Help Need an Upbeat Tune

[nicola25!]

Hi

I am looking for a tune that is upbeat that we can play at an innovation event next week.

The event we held last year we had playing was Iggy pop Lust for Life which was just brillant so we need something a long those lines.

Suggestions much appreciated

Hi!
Well I'm in a covers band and we only do upbeat tunes, so I know where you're coming from.
Here are a few suggestions - and it'll really depend on your event. Chances are none of these will be suitable but maybe it'll start you thinking (by the way, we play lots of cheesy stuff - but we don't necessarily do all these in the band...!)
The Only Way Is Up - MPeople
I Want To Break Free - Queen
Everybody Wants To Rule The World - Tears For Fears
Lovely Day - Bill Withers
Take It To The Limit - Eagles
The Power of Love - Huey Lewis & The News
Walk Of Life - Dire Straits
We Didn't Start The Fire - Billy Joel
Let Me Entertain You - Robbie Williams
Ain't Life Grand - Slash's Snake Pit
Dancing In The Streets - Martha Reeves, Van Halen and others
La Bamba - Ritchie Valens
Love Is In The Air - John Paul Young
Footloose - Kenny Loggins
New York, New York - Frank Sinatra
Whatever You Want - Status Quo

Hope this helps
Drumma...

Status Quo- Rocking all Over the World!

How about

Len- Steal my sunshine

Blues Traveler- Runaround

Ozone- Numa Numa

c'mon, peeps - the most upbeat song has to be "Alright" by Supergrass. I read recently that Dave Grohl wishes he had written this, as it is (in his words) "the perfect pop song." Bless 'im!

Tracks which always innovate & uplift me:

Galvanize- Chemical Brothers

Beautiful Day- U2

Proud- Heather Small (M People)

Don't Stop Me Now - Queen

FireStarter - The Prodigy

Eye Of The Tiger - Survivor (well it inspired Rocky!)

Here I Go Again - Whitesnake

Hysteria - Muse

Just some Ideas! Good Luck

Franz Ferdinand - Take me out (used it at a similar event, went down a storm.)

INXS - New Sensation

eh, Stevie Wonder - positivity..!
