Feeling a little down today? What song would "pick you up?"

A recent poll of 1,000 residents of the U.K. revealed that "listening to a good song can make them feel better in times of difficulty."   More than 80% of the respondents said that "in the past, music actually has made them feel better" when feeling despondent.

Here is the top five list of "pick me up songs" as revealed by the poll in England.

  1. Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen
  2. Dancing Queen by Abba
  3. Happy by Pharell Williams
  4. any piece of classical music
  5. Let It Be by the Beatles

I know that music has always been my savoir in hard times, there's nothing like a good jam tune to get your spirits up!  "Shoot To Thrill" by AC/DC and "Paradise City" by Guns n' Roses come to mind.

Some of our I-95 listeners have suggested "Don't Stop Believin'" by Journey, " I Want You To Want Me" by Cheap Trick and "Walking On Sunshine" by Katrina and the Waves!
