    Best Pick-Me-Up Song?

    Right, what song do YOU listen to when ya need a pick me up? Something that lifts you the moment you hear the opening bars, the sort of song that makes you think everything isn't too bad really.

    Mine are, in no particular order:

    Proclaimers - 500 Miles
    Frank Sinatra - Fly me to the moon/Come Fly with me
    Creedance Clearwater Revival - Bad Moon Rising
    Lost Soul Band - I Don't fear
    Picturehouse - Heavenly Day
    The Pogues - Sally MacLennane
    Polyphonic Spree - Light and Day
    Simple Minds - Sanctify yourself / Alive and Kicking / Chelsea Girl
    The Caped Crusader :-)
