Travel Playlist

[Bluebeth]

Anybody have any suggestions for happy tunes to set up a playlist for the journey to the festival? Already on the list are

Mr Blue Sky -ELO

Every Day is a Winding Road - Sheryl Crowe

California Girls -The Beach Boys

Can be as cheesy as you like but would like to set a summery (word?) vibe :-)

Sun is shining,

the weather is sweet.

Make you wanna move

your dancing feet.

Just this on a loop would probably do it!

But a few other ideas:

Movin on up by Primal Scream

Here comes the sun by The Beatles/Richie Havens/ whoever else!

We have all the time in the world by Fun Lovin' Criminals

Fisherman's blues by The Waterboys

Into the mystic by Van Morrison

Light and day/Reach for the Sun by The Polyphonic Spree

Do you realize? by Flaming Lips

Enjoy yourself by Prince Buster

Just about anything by Jimmy Cliff!

I could probably go on all day!

Cheers Mr Gumby, good suggestions here. My favourite Flaming Lips track too so that's definitely going on.

Made me chuckle, thanks Brave Sir Robin

I find Rudie Can't Fail is the best song for getting you in a good mood, so uplifting and involving, you can't listen to that song without bellowing along.

Wake up Boo - Boo Radleys

[ninetyeightytwo]

Tame Impala - Desire Be Desire Go

Vampire Weekend - Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa

The Bees - (This Is For The) Better Days

Thanks all, is it weird that I'm looking forward to the journey as well? Driving from Yorkshire to Leicester to pick up the camper van then a slow and steady drive to Pilton. Only my second time so I still feel giddy every time I think about it (which is all the time! ).

I'm excited for the journey. We're going by coach, so there'll be a real buzz. However, unlike 2010, it's VERY unlikely that my mood will be ruined by football on the radio!
