What's Your Emergency Song?

I mean, one of those days,.. your dog died, your bf/gf/wife/husband, your water heater burst, your car engine is screwed and you have to buy a new one, you played beer pong all night the night before and you are almost 30, you opened the kitchen cabinets and all the dishes fell out at once shattering on the floor, you failed a final exam, you got jury duty.... all of these things in the same day or any combination, maybe just one.

What is your EMERGENCY SONG. The song that will make you happy no matter what (despite incredibly dire circumstances of course)? We need a little happy in here. Here are two of mine.





All of those things have happened to me, PS. In multiple combinations

Mine is not so much about the song as it is about the two singing it. Total underdogs. As they moved toward center stage Simon Cowell whispered to one of the other judges, 'Just when you think things couldn't get any worse.' My eyes water every time I watch this.

I am going to listen to every single one. I swear. You guys are my DJ

Mr. and Mrs. tanda work side by side. Sometimes we listen to a radio station that plays lots of New Orleans musicians. Whenever this song comes on we always stop what we are doing and slow dance and sing this song to each other. It's like medicine.

Great song! I immediately thought of Freddie Mercury. I will have to look him up some more to see what else he has, Thanks!

Tho I am homeless and broke, without meaningful employment and no real prospects of any, i am often reminded that there are those in this world that are worse off than I. When I get down, this is one song that reminds me that sometimes we just need to relax, get rhythm and dance.

- Orion by Metallica



- Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns or Stargazer by Motherlovebone

AWESOME, keep it coming!

I must say, this thread is much easier than the one last night for a single song to choose in general. For this purpose? I didn't even have to think about this one.



It had added meaning for where and what context I first heard it in for an 80's television series, but it's the one I throw on.

Music is a special force for me. I don't do much television/movies. I prefer to listen to music and browse the internet, or listen to music and visit with family.

I have a couple of TB of music that I rotate through depending on what it is I am doing.

This song....it is special to me. I can't hear it without thinking of my beautiful wife:

For energy and enjoy the ride while it lasts, i play this music

That was beautiful, thanks for sharing

There is something about the Wilson sisters that just fills me right back up.
