Hey, all. I need a little help throwing together an upbeat playlist of songs to listen to at work. I work along at nights cleaning clinics for a local hospital and since I have nobody to talk to, I need to listen to something to help the time go by quicker.

Shacklock

[Liberty Valance]

Jerry Douglas & Tommy Emmanuel - Halfway Home

[Dr. Sivana]

I have been looking for that generation of NFL Films music and didn’t know the name. Thanks! Many tracks on YouTube.com

It might sound weird, but the soundtrack from Burnout 3: Revenge, a racing game on XBox (the original!), is really bouncy and upbeat. Perfect high-speed driving music.

I’d also recommend Electric Swing, if you can get into that. Caravan Palace’s, “Digger” got me hooked. Their newer music had changed, though. It’s not so swingy.

[Robert DeLong]

Nickel Creek instrumental, Smoothie Song.

Nickel Creek again, This Side...I love these kids, yhey can play some serious music...all 3 masters of their instruments. Look up the live version of Smoothie Song on Soundstage. Mandolin solo is fabulous. They do some other really good songs too.

Steve’n’Seagull, AC/DC gone bluegrass...do not listen to this driving, unless you set the cruise control first...just really fun to watch, don’t know about just listen to...

Steve’n’Seagull again, Born to Be Wild. These guys have a knack for turning hard rock into...something else...good video too.

Al DiMeola and Paco DeLucia - Mediterranean Sundance live, 2 acoustics and some insane guitar picking

I’m posting without reading the whole thread, but if you don’t mind secular music (and if no one has already mentioned it) “Mr, Blue Sky” by ELO is exactly what you seem to be seeking.

[Getready]

How Great Thou Art....George Beverly Shea or others
Spirit of God....Hale and Wilder
Come to Jesus...Chris Rice
City called Heaven....Jubilant Sykes

For more current secular songs which sbould rev you up....

Jingo....Santana
Smokin’...Boston
Quadrant 4...Billy Cobham
Take it as it comes...The doors

Peppy, upbeat with rose colored glasses...

Come the day....The seekers
Lay Down ........Melanie

[Texas Eagle]

Thanks. I’ll check ‘em out.

[Texas Eagle]

Yes. Somebody else mentioned Mr. Blue Sky. Thanks. Already added.

[Texas Eagle]

Good stuff. Thanks.

I have to laugh, because several years ago there was that song “Pumped Up Kicks”. My wife thought it was such an upbeat song, then I told her to actually listen to the lyrics.

“Oh!”

[Texas Eagle]

Oh, boy. Now I gotta listen to it. I have a funny feeling I won't be adding it. But you never know.

I remember liking a song called Wild Wild West back in the late 80s I think until one day I actually listened to the lyrics. That ruined the song for me.

Oh God I hated that song! I did like the Kool Moe Dee rap song "Wild Wild West" though.

[Texas Eagle]

I don’t care much for rap but I’ll check out the Kool Moe Dee song.
