My top 5 favourite songs to listen to when I'm in a good mood. (With links!)

Sometimes I'm in a great mood, and I want to feel even better. Or, I'm not in such a great mood and wanting to change that.
 

These are the songs I like to listen to:
(Do yourselves a favour and listen to them with headphones to make sure you get all of the nuances.)

Number 5 - Jean Jacques Perrey - 'Schwing'
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urfaO5ZmMMQ)
'Schwing' is made on a moog, an old electronic instrument they used in the 80's to make funky electro music.

Number 4 - DJ Sasha - 'Magnetic North'
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrD_42qodoQ)
This is a wordless trance-piece that is I feel is deep, relaxing and rhythmic. It makes me feel like I am on a train, driving through space and the ocean.

Number 3 - Lemon Jelly - 'Space walk'
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVCB3qpplLk)
This piece is so calm (despite its rough start), and it fills me with positive energy. I feel as if I'm just drifting off into space, leaving all my worries behind. It always leaves me with a big smile on my face. :)
(... Just don't try and read the history about the astronaut whose voice they used, it will kill your good mood)


Number 2 - Bobby McFerrin - 'Don't worry, be happy'
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-diB65scQU&ob=av3e)
Such an inspirational song. The lyrics are so uplifting, and reminds me to just forget about my troubles and relax. Oh, and also, Robin Williams, the comedian is in the video!

Number 1 - New Radicals - 'You get what you give' 
 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DL7-CKirWZE&ob=av2e)
My most favourite song of all time. I remember hearing it several times during the end of the 90's and the beginning of 00's in the radio, but I never figured out who made it. Then,  in 2009, I downloaded the soundtrack to the entire 5 first season of Scrubs, and another song by New Radicals was on there. I searched for them on youtube, and this song came up. 2 years later, I'm a hardcore fan of all of Gregg Alexander and Danielle Brisebois's work. This song is so energetic and uplifting, and it makes me feel awesome each time. And the bass is so cool!
