 11th & 12th grade. Actually though, the album came out years before that. So maybe not so much. Maybe it's just an album that high schoolers relate to? And yes, I'm one of the jumpy girls when "Blister in the Sun" comes on. One episode of "My So-Called Life" starts with Angela dancing to it in her bedroom, and I think every teenage girl went to buy the album after seeing that so they could recreate it. It still remains to be my favorite song.
So glad you liked it, Jeremie! Been meaning to add "Punk Rock Girl" on there – that was a perfect one you suggested, too.
